Whew.
Are either of the albums any good?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Let's see - they got the East coast and West coast - but aren't they still forgetting part of the country?

Yeah, that's the part of the country I was trying to remember....
ION, is it just me? I think Who's Next has four good/great songs, but everything else seems like filler to me. Isn't it supposed to be one of the most awesome albums in the history of the universe or something?

I'm trying to think of which songs you don't like.
I love "Going Mobile" (even with its cheesy synthlines), and "My Wife" (one of Entwhistle's classics), "Bargain" (great, ferocious love song), "This Song is Over" (one of Pete's best quiet piano tunes). "Getting in Tune" is a lesser ditty but it's still a good song. I figure you've already got "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Riley" on the good list.

The ones I really like are "Baba O'Riley", "Bargain", "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again." I also like "Gettin' in Tune". Many of the other songs I've only listened to a few times though....
Comparing that to Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, where I love just about every song....
eta: MBBaB was a collection of singles, right?

Yes, it was.

Well definitely give "Bargain" and "My Wife" another chance.

I'm with Tommy on Who's Next, really. I don't know if Tommy feels the same about Tommy, but Tommy is the Who album that I feel the most Tommy-like about, presuming that "Tommy-like" means "believing the album wraps a few great songs in a lot of filler" in this context, and "Tommy-like," which I haven't used but merely implied, means "Pete's self-indulgence-ometer goes to 11."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I thought that was Psychoderelict.
