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?" (!)  ;-)
