Thank you... And you may be right about the Zeppelin vs Who sales... But,
the Who have had more albums make the charts than Zeppelin.  I don't think
many of Zep's did right out of the gate... And I checked Billboard today...
The Who have more albums on the catalogue chart than Zeppelin.  However The
Beatles have the most as *every* Beatles album from Help to Abbey Road is on
the chart (and the Red and Blue collections)... WOWZA!

I like "By Numbers" myself... I think, though, that I listen to the *new*
Quick One a bit more...
