Great Solo by Pete.

I do not usually read the (usually rather silly) comments on youtube. However, consider this one (no affiliation):

I dont know what it is, but somehow those 3 chords Pete plays from 2:10 to 3:10 contain the meaning of life.

Won't Get Fooled Again is probably my favorit Who song, but it's followed closely by Squeeze Box. I know I'm most likely alone in that, but I really dig that song.

Although it doesn't rank with my favorite Who tunes, I too like "Squeeze Box." Kudos to the band for having the balls to do such a lighthearted tune.

My favorite Who songs are the usual suspects on "Who's Next." Yes, they've been played to death, but there's a good reason for that.

Very tough call. I love the who. Not too long ago I bought the Live at the Isle of Wight DVD-there is some great stuff on there. At the moment, I'd go with My Wife. I happen to like Entwistle's singing.

Coach305 · July 21st, 2010, 11:02 PM

Pick one? You're kidding, right?

Depending upon my mood, any of the following would get my vote:

A Quick One
My Generation
Call Me Lightning (first song of theirs I ever heard on my favorite AM radio station)
Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere
We're Not Gonna Take It

I can't pick a favorite as I am a big Who fan. There's something in each era of their career that I really like. For the early stuff, I really like their version of "Leaving Here" (really like Motown, too, so this is a double whammy for me!) and anything where Pete is railing on a 12-string Ric, like on "Can't Explain," "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," or "The Good's Gone." Of course, I'll add "My Generation" to this list, too.

For the late 60's/early 70's, I'd have to say "Young Man Blues" as I just just saw Rodger Daltrey live last month and his band did a killer version of it. And of course Tommy and Who's Next are epic.

For the mid/late 70's, I'd say the solo acoustic version of "Drowned" and "Who Are You" and "Trick of The Light." See, it's hard to pick!

I love, love that one!

I'm a huge fan of their first 2-3 albums, but if I had to pick just one song, I think it would be...

The Real Me

E5RSY · July 22nd, 2010, 01:08 AM

If this thread has proven anything so far, it's that no one song can be chosen. Too many great ones!

Mechanic · July 22nd, 2010, 01:30 AM

Substitute
A Quick One
Whos Next (any/all)

JosephB · July 22nd, 2010, 01:41 AM

Parma_TeleMon · July 22nd, 2010, 09:25 AM

5:15 (perhaps the whole Quadrophenia album as well).

castpolymer · July 22nd, 2010, 09:46 AM

I am a huge Who fan. It is hard to narrow it down, but I gotta go with " Substitute " with " Behind Blue Eyes ", " Squeeze Box " and "Reign O'er Me " coming in a very close 2nd,3rd and 4th.

Here is a sweet vid of a vintage live performance of " Substitute."

Jerry J · July 22nd, 2010, 12:03 PM
