The Who @ Superbowl XLIV

like the Saints, the band started off slow but slowly gained momentum until POW, they hit you with an explosive force of awesome

this was one of my favourite Superbowls, ever. such a good game. such a solid performance from Townshend. too much good stuff.

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

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?
