            "You Really Got Me" is better. "All Day and All of the Night" probably does, as well.

              They did release a Who 12-pack last year; I think they just released another Who song a few weeks ago, but **** if I remember what it was.

              The above mentioned Floyd songs would be great, as would anything off of "Wish You Were Here" (maybe not Shine On You Crazy Diamond; regardless, maybe my favorite album ever made, right up there with Who's Next), the choice cuts from "The Wall", and selected songs from their later years.

                  Oh **** no. You Really Got Me is the other end of the scale for sure. One of the ****tiests songs the Who ever recorded...

                    Yeah, that one works. Where we up to then?

                      Given that The Kinks recorded it, I can't help but doubt the worth of your opinion on the subject.

                            To support KH's theory on Irish music, I suggest that both "Brown Eyed Girl" and "Wild Night" are better than Baba O'Riley. "Gloria" also rocks, but I don't think it's better than BO...

                              They are more-or-less the same song. I love them both, though I haven't heard the Who's version that Krill is talking about. The Doors covered them, of course, thinly disguised as 'Hello, I love You'. Didn't fool the lawyers though.

                              It's been too long since I listened to Zep.
