1. 'Magic Bus' might be a nice choice.

[Redleg]

2. Damn damn damn- so many good songs.

EOM

[saltpoint]

3. And if I shiver, please give me a blanket /

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat...

Voted "Behind Blue Eyes," as great a composition as I have a right to ask for. I would shoot six U.S. Senators to hear this song. For that matter, I'd shoot twelve if I could choose the Senators.

6. Substitute

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

(and other great lyrics)

9. Hi, kwassa. Lyrics are where it's at for me.

Thanks for setting this in front of me tonight. I'm appreciative -- it's sort of my calling...

[kwassa]

23. You're welcome

"I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth..."

One thing I love about Google is I can find song lyrics so easily.

I type "lyrics", then the song title in quotes, and then the artists name.

here is some more from this very witty song:

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

[hickman1937]

13. I thought that was"pregnated you"

AH well, times change.

[sundog]

4. "A Quick One While He's Away"

maybe not the best, but I like it

[JimmyJazz]

25. I love that song!

But, I think my favorite is probably "Sea and Sand" or maybe "5:15"

I dunno. It depends on my mood.

5. Baba O'reilly

Don't cry
Don't raise your eyes
It's only teenage wasteland

[Boswells_Johnson]

7. The Seeker n/t

[jonnyblitz]

8. magic bus . n/t

[BillZBubb]

10. I went with "I Can See for Miles" but

"Pictures of Lily" is a great song. Gotta love the humor!

[peekaloo]

15. and Squeeze Box.

[peekaloo]

11. Pictures of Lily

[bikebloke]

12. I'm Free

It seemed whenever I quit a suck-o job, moving on to what I hoped was a better future, I'd hear that song on the radio that day.

edit - damn typo

[Sporadicus]

14. 'The Real Me'

I believe Pete Townshend surpassed the innovation of 'Tommy' with 'Quadrophenia,' and 'The Real Me' is my favorite cut on that album.

[Redleg]

16. Yes- I like Quadrophenia better than Tommy.

Quad had some great songs- I just didn't have space to list all of them. I am waiting for the Deluxe edition of Quad to be released by MCA.

[Zomby Woof]

17. My Wife

All those masterful Townshend pieces, and an Entwhistle tune beats him out.

Kind of like how George got "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by John and Paul.

[Redleg]

22. Heaven and Hell is great too. Especially the live version from

the Deluxe Live at Leeds.

[Wilber_Stool]

18. Amazing Journey/Sparks

from Tommy.

[Ramsey]

19. Eminence Front

I've always been partial to that song.

[Zomby Woof]

21. I LOVE that song!

Just heard it the other day for the first time in ages, and it still makes me turn up the radio. Hard to believe it was 23 years ago now...

[FredScuttle]

20. "Baby Don't You Do It"

with a Leslie West cameo....absolutely incendiary rock n'roll

[XNASA]

24. 5:15

I love the movie sequence in Quadrophenia during that song.

[CanuckAmok]

26. I just love "The Seeker"

But I've met few Who songs I don't love.
