New Album- Old song

[JVNNSJSP@aol.com]

I have a lot of songs by many different artists in my real player. The more 
recent hits sound much clearer and have a more powerful sound due to the 
advances in recording technology.  This has nothing to due with the song 
itself, of course.

Considering this, I wondered what Who song could be re-recorded to be 
reintroduced to the record buying public with a new, more dynamic sound?  
What would fly today? My choice would be to redo "I can see for miles" with a 
ferocious sound and put it on the new album. It is great, but recorded back 
around '67.  

I want them to be successful with this possible new album and I want to hear 
it on the radio in a big way, sort of like when the song Who are You came out 
in '78. That was a great event.  I love that song.  Where/How did Pete come 
up with that sound?  It is totally unlike any other song and *that* one held 
up like a mug!  

 This week the local classic rock station is playing all of their requested 
songs from A to Z. I have been playing it on the job to hear some songs that 
I never get to hear. I have to admit that half of it sounds so old. I can't 
take obscure CSNY songs or hippy stuff too much. (I am always proud of any 
song by the big four.) Anyhow, after "court of the crimson king" finally 
ended, we had enough and switched it to the current rock station.  I was 
delighted when Who Are You played on this station. It sounded so fresh and 
strong. No one groans on the job when this song plays.  That and WGFA are 
probably the only Who songs left that are still on the  "New Rock" station's 
playlist. I want to hear new Who on This station, not the classic rock 
station.

Is this a longshot? Probably. But The Who do things that no other bands are 
capable of.  That, and they are the band that has Pete Townshend.
