Now she can sing




Thats genius , She mentions a million reasons for her to walk away and pounds that hook in

Again for a twenty year old kid to conceptualize this into a song..


The lyrics "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me" are not a literal physiological fact but rather a poetic representation of psychological and physiological needs that are well-supported by science. The line, from the rock opera Tommy by The Who, speaks to the power of human connection in healing trauma and the importance of social integration for mental and physical well-being.

I remember Pete walking out with him.

The police and fireman got shot a lift from the who coming to New York to tear the house down for 9/11

It does. But I entered college as a psyche major and none of these ideas were ground breaking at the time.
Deaf, dumb and blind goes back to forever, as does being healed.

I do not think that the songs on TOMMY are bad.
I also do not think that they are some great milestone in lyrical history.
And when I listen to "SUNNY" or some "Vintage rock station...almost no WHO. Once in a while, "Behind Blue Eyes" or something... but unlike ZEP and DEREK & Ds, CLAPTON solos and some others, there appears to be little interest in WHO music.

Oh really there's no interest in one of the biggest bands in rock music?
Strange.

Listen to classic rock radio, see if you can go two hours without a who song.

Love Clapton, but he's nowhere near Pete as a writer

I just came across this amazing song from tommy, id say the fans are pretty interested

Dom,

If you are going to argue about everything, you should try being right about something, at least, every couple of months.

Question at top



In vintage rock, what bands get the most airplay in 2025?



Google Search
Based on classic rock radio airplay data from 2025 (so far), the vintage rock bands that consistently get the most airplay include:

AC/DC

Aerosmith

Bon Jovi

The Black Crowes (among the "youngest" vintage acts still heavily played)

Blue Öyster Cult

Eagles

Guns N' Roses

Journey

Kansas

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Ozzy Osbourne (solo and with Black Sabbath, implicitly)

Pink Floyd

Queen

Rush

Scorpions

Steve Miller Band

Tom Petty (solo and with the Heartbreakers)

Whitesnake

Radio playlists often focus heavily on their biggest, most iconic hits (e.g., Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine," Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," etc.). While the specific ranking can shift, these bands and artists are mainstays of the "classic rock" format.

Phrasing the question as "CLASSIC ROCK"

Bands like The Who, Rush, Deep Purple, Boston, Styx, and Jimi Hendrix are also core artists that frequently appear on classic rock playlists.

Dom at his last job.

First if all,v you started arguing with me, you came here.

Secondly do it this way, how many legendary songs dies Bon Jovi have, Does acdc have, does skynard have, does Boston have

Well round them off at three

.the who have more songs on who's next than skynard has all time.and all those bands

How many of these bands are consistently ranked in top ten of all time.how many iof these bands have more than one song on any greatest songs of all time.

Wanna say Beatles, stones, zep and....?

My generation is usually ranked in top 5 of all time. Baba oreilly , behind blue eyes, won't get fooled again, the song is over,

Long live rock, pinball wizard,WHO FUCKin RE you....

You better you bet, ...

Not to mention dozen songs from early sixties..

Two rock operas...

Doesn't conpute

Lest we forget...

You keep staying in the past , its 2025 and a different game now, Hell its 2026

I did not argue with you.
I corrected you, and offered some proof to back up the correction.


Rather than accept that and build on an actual fact, you, like other adolescents, continue bumping your gums.

It's not about the WHO. It's about Dom.

When I see a remarkable musical performance on YT by some artist that I may never have heard of, I post it here.
I dont go into all the reasons why I think that it is a remarkable performance.
I let the performance speak for itself...or not.

Dom digs up old stuff that relates to when he was a teen. His primary songwriting style is that of his teen years.
In this case, he digs up the WHO because their influence is one of the things that made him the great songwriter that he is today.
And he goes into detail about why that is.

First of all, anything you have posted here, is not more remarkable than...the Beatles ,the stones, the who, ied zeppelin...THOSE bands speak for themsekves

It's just good.

Secondly Dom digs up old music...get it right, he digs it up because that is where the best music is, in the past

If you were a songwriter of any kind you'd know that.

It's unfortunate that the best stuff is behind us, but it's true nonetheless.

I dig y up the who, cause it made a massive impact in me, I dint think I'm influenced by them musically, as they are too damn good for me to emulate.

i don't think the who made me a great musician or songwriter at all, they did create my interest.

I am able to tell that I'll never write songs like that, you aren't.

And I don't need the who to make me better than you, that's a given.

You once again open your mouth thinking you have the answer to everything.

You are wrong nearly all the time

That is the point that I made.

And Ben is right. It's 2025.

Also correct...the WHO was a huge band, but in 2025 they do not appear to make the rotations in classic rock formats nearly as often as other bands. The demand is not there. If it was...they would.

No they just appear in nearly every car commercial, movies, tv, CSI , ...eminence front between innings at ball games.

I saw a baseball player walk up to the plats with who are you

So we should call jelly roll great cause it's 2025?

These companies must like wasting their 💰 ney since this is no real interest in the who

The exact number of commercials The Who has appeared in is not readily available, but they have been featured in multiple commercials. iSpot.tv states that there are three nationally aired TV ad campaigns for The Who and that commercials featuring the band have aired 52 times in the past 30 days.
Specific campaigns: iSpot.tv has tracked at least three national TV campaigns that feature the band.
Recent activity: In a 30-day period, commercials with The Who had 52 airings.

I can recall Cadillac, apple iPod, and video game sega.

And since nobody cares about the who, it's funny they'd choose to use the music to launch their products.

And how many classic rock bands can have similar success as a solo... Not page, not jaggar, not Angus young ...

Sting... Ok

The exact number of TV appearances is not listed, but Pete Townshend's song "Let My Love Open the Door" has been featured in numerous films, trailers, and TV series since its 1980 release. Some notable examples include the TV series Doctors and trailers for films like Click.
Doctors : The song was featured in season 11, episode 106 of the soap opera.
Trailers: It has frequently been used in trailers for films like Click (2006) and How Do You Know (2010).
The Newsroom : A cover version was used over the end credits of season 2.
Other Media: The song has also appeared in other commercials and series.

Dom

Going on and on won't change the basic facts that I presented to you.
You live in a bubble that you have constructed.

And you still have not learned that you know nothing.

It's fun spanking you all over the place.

Just another case of me owning your little attempts at significance.

This reminds me of when Sadam declared himself victor in the Gulf War.
Unlike yourself, at least he did have an army.
All you have is a bad attitude with delusions to match.

lol

Oh man he kills songs , He used to glue callouses back on from playing so much , Texas working man

I had the honor of seeing him live in NYC at the pier. He was double billed with Greg Allman, who had just released im no angel... Great song.

Funny story I saw Greg Allman entering in a car behind the stage, out comes this young hot chick with a leather tiger miniskirt...no wonder he was married 9 times

This was late 80's.

Stevie played blues completely his own way, Texas blues...those Texas shuffles in there.

But he would tell you he stole most of his licks from Hendrix and Albert king.

One of the cleanest blues players I've ever heard though

Oh I'm mistaken, the picture looked like Stevie Ray. This guy ain't Stevie but not bad

This guitarist started popping up in my YT feed. He does stylistic interpretations about what various artists might sound like playing various songs.
He can do it convincingly.

[quote=Sunset Poet][/quoye


Probably the best song ever written , He's no Stevie

When I hear a band like this, so different, do unique so well recorded and produced and well performed.

It makes me think ai still far behind humans . Heard this today

htt

Sorry the band is called Cake
