Tenstrum Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 For the past week, every time I've turned on the TV, Radio, or got on the internet, something to do with The Who pops up.... I can take a hint! I'm going to go pick up the greatest hits today. Please! The Who stop stalking me! I promise to learn "Won't get fooled again" and "Teenage Wasteland"... Tenstrum "Paranoid?

davebrownbass Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Assaulted by The Who? Lucky Guy. At least you have ears to hear it. The Who is brilliant. I have Tommy memorized.

Still spendin' that political capital far faster than I can earn it...stretched way out on a limb here and looking for a better interest rate.

I I mjrn Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Besides whatever actual Who tracks are making the rounds on air, this past seems to be the year Townshend scored big in marketing his back catalog to commercials. Both Who & PT solo tracks are showing up in all sorts of ads lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzilla Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 "Let big bucks open the door.." er, "my love"... yeah, that's it. Not meant to say he can't make a living from his craft; he's earned it. He had some good things to say about his "selling out" on his website a while back; basicly said that when the commercials use the actual Who recordings, the whole band makes money, and he wants to share as much with Roger (and John's & Keith's estates) as he can, as he initially made the most from royalties. Not leting them be used would be denying the others income, and he's not vain enough to do that. Awesome, influential band that was truly greater than the sum of it's parts.

Damn right, Zeronyne...The Who needs an Asian in the band, and I'm sure they've got a couple openings. I'd audition if I were you.

Tenstrum Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 And last night, I turn on Music Choice to hear Van Halen doing a version of "Won't get fooled again"... It was actually pretty cool. Tenstrum "Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face."

Mike Bear Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I have not purchased any "Best Of" Who albums, but I have most of them otherwise. The "Live At The Isle Of Wight" is a great album and DVD. I went to the premier of that DVD the weekend Entwistle died. He was supposed to be there and talk. Ran Manzerik spoke instead about him. So many good Who albums. If you are sick of the raido hits. Listen to "The Who By Numbers". There's about 3 radio songs, but you normally won't hear them as much as others. It's one of my favorite Who albums. For those that didn't know Entwistle did the cover art for that album.
