about 1 year ago

Ok, so we got to talking about The Who over in Rob's Rock Star journal, and I went to listen to Das Who in iTunes and these are the songs I have in there, and after going through them all, I can safely say that they're my essential Who. Please feel free to add your own choices. :)Baba O'Riley - The synth and Moon's drum fills and the chord progression, especially during "Teenage Wasteland"Mary-...

Ever do that thing of watching a program or a film & a piece of music comes on that makes you go "Shit! How did I forget that that song is amazing?" I do it.All the time. The most recent time was when I was watching the 1st season of House (damn Hugh Laurie is good in this, oh epsiode called Control for all you House fans out there) & at the end The Who's Baba O'Riley came on...forgotten song t...
