Magnet: over/underrated songs by The Who
I love it when the mag does my favourite bands. I end up liking most of the "overrated" songs anyways, though. I'm the kind of person who, if I like a band, I like their entire discography, plus b-sides and stuff. I'm a full-album person, too, if you haven't picked up on that.
according to Magnet, though, here's the list
most overrated:
1. My Generation (haha whatever I love this song)
2. Squeeze Box
3. Who Are You?
4. Behind Blue Eyes
5. Tommy
most underrated:
1. The Who By Numbers
2. Early Morning Cold Taxi
3. Just You and Me, Darling
4. A Legal Matter
5. Let's See Action
read the explanations HERE
I love that line in Almost Famous (the movie that got me to listen to the band for the first time)...when Jeff says "I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay". The Who were just a cut above the rest.
what do you think?

yeah, I like the overrated ones anyway. my generation is a badass song, I don't care how many times they plat it
Except for Squeeze Box, the overrated ones are great, and A Legal Matter is a really great song, and instead of Early Morning Cold Taxi they should've put The Who Sell Out.
