No.177: “A Quick One” by The Who (1966)Swiftly moving away from their r’n’b roots, The Who still kept some of that intact but were now heading towards a more full-on rock design. The conceptual title song was used in the Rolling Stones’ stage compilation ‘Rock And Roll Circus’, whilst ‘Boris The Spider’ showed off John Entwhistle’s incomparable talent as the world’s greatest bass guitarist.

The top Stones album is Top 70, there you go. I think you'll be pleased with my choice of that one. The other remaining album should appear in the next few days, depending on when I get here.
I've already got the next six albums ready to post for tomorrow but then there may be a bit of a gap until the weekend. Must get out more

There were monster hits too on this (‘Uptown Girl’, ‘Tell her About It’ - you've seen both those vids time and time again), but also some brilliantly well-observed songs of life such as the three tracks below. An irresistible record without a bad song on it.

Actually, there is another Jim Steinman project coming up very soon. Bet you can't guess what that one might be? Clue: It isn't by meat Loaf....

Just trying to get some sun. I managed half an hour, now it's time to get sorted for work again
I have got quite a few albums of the next batch ready, but they take time to post and edit, so it's finding the time to do it. Hopefully late tomorrow night if I'm lucky!
