Now that Pete's too old to be trashing hotel rooms, I'll be Mr. Townsend.

I've changed my mind. Can I go that other one that nobody knows who he is?

Charlie Watts? Somebody turned this little party into the Stones and didn't tell me?

Keith Moon is the dead drummer. At least he used to . . . uh, yeah, he's still dead.

Will gladly play bass and keys and stay away from the forefront. John Entwistle suits me fine.

Ya'know, I always wanted to be a rock drummer - they always look like they're having so much fun there, and, in fact, they have the ability to throw everybody else into the toilet!

I saw Cream back in 196-something, and they were all wasted. If Clapton wandered off and wierded out improvising, the song just got strange. If Ginger Baker did the same, it stopped. That's why drum machines took over - egotistical guitar players were tired of drummers runnin' the show!

Of course, Charlie Watts didn't happen to be one of those powerful drummers, but Keith Moon, now THERE's a story!

I agree .... Charlie was so UNDERwhelming. Most High School bands had a drummer that could wipe him up. The Stones were just a "garage band" anyway. It was all about energy and presentation with them. There was never any real musicianship to get excited about. The writing was the key .... they sure did crank out the catchy "hooks".
Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash ..... those licks will live forever.

My hat goes off to any one who can keep a band together that long. It's harder than a marriage.

Yeah, but we're The Who, and I for one have no doubt that we could beat those pesky Stones at a tag team wrestling match ANY DAY!

Due to the release of David Bowie new single "Slow Burn" which features Pete Townsend at the guitar, I'll go for him as my choise of Who member. I like to be alive and productive. BTW it's a good single, a little too pop-ish for Bowie, but I can live with that!

Cheers,
Maximo

Dave:
The Stones were definitely "Hooks R Us" - I hated them for it. I still can hear that opening guitar lick to "Satin Shoes" - something desperately simple that I never tired of.

Soft Machine:
I vaguely remember "Small Faces" - that was Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, wasn't it? Can't remember anything they did . . .

I only know that I don't want to be one of their amplifiers or speakers.

Instead I just want to be.......me. But I'm afraid I'm no "Who" member .

Small Faces: Itchycoo Park. Very revolutionary in terms of phasing used on percussion.

John Entwhistle (Who bassist) always will be one of the best...but have you ever heard his guitar work?? The man is a genius.

Leon:
Don't remember that either . . . but you didn't answer my question! You forced me to take drastic measures - I LOOKED IT UP!

Steve Marriott guitar/vocals (born January 30th 1947, London, died April 20th 1991)
Jimmy Winston/Ian McLagen - organ (born May 12th 1945, Hounslow)
Ronnie Lane - bass guitar/vocals (born April 1st 1946, London, died June 4th 1997)
Kenny Jones - drums (born September 16th 1948, London)

Considering I'm their age, I'm a little upset by the mortality rate . . .
