Favorite "The Who" Song (1 Viewer)

[PIK95]

You Better You Bet surprisingly.  I also love You Can't Do it Alone, but it's not listed.  

5:15,  I Can't Explain, and Baba round out my top five.  Tough one as I really like about twenty.  

 

[The Kansas Comet]

So many great ones to choose from, but voted other:  The Song is Over

 

[Pip's Invitation]

That’s multiple write ins for two songs from Who’s Next that weren’t on the ballot. A testament to its greatness.

 

[Brony]

Went with Other.  Love that Teenage Wasteland song.

Not sure if you are kidding or not but that is called Baba O'Riley

On the way to work today heard We're Not Gonna Take It / See Me, Feel Me from Tommy. Instantly thought of this thread.

Just wanted to give the ox his due. In addition to Boris the Spider, he also wrote this catchy tune.

My daughter loves Boris the Spider.

Also shout out to my wife that also has a squeezebox she wears on her chest.

Also near the top for me: The Punk and the Godfather

A Quick one from rock n roll circus

I've watched this about 10 times since it was posted.  I love how John Entwistle dominates the last 1:30 of the song with his thundering bass that is juxtapose with his super high falsetto.  In a classic rock and roll bassist move he does this while practically standing still in the corner as everyone else is jumping around getting all the attention in center stage.

I also love seeing Pete sing out the "You are forgiven" making a faces that lets you know, yeah, she's not forgiven at all.  

That is just a fantastic performance.

I'm curious who the other vote was for "Substitute."  That's my choice, and I figured I could be the only one.  Have no good reason that it's my fave; it just scratches my musical itch.

Catchy tune with clever lyrics.

Catchy tune with clever lyrics. 

I never quite figured out the meaning of: The north side of my town faced east/And the east was facing south 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I never quite figured out the meaning of: The north side of my town faced east/And the east was facing south 

I'm guessing Pete was stumped for something to rhyme with "I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth".

 

[zamboni]

I never quite figured out the meaning of: The north side of my town faced east/And the east was facing south 

I *think* Pete means that he was born on the wrong side of the tracks. At least that is what I've read as one interpretation.

thanks for the poll and links.

voted other cause Happy Jack.

Happy Jack is still my favorite because timing is everything sometimes, and it was the 1st Who song i heard at age 14, on my little bedroom radio and it's amazing.

went out and bought the 45 and played it over and over on my little bedroom record player.

it's joyous and doesn't take itself  seriously and the drumming and  "i saw ya".   and probably the hormones were kicking.
