The Kids Are Alright Man, I totally forgot the song, Pure and Easy, existed. WDVE in Pittsburgh used to play it every so often in the 70's and early 80's.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Love Reign O'Er Me.What a song that is,always grabs me and keeps me. Saw them at the legendary Isle of Wight fest in '70 and as usual,they blew me and everyone who was there away. I keep on about their cameo at The Concert for New York but it really is fantastic,sadly blocked on YT but available on the CFNY dvd.

[@who6489]

Great list Pete! Been a WHO fan since '82. Too young to see them at Shea. Also got into them big time after hearing the TKAA soundtrack. 1. Naked Eye (Odds & Sods) 2. The Song Is Over (Who's Next) 3. How Many Friends (Who By Numbers) 4. Drowned (Quadrophenia). Always incredible when played live. The version from Toronto '82 is stellar! 5. Young Man Blues (Live At Leeds) Yeah, it's a cover, but The Who make it their own. 6. Eminence Front (It's Hard) 7. Magic Bus (Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2000) Amazing harmonica from Roger. 8. Sparks (Woodstock, TKAA soundtrack) 9. Bargain (Live '72, Who's Missing) 10. The Real Me (Quadrophenia) HM... My Generation, A Legal Matter, Substitute, Whisky Man, Tattoo, Overture, Amazing Journey, When I Was A Boy, Baba O'riley & WGFA from TKAA, Quadrophenia, Sea and Sand, Slip Kid, Dreaming From The Waist, New Song, Music Must Change, Another Tricky Day, It's Your Turn, Real Good Looking Boy, Mike Post Theme, It's Not Enough. ;-)

[@MBonfire1]

As great as the records are their live shows brought out the immense power of these songs. Saw them in '76 with Keith and they were beyond epic.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Wow, I am envious!

[@chalitin11]

@@seaoftranquilityprog thats my favorite version too!!!! woodstock is epic... but then in the 70s... they didnt played it that well i think so.... cheers!!! from panama central america!! i play guitar too im 35 years old!

[@Trifixion22]

Fully agreed. I'm never able to get fully into the studio albums. Who's Next does nothing for me. But those live shows... WOW! Shows they're talents much more. Live At Leeds is the perfect example: Entwistle's bass in loud and clear like the sound of thunder, Moon is doing all kinds of apeshit drum fills, Pete's guitar tone is amazing, and Daltrey screams up a storm as Pete would say.

[@tomfisher2103]

Love the WHO, the band that introduced me to rock and roll. So many legendary tunes. Like Goin Mobile, I'm One, Dr. Jimmy, The Seeker, Long Live Rock, Had Enough, Slip Kid, The Quiet One, Eminence Front, My Wife amongst others.

[@mikereiss4216]

I never saw Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin live but I did see the Who in 1989 at Giants stadium. Great show.

[@continentalgin]

Great list, Pete! Love your honorable mentions, too. I was going to say Boris the Spider for honorable mention, if you didn't, ha, ha, so you're right on, as usual. My very first big time rock concert was The Who, December 2, 1971 in Memorial Coliseum, Dallas, TX. I was 16 years old. This was the Who's Next Tour and Pete wore a spacesuit. We watched the concert through a thick haze of pot smoke and got to partake because at that time, hippies would roll continuously and pass joints down entire rows of seats. The cops did nothing. There was a wall of gigantic amp speakers behind the band (similar to AC/DC) so like, it was LOUD, and there were stage to ceiling scaffolded walls of car headlights surrounding the band and pointing at the audience, however they remained off until the first of two encores, when they did See Me, Feel Me / Listening to You. So building up to a climax of their most powerful sound, they go into Listening to You and the first time Daltry belts out "You" at that exact moment, all the car headlights come on simultaneously. The crowd orgasmically roars and we're all blinded by the light. They came back for a second encore, did My Generation, and proceeded to demolish all their instruments, amps, and the drum set and yeah, they tossed pieces of gear into the audience. Those were the days!

[@fingersfrank2]

Good story.

[@ralphmarrone3130]

Love Reign O’er Me is the perfect song. Townsend at his absolute best songwriting. And that pick slide at the end of the song...whew...kills me every time. Glad you mentioned I’ve Had Enough from Quadrophenia. I love this song. The banjo in it is the perfect touch. Townsend was amazing.

[@Trifixion22]

And Daltrey's best vocal performance!

[@JammyGit]

It's gonna be hard to condense The 'Oo down to a top 10 but I'll try.... 1) See Me, Feel Me / Listening To You.

I saw The Who in Tinley Park,IL in 2002. They played "Love Reign O'er Me" twice. TWICE!! Roger was upset that he fumbled some lyrics, so he demanded that they play it again. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BAND DO THAT. Great show.

#1 and #2 for me are the "Live at Leeds" versions of "My Generation" and "Magic Bus", which make up side 2 of the album. The extended jam/medley after "My Generation" is just stunning! So damn heavy AND beautiful!!! I can still remember how completely blown away I was the first time I heard that album right after it came out, especially side 2. #3. I Can See for Miles #4.

[@grimtraveller7923]

Yeah, the jams after those two are enthralling at times. But I always found the Who to be a schizophrenic band. They really had two personas and perhaps more than any band I can think of off the top of my head, except Cream, they were one band in the studio and another band live.

The Who has to be my all time favorite band. I first heard of them when I saw the Tommy movie on t.v. back in 95 when I was 12 years old, and I've been hooked on them ever since. They are actually in the studio right now recording a brand new album, I just hope that it's better than Endless Wire.

