I really like Pete Townsend's songwriting. Listen to 'Street in the City' from the CD 'Rough Mix' w. Ronnie Lane.

I think that his rock opera "The Iron Man" with John Lee Hooker as the "Iron Man" was brilliant. I also really liked "Psychoderelict".

Pete Townsend was the principal song writer for the 'Who' and probably one of the greatest rock guitarists to play in any era.

Pete can be too wordy at times - lyricosis(?) - but it's worth it for the gems he occassionally produces.

Tommy beget Quadrophenia beget Who's Next, which eventually beget the stillborn post-Keith works.

Even DaVinci and Michelangelo produced a few bombs.

hideous

over the top and over-produced, IMHO

Bruce Springsteen? Is that you?

I'm sorry - this just doesn't sound quite so incredibly profound to me. A bad take on PG?

LOVE THIS. (Like Slit Skirts even better, but...) Lyrics that send the chill down and the blood up!
It doesn't get much deeper than THIS!
A man just can't jam much consistently harder than Pete did, either -- THANKS!

nothing profound or witty .. i just like this song .. a lot of it is a nostalgia thing for me ..
