Hm...maybe there's a playlist that it's on this month?  I heard it too,
yesterday (Sat 3/30) in an Albertson's grocery store in Austin -- the
studio version, "Let My Love Open the Door".  I was just on my way out the
door when a riff stopped me in my tracks.

As to non-Who favorite bands ... um ... I'm sure I'll remember someone I've
left out five minutes after I send this, but:

To just take the records out & listen (during the perhaps 10% of my
listening time that isn't Who-related):

Little Feat (tend to prefer the pre-'79, i.e. with-Lowell-George material)

Fleetwood Mac (pre-Lindsay Buckingham era, i.e., with Danny Kirwan, Peter
Green, Bob Welch, etc.)

The Monkees

On the A-list:

Led Zep, Clapton, Springsteen up to & including "Born to Run", Hendrix,
Aerosmith, Tull, Beatles, Al Stewart, pre-"Hotel California" Eagles.

See anytime they're in town:

Little Feat
Melissa Etheridge
Dread Zeppelin
George Thorogood

Would like to have time to find out more about:

REM
Matthew Sweet
