Ranking the Who



Thought people might be interested in this.  Every memorial day, WZLX
in Boston counts down their top 500 of all time.  This is the first
year that they've done it completely by listener vote, and the Who got
shafted but big.  Formerly, WGFA always made the top 10 or 15.
Anyhow, here it is, plus the top 20 for curiousities sake.  (It is a
Boston station, thus Aerosmith in two of the top 5 spots.)

(Sorry it's late, their website had problems.)
