I’ve enjoyed the rock “Madness” threads enough that I thought I’d try to contribute one of my own. (I really wanted to do Jethro Tull madness, but I figured there wouldn’t be enough potential players.) Anyway, you all know the drill: just pick your favorite from each of the following 32 pairings. This round will close Tuesday evening 4/15/08, around 6:00 p.m. PDT. Maybe. **Pete Townshend bracket** 1. Pinball Wizard vs. 2. Getting In Tune 3. I Can’t Explain vs. 4. Join Together 5.

Great job with the brackets. I was surprised to see some of my favorites weren’t listed at all, but then again my Who favorites folder has a hundred tracks in it. **Pete Townshend bracket** 1. Pinball Wizard 2. Join Together 3. Disguises 4. I’m a Boy 5. I’m Free 6. A Legal Matter 7. Substitute 8. Baba O’Riley **Roger Daltrey bracket** 16. Anyway Anyhow Anywhere 3.

While it’s clearly better than Imagine A Man, it never stood a chance against Boris The Spider. ---

[/quote] I omitted many of my own favorites, too. _Sell Out_ is my favorite Who album, and is conspicuously underrepresented here. I was going for the songs I thought would be best known, which is why _Who’s Next_ is represented in its entirety. [QUOTE=Ellis Dee] ETA: Btw, did you intend to include **A Legal Matter** twice?
