Great song and the only good thing about their 1982 album It's Hard.

The live video (soundcheck) version of this slams! Pete Townshend is WAILING some funky stuff on the guitar on that version. And John Entwistle is holding it down heavy on the Alembic bass. VH-1 Classics plays this one a lot.

That's the song/video that turned me on to the Who. I wanted a Schecter PT just like the black one Pete Townshend's playing in the video. Jesse Johnson used to play 'em back in the day, too.

I see 'em on ebay every once in a while...

Yeah, this song is bangin'. Surprised no one mentioned how much this song BITES off of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall". The little bridge section sounds like it could really be David Gilmour!

Didn't 3rd Bass sample this song as well on Pop Goes The Weasel? A very funky track from The Who. I also love "Another Tricky Day" by them.

Yeah, I do, but it's no out and out classic like "EF" is. By the way, did you know Athena was originally called "Theresa" and was all about Pete T's unrequited passion for Theresa Russell ...
