When you here the sound a coming
Hear the drummers drumming
I want you to join together with the band
We don't move in any particular direction
And we don't make no collections
I want you to join together with the band
Do you really think I care
What you mean or what you wear
I want you to join together with the band
There's a million ways to last
And every one's a path
Come on and join together with the band
Join together, I want you to join together
Come on and join together with the band
We need you to join together, join together
Join together with the band
You don't have to play
You can follow or lead the way
I want you to join together with the band
We don't know where we're going
But the season's right for knowing
I want you to join together with the band
It's the singer not the song
That makes the music move along
I want you to join together with the band
This is the biggest band you'll find
It's as deep as it is wide
Come on and join together with the band
Join together, join together
Join together with the band
We need you to join together, join together
Join together with the band

Which can also be formulated thusly: Each listener perceives that the band they most object to is played more often than other bands, regardless of the number of actual plays of that band. If you follow the Now Playing lists as closely as I have for the past four years, I believe you will find that Radiohead is far and away the most played artist here. When In Rainbows came out I did keep track —— there was seldom a six hour block that didn't have at least one RH, um, piece, sometimes two. Ugh. I would also guess that the next most plays go to Pink Floyd, Dylan, Talking Heads/David Byrne, The Beatles/Lennon, and Porcupine Tree, although maybe not in that order. While I'm here, I think this tune is one from a long list of The Who's classics. |
| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Oct 21, 2010 - 07:42 Keith Moon. Wayward drumming at its best. I don't know about you but I can see him now in my minds eye, being a loon and having a great time. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Sep 19, 2010 - 14:49 I remember when I first heard this song - I was still in high school, which accounts for why I didn't think it was particularly profound, or even very good, at the time. I love the song now, and I'm glad I finally grew up and learned to appreciate a more diverse soundset. I guess with age comes the whole "not-letting-things-fly-under-your-radar" concept. But I still don't understand Emo Phillips...  |

When you can make throw aways that sound THIS good, I'll start paying attention to you. I agree. The Who were a rock band but not a traditional one. Going off on a tangent was part of their attraction for me. It didn't always work but I think it does here. |

Here I thought I was going crazy hearing that tedious poseur Nick Cave so often, while others complain about bands I like that don't seem to be overplayed... Your law is the prime directive of RP.  |

Some Girls was completely excellent, but unless I pull that one out and dust it off, the Stones in my opinion just don't get my blood pumping to their songs anymore, whether old or new...Whereas The Who never failed/ fail to get me moving, even shouting. "LONG LIVE ROCK -- be it dead or alive!" These words you speak are true words. The WHO ROCKS!!! |

| crinky (New England) | Posted: Jul 09, 2007 - 07:59 I'm a big Who fan but I'd rather hear one of their songs that doesn't get so much air play...maybe something from "The Who Sell Out" or "Live At Leeds" would be nice. |

Unfortunately, they played at excessively high volume. I saw them @ Dade County College , Fla. in 1971. They were playing in a gymnasium and the sound was purely awful, way, way too loud, even for me and my dorm mates who liked loud music. We left the show early, along with quite a few other fans. We were all wondering why in the name of God would these guys want to assault an audience with pure sonic noise. After all, they were one of the top bands in the world with tons of musical talent. It just didn't make any sense. I'm still pissed about having to leave that show. Today, you can buy soft foam ear plug/protection to filter out distortion and attenuate volume. Back then you had to jam you fingers in your ears just to catch a few moments actual music. |

Maybe you need to find yourself a dictionary and look up the meaning of eclectic. You may be surprised. |

PsycoGenus listens to "classic rock" stations so he can fume negativity alone...interesting way to "get off" if you ask me. |