Pete.....love your taste in music! (Also viewed your top 10 rolling Stones songs) Difficult task in creating top 10 with albums Quadrophenia and who's next and of course, Tommy.

[@bostonwhofan]

I've always thought if Pure And Easy had been included on the original Who's Next album it would have been one of the all-time rock anthems. Hard to believe that gem landed on the cutting room floor. Ditto Join Together. To me, Love Reign O'er Me isn't just the greatest song by The Who, it's the greatest song ever by anyone. I recently saw The Who at Fenway Park and it was SO beautiful to see them playing Imagine A Man live September 2019!!! Looking forward to the release of the new studio album by The Who in about 2 weeks!!!! Long Live The Who!!!

[@FredK2929]

Could you do a list for the Kinks?

[@jimg6570]

Great list! Also love Trick of the Light and My Wife. Great romantic ballad: Love Ain't for Keeping. Hate to say it but Pearl Jam's live cover of "Love Reign" and "The Real Me" at the VH1 awards was stunning. Best Who cover ever.

BELLBOY from Quadrophenia - the closest thing to a tribute to Keith Moon - gustsy yet tender and beautiful song with the memorable lyric - "A beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real'

[@noogie1]

Tough tough choices. My favorite Who song is Sea and Sand.

[@noogie1]

Funny point when I saw the Who in 2003, I swear Pete pointed his guitar at me when they played it! They will always be my favorite band of all time, glad to be seeing them again this year in September. Also really love Pete's solo albums, too.

Right on about See Me Feel Me from Woodstock!That was so powerful and loved that SG Pete played there.Probably his heaviest guitar tone ever.

[@1alwayswired]

Nice list Pete. I love the fact you included Naked Eye and Young Man Blues in there. I couldn't have left My Generation, Behind Blue Eyes, and I Can See For Miles out, but as you said, there are so many great tunes by the Who that its extremely difficult to limit a list to just 10 songs. This list is one you could have done like you did Alice Cooper with a top 5 classics and then 10 more deep cuts. I really liked that format because it allows you to include great songs that you're burned out on like Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reilly while including songs like Sparks and Heaven and Hell. BTW, although I haven't written for publication outside of a few articles for my local newspaper back in the day, I do like to write and am passionate about music, with a wide and eclectic range of genres that I love and collect dating back to the sixties, particularly hard rock, progressive rock, fusion, blues, jazz, funk, reggae, and southern rock. For the most part I dig metal but my breadth of knowledge isn't as deep as some other genres. Let me know if I can help.

Saw them for the first time in '82, so I have good feelings about "It's Hard" even though they themselves weren't happy with it. Your Turn, Cook's County, and Cry If You Want were excellent in my opinion, as was I've Known No War. I think the song that hit me the hardest at that show was Substitute, though.

A top 3 is "Don't Let Go the Coat." It ain't "quirky" (no right or wrong notwithstanding), but one of Townsend's most concise pieces of songwriting, both lyrically & musically. One of the very, very few times he tried to put forth something of import without it being over-imbued with angst & melodrama. Srsly, listen to "5:15" then "...Coat" & think about the guy who wrote them. I hear someone who's grown emotionally through 12 or so years of real hard self-destructive living & all the loss that comes with it. But, like most creative people, he blew his nut long before, cuz that's really the only great song on the Face Dances album. Oh well. Sucks getting old. Point is "Don't Let Go the Coat" says everything that "Love Reign O'er Me" & "See Me..." say, without all the TeenDramaQueen© bombast that always made Townsend/The Who too tedious for me to take more than in passing since I've been listening since 1972. Except "Live at Leeds." That CRANKS. For real, you have to listen to that loud enough for ALL the neighbors to bitch so hard the cops finally have to respond with a full SWAT team. No bs with a couple patrols from a unit. Full truck, crew of 20, snipers, couple blocks cleared out - the whole deal - PLAY IT LOUD. 100 watt guitar amp with 4 10s should do it. 2 would be better. Only a few albums rate that. Ramones' "Rocket to Russia", Clash's "London Calling", Stooges' "Funhouse", BÖC's "Secret Treaties" & "Some Enchanted Evening", & The Jam's "Setting Sons." I need 3 more. That should be your next list. "The 10 Albums You Have to Play SO LOUD the Cops Will Come Over and Kill You. Just Shoot You Dead."

Join together. Should at least get a mention

[@jameshunter7303]

No mention of Let’s See Action? Never appeared on an album but it’s a banger. Love Quadrophenia, would probably make up half of my top ten. Much prefer it over Tommy but Who’s Next runs it close

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Good tune- completely forgot about that one.

[@memphissoulstew]

Yeah Relay and Join Together good tunes from that period too!

[@Soedel.Deluex]

Recently, what's left of The Who (Daltrey and Townshend) showed that they could still produce interesting music, with their "Endless Wire." The Who was the quintessencial rock band, more than the Stones. The group was always about great sound, loud music, even louder lyrics. As Daltrey said himself once: Rock is about having a good time ✌️🤟🤘

[@grimtraveller7923]

As much as I love the Beatles and their backing vocals, and though they were clearly superior in that dept to the Stones, the Kinks and the Who, I just love the Stones, the Kinks and Who when it comes to the way they did backing vocals in the 60s in particular. Each were great examples of how, in compensating for their deficiencies, they came up with something more interesting than the experts and the soulsters some of the time.
