who love songs
Happy Holidays to you all,
I've been skimming through the messages, so I may have
missed it, but has anyone mentioned "SEA AND SAND"? To me, this
is the ultimate Who love song, and for a long time I've kinda felt it's also the
quintessential Who song. What I mean is, if someone who had never listened
to The Who asked me to play only one song to convey what their music is like,
I'd pick that one. I'm no music expert, so this may sound corny, but here
goes. I feel Roger's singing there is as good or better than on any other
tune. Pete's guitar ranges all over the place, from quiet solo to amazing
power chords. John's bass is so powerful and has such a presence
too. And listening to Keith you hear both his ability to let go to wild
abandon and his ability to control. Not to mention the beauty of the
words, or the place the song immediately takes me too. I feel I'm on the
beach there, each time I listen.
I'd be curious to hear what you all think of that idea
