Re:It's Hard and Face Dances

I have to object to someone post saying that if Keith lived that It's 
Hard and Face Dances would never have happened.  After all in "The Music 
Must Change" in 78, it's all about the music being different. (obviously).  
Most 
groups from the 60's that continued to produce albums in the 80's changed 
their style dramatically.  Moody Blues, Yes, Genesis, among others all 
went Pop.  I think It's Hard and Face Dances have  very good eighties 
sound.  It would have sounded weird to have those songs drummed by Keith 
because the style is so different.  Nonetheless, they are two of my 
favorite albums because The Who actually tried something different in the 
studio but remained heavy on stage.
