It's got me wondering, did anything after, say, 2000 place in the Stones poll?

i'm pretty sure nothing after 1983 placed in the Stones poll. these artist catalog polls have generally been unforgiving of fallow later periods (of which i tend to try and find at least one or two songs to champion).
― manic pixie, mercy, yo chick she's so quirky (some dude), Sunday, 9 September 2012 21:18 (thirteen years ago)
i didn't get a chance to vote in this one but if I had "love ain't for keeping" would have surely been in my top 10. nice to see it place here. not the greatest of songs but crushing performances across the board. just totally committed.

If the Who hadn't put out Endless Wire, I'd be stuck for late-period songs to champion (but probably would've gone with "Cry If You Want"). But shit, "Mike Post Theme" beats everything on It's Hard, Face Dances, and most of Who Are You.
Oddly, though, it was the one Endless Wire song that wasn't better live than on record.

i actually kind of underrepresented Who's Next on my ballot relative to my love of the whole album, sacrificed "Love Ain't For Keeping" and some other great tracks for the sake of covering other albums/eras

i think it goes without saying that "Eminence Front" is the jewel of the post-Moon era and will do pretty well

Also, Moon fought for it to not be included on the record. Partly this was because he felt it amounted to a Pete solo track (which, yeah, it is), but partly because he was fighting for the inclusion of "Jaguar," which Moon sang lead on.

I finally watched the Ox's Tale documentary that Steve Luongo directed. Kinda amateurish in the way it was out together but great, great interview with Pete in there. And quite a bit of good stuff from the Ox himself.

Yeah, and I always admired the fact that Entwistle self-financed/went into debt in order to do solo tours.

I kinda love that. It's was sorta cool how much he needed to perform....a little bit sad bc it seemed to replace something he couldnt get from home life/family...but still, he seemed to be fed by some kind of creative need

When Pete talked about playing the night Ox passed away, that line where he said he went to look over at Ox and when he wasn't there he just wanted to die. :(

Enjoying the rollout so far. I have a request for Tarfumes -- could you include the number of votes along with the number of points? I was wondering how many fellow "Ox" voters were with me and realized the # of votes wasn't there.

Pure and Easy. One of the alltime classic "How could they leave this off the album?" songs.
― kornrulez6969, Sunday, 9 September 2012 23:15 (thirteen years ago)
I know, right? They played this at a lot of their 1971 shows. It's one thing to say "Here's one from our new album!" in the first two or three songs; it's another for a reject to be the second song in your set. Like Jeff Beck said, "They were too good."

Both of those were late cuts for me. "Sea & Sand" has a great arrangement, but I think some of the lyric is too pat. (But that goes for Quadrophenia as a whole, so ehhh)
