Your top five from the Shepard's Bush boys
Mine would be.
5. I can see for miles
4. Sea and Sand - "I just want to die with you here, I just feel so high when you're near"
3. My Generation - Speed Stutter and that bass line. We invented it, lets take it over.
2. 5.15 - "Two returns to Brighton and a dozen purple hearts please"
1. Won't get fooled again (full length version) - had to be really
Next week - Paul Weller (The Jam/Style Council/Solo)

You choose some tough ones Henry, again I could have added quite a few more.
Baba O’Riley – it’s only teenage wasteland
Behind Blue Eyes – fantastic ballad
I can see for miles – ‘cause there’s magic in my eyes
My Generation – classic
Won’t get fooled again – we’ll be fighting in the streets0 -
I was tempted to put So Sad, Baba O'Riley and a few others in as well including the Patti Smith version of My Generation.0

My Generation - great anthem -- Why don't you all fff... fade away...
I Can See for Miles
Pinball Wizard
Won't get fooled again

"zoot suite, side vents 5" long-- im out on the street again and im leeping along-- dressed right for a street fight -- but i just cant explain why this uncertain feeling is still here in my brain"0 -
1. Won't Get Fooled Again - Full Version - the Daltrey scream - awesome!!
2. Bell Boy - (Keiths theme) Something slightly "punky" about it. "..always running at someones bleeding heels"
3. Baba O'Reilly - I just love the instrumental sound. "..put out the fire before we get much older"
4. Substitute - The Live at Leeds version - just a bit more angst. "..I look bloody(pretty) young but I'm just backdated"
5. My Generation - The Anthem. "..I'm not trying to cause a big s-sensation, I'm just talking 'bout my g-generation"
My next 5 would be
Love Reign Over Me

Must have done Gh, although to be fair I was between four and eight when they were at their pomp and the beard or the musical interest hadn't quite developed by then. By the time Quadrophenia came along my musical tastes had already been shaped eleswhere.
Not saying there hasn't been stuff I've liked, but sorry, just not my type of music I'm afraid.0 -
The long version of Won't get Fooled Again which demolishes 99.9999% of all other recorded music
Then I'd say
The kids are alright

My Generation
The Sex Pistols version of Substitute was bloody excellent BTW0 -
