Despite my Rush-Influenced Username, I am a huge Who fanboy, and I am curious as to what my fellow tele-aficionados favorite Who-tunes are.

Mine's gotta be Time is Passing.

It's a very obscure song they only played live in 1971 and it's just gorgeous
Here it is:
The Who - Time Is Passing

So, what's yours?

Rob S · July 21st, 2010, 07:33 PM

I really like The Who and one of my favorites is their version of Young Man Blues from the Live at Leeds album (disc or tape)

kplamann · July 21st, 2010, 07:36 PM

Except for the obvious (Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled, Drowned, ...) I'd say:

Imagine A Man.

Oster · July 21st, 2010, 07:42 PM

"Fanboy". Now there's a term I don't see often enough.

No offence to the OP but man I hate where language is going.

Anyways, The Who:

Favorite song is 'So Sad About Us'.

E5RSY · July 21st, 2010, 07:43 PM

"Pictures of Lily" - One of the greatest Rock songs of all time.

Larry F · July 21st, 2010, 07:43 PM

I Can't Reach You
Pictures of Lily
Substitute

But I am not sure if the total goodness of this music outweighs the singular badness of Squeeze Box. Why didn't Townsend's inner ear tell him how uninspired that song is? The fallibility of composers always bothers me.

My Wife, followed by Won't Get Fooled Again, then much of Live at Leeds. I particularly like the "My, haven't we been stupid" aspect of WGFA. It's so much like the way my generation turned out 40 years on, except we haven't actually had that much insight. Testosterone intoxication.

Substitute.

Naked Eye. Specifically the live version from The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 CD:

Great Solo by Pete.

refin · July 21st, 2010, 08:42 PM

That's a tough one,so many good ones.

DougieLove · July 21st, 2010, 08:46 PM

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.

Brad Pittiful · July 21st, 2010, 08:54 PM

im a early who fan more than their 70s 80s and beyond stuff...but there are a few 70s tunes i like...but my fave(s) might be

substitute

i cant explain

the seeker

and magic bus

hekawi · July 21st, 2010, 09:44 PM

a lot of hits to choose from, but this album track from Who's Next is my fave:
"Getting In Tune"

Ted Barchetta · July 21st, 2010, 09:50 PM

I'd also like to give the entirety of the Quadrophenia album an honorable mention. Not a bad song on there as far as I'm concerned.

Televised · July 21st, 2010, 09:54 PM

I can narrow it down to everything off of "Tommy", "Live at Leeds", "Who's Next" and "Quadraphenia".....not to mention Pete's, "Empty Glasses".
