I agree with mainman99987! Just enjoy the song as these two sung it on that special day.Anyone who isn't touched by the emotion in their voices just doesn't get it!

Fuck everybody's internet animosity. Why not just enjoy this rendition of an amazing song (that is amplified by the fact that these guys have had decades more of life to 'feel' what they are singing about?)

Why are people arguing about great musicians? It's as if you were arguing colors. In reality they are the same but the have different styles.

Of course I've heard of The VU. I own every one of their albums, just as I own every album by The Who or Pete Townshend. I wouldn't be making a judgement if I didn't. The VU have some great music but the whole Andy Warhol association makes it a lot more popular than it deserves to be.

Not that I'm saying Townshend is bad, but have you ever heard of Velvet Underground and Nico?

Thunderfinger2 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

Get a grip people! Reed was good but who in their right minds could possibly compare him to Townshend? Townshend owns him as a songwriter, guitarist, lyricist and an artist. And no one who has ever listened to something like 'Quadrophenia' in its entirety could dispute that. Just read the fucking Libretto of Quadrophenia. It would be good enough on its own without the music but the music is just as good.

Both Townsend and Reed did not embrace the hippie culture, that is well known. Now, I do not care to venture how many Who and Velvet fans care for the Grateful Dead, and the rest of the hippie culture, but it is damn funny how deadheads appreciate all if it... Linger on everyone.

i dont get yr argument...lets face it, this is a piss poor version of one of the greatest songs EVER,and now these two old cunts think that by doing a,slow dull witted wet-arsed version will make them somehow hip again,i dont get it

Compared to Lou Reed Townshend is a talentless songwriter & philosophically boring ? HAHAHA . yeah right Lou , keep dreaming luv.

Your right deniroinmeanstreets ,at least YOU know some of the facts about Townshend. Oh yeah, and at least Townshend can sing.
