I agree with you Johns writing is very very different from Pete's but thats
the whole point.
Songs like My wife and Success story provide a crucial balance and variance
for Who's next and Who by Numbers. Lets Not forget Fiddle all about and
Cousin Kevin onTommy.  Or Boris the Spider and Heaven and Hell which as we
all know live show staples.
And IMHO he saved Its Hard from being a waste of time.  I think It's your
Turn and Dangerous are the two strongest songs on that record they rival
Eminence front and One life's enough.  His solo writing isnt as good as his
Who output yes i agree.   P.S did i forget to mention.....Had enough, 905
and trick of the light.
