Useless Who airplay trivia



The mainstay rock station in New York, WNEW 102.7,  had it's classic 500 
song countdown recently.  They play the 500 songs counting down to number 
one. How did the Who fair? In past years, the Who always had two in the top 
ten. Can you guess which ones? Times up.  Baba and Won't get fooled. 
 However, this year Won't get fooled dropped to #16.  Baba O. is #7.  Who 
beat Baba O. ?
#1 Stairway to heaven  (always number one)
#2 Satisfaction  (not the Devo version)
#3 Layla
#4 Freebird  (probably the 2 hour version)
#5 Comfortably Numb
#6 Hey Jude
#7 Baba O'Reily
#8 Born to Run
#9 Light my Fire
#10 Hotel California

If you're into this sort of thing, the complete  list is on wnew.com.  I 
think the Who have 22 entries in the top 500.

Anyway, Why should I care?
