Someone once suggested that since 1) The Who are missing a bass player and a drummer and 2) the surviving members of the Beatles are the bass player and the drummer, they should get together and form a new band. I then tried to come up with songs for them to do:
Magic Mystery Tour Bus
Love Reign O'er Me Do
She Loves My Wife
Eleanor Rigby: I'm a Boy
I Wanna Hold Your Seeker
I Can't Explain Yesterday
See Me, Feel Me Here, There and Everywhere
Drive My Car Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere
Come Join Together
Let's See Action When I'm 64
QotD: Add to this list.

I think they should go by "The Bwhotles" (pronounced "bootles").

Re: October 30, 2008
This belongs in the "bands you hate that everyone seems to love" thread, but The Who just never did it for me. I love some of Townshend's solo work, but the rest of the package doesn't belong on the same shelf as The Beatles, though I certainly understand their influence.
In that spirit, the only title that comes to mind is for the album: The Beatles Sell Out.

Re: October 30, 2008
I have a special place in my musical heart for the Who, as theirs was the first LP I ever owned, given to my by my high school girlfriend. Crimson and Clover was my first 45, given to me by my junior high school girlfriend.

Re: October 30, 2008
Hey Spud - Do you have Petra Haden's a cappella version of the Who Sells Out? You might dig that, as if I remember rightly, that was your first LP. Anyway, worth checking out by anyone. She does the entire album, fake commercials and all. Perty neat.
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Re: October 30, 2008
I might have The Who Sells Out on 8-track, but my first LP was Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. I think maybe my girlfriend was hinting as something, I dunno.
