YES!!  You hit it on the head.  Raw and powerful is what sets the who apart 
and it is also what sells today.  I've said this before:  the who's sound is 
a modern one and one that has contributed to the sounds of many bands 
recording today.  I for one want to hear some dramatic stuff from the band 
that really founded the hard rock genre.  Those on this list may be bored 
with baba o'riley because it was so popular, but whenever non-who friends of 
mine are in my car, and many are 19 or 20 yrs old, they always say, "Play 
that really great who song."  I instantly know they want BOR and when i play 
it they get fired up.  The new album needs a couple of heavy weight tunes 
like this, along with some more creative stuff that pushes the envelope- as 
the who did from 65-78.
