Sweet

Love that horn section.

Imho, Townshend is one of the most underrated songwriters of my generation in this country. Ppl talk about Dylan & Prine & such songwriters, but Pete could write in any genre he chose with pure unadulterated power. Much of his writing lends itself well to orchestration, too. I love that guy![/u][/b]

Yeah and he could sang. Roger Daltry is a good clapper.

Do you remember when The Who came out with a CD of celtic versions of their songs? BTW, they are going to be the half time act for the upcoming super bowl.

Aw man. everthing they do for the Super Bowl half time ends up being soooo cheesy. To bad.

Posted: **Sun Nov 29, 2009 11:36 pm**

Yeah but at least it is them.

and not someone like Lady Gah Gah. I only watch half time during Super Bowl night.

Whats a Gah Gah?
I'm almost afraid to Google something that sounds that lame.

I stopped watching football after my wife got pissed when I threw a can of beer at the Cowboys. :oops:

Not only that...They are the all around most-ut. The did an album of Celtic versions of their greatest hits. Also Roger Daltry worked with the Harlem Boys Choir. I mean to step out of your skin...your comfort zone and step into someone elses territory is amazing. Roger Daltry also is not a bad actor. I think they are amazng and I feel like I know nothing of them. I know you guys can share more about them than I can.

Good songwriter, good rhythm player...horrible leads.
