Am I the only one who thinks the new Who song is TOTAL CRAP?

Eddie Vedder says it's the best rock music ever?

Am I mistaken, or does it sound like mid-80's Roger Daltrey?

I don't listen to radio and only dialed it up on Rhapsody yesterday, so if I missed the first wave of praise/ridicule please excuse me.

WHO ARE YOU was the Who's swan song. . .simple as that!

Somebody please tell Pete Townshend.

I think Eddie may have hitched his wagon to the wrong star. If you wanna make art, head towards Arizona and paint rebel landscapes with Paul Cinnamon, er Simien, er Simonnon, er, the cool guy on the cover of London Calling!

I love the old Who stuff, but wasn't too impressed with it either.

Who Are You...as the swansong???? You've obviously never heard Quadropenia, Who's Next or Who By Numbers??? Not to mention Tommy?!

Cope, I think you misunderstood the post. A "swansong" means a final appearance. The albums you stated are all great - among my all time favorites in fact, but they all pre-date Who Are You. I think migdd was lamenting the fact that they really did nothing after Who Are You that could match what they did previously.

2 things to consider...the song played live was much better than on record...and the video is great, footage of Elvis Presley & The Who...kind of put it in a new light for me. I give them an E for effort.

POV..oh yeah *GG thanks.....I kinda took it to mean their Zenith

Keith died....so whatta do? By the way, I saw them play Quad in San Jose CA, about 7 years ago with Ringo Starr's son on drums....that was incredibly hot.........Zack Starkey is damn good. Pete's bro' was playing lead guitar.....Billy Idol and Garry Glitter made appearances....that was the best concert I have ever seen.........even better than the 50-60 Dead shows I have seen.

I still think that Face Dances is cool............or just grab some of Pete's records after Who Are You.........

I think Pete & Rog should keep on doing what they're doing. I'm curious. I mean, we all know it's not That Who, but it's better than no Who at all.

I got the new Kids Are Alright DVD two weeks ago and that is the greatest way to observe and celebrate this band. Their Rock & Roll circus version of A Quick One is amazing.
