I love this so much

Yeah, this is one of the (many) Who songs that I'll play for someone where they'll say, "That's the Who?!"

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.

Sunn? Sunn? It's your cousin, Marvin O))) (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 9 September 2012 22:32 (thirteen years ago)

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. :(

Definitely. As a musician/composer/professor of mine used to say, "The reward has got to be that THIS is what you DO."

And let me just say, the live version in the YouTube link has that inimitable Who quality of "Wait, we're already in an airplane...and yet, it feels like we're taking off again."

Yeah, decided I'd go up to #35 today at the last minute.

Sunn? Sunn? It's your cousin, Marvin O))) (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 9 September 2012 23:09 (thirteen years ago)

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.

Irwin Dante's Towering Inferno (WmC), Sunday, 9 September 2012 23:09 (thirteen years ago)

Sure, will do!

Sunn? Sunn? It's your cousin, Marvin O))) (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 9 September 2012 23:10 (thirteen years ago)

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."

20-song ballot was more brutal on this poll than any other, imo.

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)

Irwin Dante's Towering Inferno (WmC), Sunday, 9 September 2012 23:47 (thirteen years ago)

I love Quadrophenia but it's not really a singles album for me... I like it as a whole thing

Grimy Little Pimp (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Monday, 10 September 2012 00:24 (thirteen years ago)

Disguises was my #2. I suspect it's because a Toronto band I used to revere did a blistering cover of it, and that's the version I really love.

ρεμπετις, Monday, 10 September 2012 00:33 (thirteen years ago)

The Lawn, right?

You got it.

ρεμπετις, Monday, 10 September 2012 00:40 (thirteen years ago)

Two old Toronto guys detour thread...Didn't realize this had started. I believe "Love Ain't for Keeping" was the last thing I cut, when I added one more early song.

clemenza, Monday, 10 September 2012 00:44 (thirteen years ago)

what kind of 60s vs. post-60s ratio did y'all end up with on your ballots? mine kind of accidentally was a perfect 50/50

some dude, Monday, 10 September 2012 00:50 (thirteen years ago)

Christmas is too low but it's hard to separate from Eyesight to the Blind which I'm sure will place higher

right?

Euler, Monday, 10 September 2012 00:52 (thirteen years ago)

1960s -- 17
1971 -- 3
