I wish I could get more excited about it.  Their appearance on the Super Bowl half time show a few years back was almost comical.

I saw them in Dallass in ’83 several years after Moonie was gone.  I wish I could have seen the original line up, though they didn’t exactly suck when Kenny Jones was on the drums, just not the level of insanity Wink

Meh. Never been a fan. But of course I didn't really care for the Beatles or The Doors either.

Were you even born when Keith Moon was the world's greatest drummer?

I'm more of a Neil Peart, Carmine Appice, Cozy Powell, Ainsley Dunbar kind of listener. When it comes to drummers. Just the Who's overall music didn't appeal to me.
Never did get into the 50s and 60s Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Doo Whop, Doo Whop, type of sound. And yes I know with the bands like The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. The sound changed with the numorous psychedelic additives of the time. But in my opinion. Zepp and Floyd was the best of those four in changing their sound. So yes, I was alive and young but still had good taste in music as I do today.
I also was a D.J. at the Superfox 103.3 in the late 70s.

“Rice-A-Roni” never occurred to you? Wink

When I worked in the media in the early 1990’s I got to know a lot of the radio personalities.  No wonder some had radio names!
