The Who - The Song Is Over

(This post prompted by an hour long argument with a coworker about who was better, the Who or Led Zeppelin, and my resulting victorious enjoyment of putting my entire Who collection on shuffle for the rest of the afternoon.  It ignored almost everything off of Magic Bus, but still managed to hit some of the best.  So have a playlist.)

So here’s the thing about the Who: my dad’s seen them at least four times live.  My sister saw then from the tenth row in County Cork when she was studying abroad.  I’ve never gotten to.  On the list of artists I would probably kill a small child to see live, they are at the very top. 

Seriously, Zeppelin is great, but they don’t have anything for the Who.  You can’t beat Entwistle and Moon.  You can’t beat Quadrophenia.  It can’t be done.
