This is a really cool "what might have been" kind of speculation. What if
we were to say that Empty Glass wasn't a totally new Who Album, but the
tracks you mention replaced some of the weaker tracks on Face Dances? That
album could have looked something like this:
Rough Boys
You Better You Bet
The Quiet One
Cache Cache
Gonna Get Ya
Let My Love Open the Door
You
Empty Glass
Jools & Jim
Another Tricky day
Wow, that could have been a great album. Some sappy songs and some outright
rockers. A couple of great Entwistle numbers. I like it. Probably they
would have included at least one of the songs you thought were a little soft
for Roger, though. And that might not have been a bad thing. I mean, if
Roger can sing How Many Friends, then why not And I Moved or I Am An Animal?
