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?
