I prefer The Who's version. Daltrey does a nice job with it.

Really? I've loved The Who's "Melancholia" since I first heard it. It's
got great lyrics, a depressing feel, & a raucous angry ending. "Faith
In Something Bigger" I'm still struggling with, though, lately I've been
starting to appreciate it more. The backing vocals irk me a bit; Pete's
"down, down, down, down..." Too.....goofy?

Then the best line: After pausing to let Pete & John try to figure it out,
Keith says, "What was the one you suggested, Rog?" (!) Classic!

Can't be. I'm a Kenny fan but I've never been fond of his playing on "The
Real Me." What about "The Quiet One?" *There's* a better Kenny
performance.

Man, it's all go at your house! I love "Hiding Out!" (It's a guilty love.)

One of my friends reacted to the song this way, "What? Is this Pete trying
to sound like Jimmy Buffet?" (!) ;-)
