Yep! In fact, taking away "Who-> Are You" and "New Song"
there isn't a song on WAY that rivals the poorest track on
"TheWho->ByNumbers," IMO, of course.

Yes, indeed, everything by TheKinks is a masterpiece.

With Townshend's admitted high regard for Ray Davies
it's surprising that TheWho-> did not follow The Kinks'
lead in this respect.
