Can't really say if listened to loads of Who tracks, never really 'got them'

Eek!

Try any/all of the following, if you can be bothered. Personally I'd go no further...there's a lot of filler on Who albums. When they were good they were very very good, the rest of the time they were just average.

Won't Get Fooled Again
Baba O'Riley
Behind Blue Eyes
The Kids Are Alright
I'm Free
Pinball Wizard
5.15
The Rock
My Generation
I've Had Enough
I Can See For Miles
Song Is Over

Or just buy Who's Next. Their best album by a mile.

Jeez we were all going along nicely choosing our favourite stones tracks and the world was lovely.
Somehow its been turned into yet another STW barney.
Where is the youthful optimism that we all had back in the 4 oclocks?
Peace and love to all.
PS I am about to start a most over rated bands in history thread where we can have a right old moan.
PPS the northern soulers kept it nice.

[blows trumpet] worked on their '76 tour as part of the road crew, interestingly they didn't play a lot of their established classics (except maybe at Knebworth); more of the Angie, Fool to Cry type stuff [/blows trumpet]

psling - Is it correct that Mick Jagger threw a wobbler at Knebworth because Lynyrd Skynyrd played a blinder of a set and he didn't think the Stones could follow it?

its all nice in here still!
just a few that need to be convinced is all..

as for Who comments above, totally agree about the album filler, although you missed

'Cant Explain'

from your song list!

Won't Get Fooled Again
Baba O'Riley

are totally amazing.

Im also a big fan of thier 'comeback' single Real Good Looking Boy, although alot of Who fans dont seem to like it.
I find it very touching, and although its mainly refering to Elvis, I find it speaks about the love between father & son...brings a tear when I hear the last verse...

Slimjim- Daltrey can't sing? Jagger's worse, and the less said about McCartney the better!

Yeah, I agree, Jaggers hardly conventional but as per Daltrey, its the right sound for the band.
Daltrey does hit some bum notes though...and have you heard him these days? oooch...
Top top fella though

chapaking - chill Winston. its a rock'n'roll love in here. youz two is bringing the beef.

+1 for Memo From Turner. Also Stray Cat Blues, Monkey Man and loads of stuff from Exile but Happy is a fave of mine. The Black Crowes did six great covers at their last gig at the Fillmore which are avaliable on I chunes, including a great version of Midnight Rambler which is one of my least favourite Stones tracks. TBC version seems to have something extra.

Blimey, it was a long time ago From what I can remember, there was a big delay before the Stones went on stage but that was because the band had a big lighting special planned and it was still too light for it to be effective so Jagger was holding things up because of that. Skynyrd's Freebird had gone down brilliantly earlier but if I remember rightly 10cc were on before the Stones and they didn't go down too well. Sound at these events wasn't always brilliant in those days. We weren't very involved at Knebworth because it was promoted separately to the Stones tour. I do remember it was a hot day, very hot

Ref the Beatles, Stones, The Who debate; they were all different, all very influential, the Stones and The Who were great live bands (I never got to see The Beatles ) The Who Live at Leeds is a classic album too, another favourite of mine by the Rolling Stones is High Tide & Green Grass.
