| Good music for me means any original music that sounds good. Here you will find (in time) reviews and recommendations on albums made by such artists as Public Image Ltd., The Who, Kinks, Chemical Brothers, Beatles etc. There were several relatively unknown great bands in the sixties that also will be told about here. And now...The Who! |

| Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy. 1) I Can't Explain A powerful guitar riff accompanied by Moon's amazing drumming, a catchy piece of work, their first single under the name The Who. 2) The Kids Are Alright Basically a celebration of youth, a great song with great lyrics, and Moon's drumming is as outstanding as ever. 3) Happy Jack A nice little piece, with weird lyrics dating back to some of Townshend's childhood memories of the Isle of Man. If you didn't notice Moon's feirceful drumming on the first tracks, you'll definately notice it on this one. 4) I Can See For Miles As a rock song, both musically and lyrically, and as far as production goes as well, a fucking classic. Nuff said. 5) Pictures of lily Another classic in the sense that masturbation hadn't actually been the main topic of a pop/rock song before, and the music of course speaks for itself. 6) My Generation You propably know this one already, don't you? 7) The Seeker Another one of Townshend's soul searching-songs. Quite good. Not a classic. 8) Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere Partial lyrics by Daltrey. Note the feedback effects that actually made radio stations presume that there was something really wrong with the tape. 9) Pinball Wizard Another classic, both lyrically and musically, although out of context (the Tommy-lp) it might seem just weird. 10) Legal matter A song about marriage, with Townshend on vocals and the song quite like The Rolling Stones' The Last Time. Not one of my favorites. 11) Boris The Spider A funny song, the lyrics of which Entwhistle made up as he was playing it to Townshend. 12) Magic Bus A very intriguing song, with a simple Bo Diddleyish riff played on an acoustic guitar and the drums, bass and electric guitar taking over at the end of the song. A stage favorite. 13) Substitute Another brilliant classic. You need to hear it. 14) I'm a Boy Townshend's lyrics give you something to wonder about once again, and musically a compelling piece of work. A nice end for the compilation. |
