Thought I’d see or done this before but couldn’t find, so… The idea is list three songs from a given group: one song you love, one you just like, and one you hate. I’ll start: **Lynyrd Skynyrd** Love: I Know a Little Like: Mr Breeze Hate: Free Bird ---

> [@Tad](#): > > I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like Tommy. I love Tommy, but “Underture” is just ten minutes of album filler that’s just repeating an earlier track in the album. [Hell, even Roger Daltrey agrees with me on that one;](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/8606544/Roger-Daltrey-Why-I-brought-Tommy-back-to-life.html) [QUOTE=Roger Daltrey] The Who never played all the songs, but I’m going to be singing all of them. The only thing I’ll leave out is the instrumental, Underture, which was just a lot of bits we joined together to fill a big gap on the original vinyl album. [/QUOTE] ---
