[QUOTE=NAF1138] Good idea! Who wants to set it up (not me)? [/QUOTE] I’d love to see a Kinks madness. I wouldn’t even mind setting it up myself, but I’m probably not the best qualified, as I’m unfamiliar with any of the post-_Word of Mouth_ albums. ---

oh come on, down to four songs and NONE of them are from Quadrophenia? I needed to join in on this way earlier (it’s a slow afternoon for me, so I’m having more doper time than usual) as The Who is one of my favorite bands. This one is actually really easy. Baba O’Riley - does anyone NOT like this song? Won’t Get Fooled Again - I repeat, does anyone NOT like this song? My Generation & I Can See For Miles are good songs too, but not GREAT songs. I’m not sure if either would even be in my top 20. A while ago, I classified The Who fans into three categories - the My Generation fan, the Pinball Wizard fan and the Baba O’Riley fan. I am in the third category, as I am the biggest fan of their Who’s Next/Quadrophenia synth era. Has anyone run a Pearl Jam, They Might Be Giants or Weird Al countdown? I would love to volunteer for any of those, just as long as the winner isn’t going to automatically be Even Flow, Birdhouse and Eat It… ---

I may be really missing something, but what’s the point of all these surveys? Is a final list compiled? (I haven’t seen one.) And so what anyway? What am I missing?
