Re: Face Dances/It's Hard on one CD

I have to say that while these albums were not up to certain Who albums, 
I think both of them are good albums.  You Better You Bet, Another Tricky 
Day, Eminence Front, Its Hard, Cry IF You Want, Dangerous, and Athena are 
all great songs.  I am not sure that any WHo album after Quadrophenia 
measures as a classic album, but these two have some classic moments.
