Re: Covering the Who
Maybe we should take a little poll here . . .
What songs do we think most young listeners today (because, let's face
it, that's who we're talking about selling to) would like? I mean, a
song like 'I've Known No War' may not be as meaningful now. As a
younger fan (21) myself, I know that the majority of listeners today
don't really listen to the lyrics, which is a severe drawback.
Here's my take on a few:
WGFA: No chance. Too long; listeners lack the attention span.
Can't Explain: I thinkt his would be a good one. It's short, it's
eternally applicable, and there's the commercial.
ICSFM: My favorite, so I think any and everyone should do it!
Seriously, though, it has universal meaning.
AQO: Too much of a plot for kids to follow.
Pete's personal songs may not make it as well; I think maybe the
earlier, more pop-oriented material might fare better. Hate to say it,
but I'd shy off Tommy, except maybe "Eyesight." I think 'Cousin Kevin'
might lead to some interesting results, though.
I think John's songs might hold out well, esp. My Wife.
Just IM very HO
