Why? Because I'm right? Or because you now want to listen to those songs and you don;t have them

Well, just off of Who's Next...

1. Won't Get Fooled Again
Yes.

2. Love Ain't For Keeping
3. Bargain

No. I would have at least given Behind Blue Eyes some consideration. Water is clearly the fourth-best song on the album.

And "Who Are You" is the second-best of the CSI themes, after "Won't Get Fooled Again".

Mmmm. I will allow for that possibility. I don't agree, but I think that is not an unreasonable opinion.

Don't badmouth "Good Times, Bad Times"...
I quite like that song. But it's not in the upper echelon of Led Zeppelin.

All great songs, but I'd take Behind Blue Eyes, Love Reign O'er Me, and Boris the Spider ahead of all them.


EDIT: Squeezebox, too.

I disagree.
When I think of the very greatest Zeppelin songs, I think Kashmir, Stairway, Rock and Roll, Black Dog, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, D'yer Maker, Fool In The Rain, Misty Mountain Hop, long before I even consider Good Times, Bad Times.

Hey, it's a fun trip to get there, but it's a long one.

He's pretty ****ing good, no lie. But that's nowhere near Baba O'Riley.

Please go see you local psychiatrist Guy. That's not healthy.

You need to karaoke "Good Times, Bad Times" some day. Really makes you appreciate what a great little song it is. As soon as they let Led Zeppelin songs appear in Rock Band, I'm all over that ****.

I'd much prefer a Rock Band: Who to a Rock Band: Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon and early songs like "Interstellar Overdrive", "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" would be fun, but I can't imagine slogging through the interminable songs that make up the greater part of the Pink Floyd catalog.

Great song. Amazing song. Nowhere near as good as Baba O'Riley.


I can think of only four Stones songs that I'd ever consider: Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Sympathy For the Devil, and Gimme Shelter.

They did release a Who 12-pack last year; I think they just released another Who song a few weeks ago, but **** if I remember what it was.

The above mentioned Floyd songs would be great, as would anything off of "Wish You Were Here" (maybe not Shine On You Crazy Diamond; regardless, maybe my favorite album ever made, right up there with Who's Next), the choice cuts from "The Wall", and selected songs from their later years.

"You Really Got Me" is better. "All Day and All of the Night" probably does, as well.
Oh **** no. You Really Got Me is the other end of the scale for sure. One of the shittiests songs the Who ever recorded...

Given that The Kinks recorded it, I can't help but doubt the worth of your opinion on the subject.
