I hadn't thought about that; I just went through the song list on
www.thewho.net and listed off anything not written by Pete.  Even
though they may have been written for the Who, I still consider them
covers.  They aren't songs by the band members themselves.  By that
definition I think lots of bands would be categorized as "cover bands"
exclusively, which is fine by me.  It doesn't mean that they suck,
just that they don't write their own songs.  George Thorogood makes
some great music, but its 99.9% covers.
