Wow what a review! Victor = Lyamies = Birbabirba = MAR1973? I think so, and you’ve literally annoyed the hell out of us. If the answer is no, take better care in your next review.

@London: yes, it’s an "Archives Vol.2," a really well-made box set (even though, as you rightly say, those two songs are missing)... it’s worth noting that many tracks excluded from the official albums are superior to some episodes of the albums themselves. Just one example... "Naminamu" and "Submarine" could easily replace the incredibly weak "Who Dunnit?" and "Like It Or Not" on "Abacab"... and so on. - @Joe: I own "Genesis Revisited," and I confirm that it’s an excellent album: very high-class reimaginings, as can already be seen from the opening of "Watcher Of The Skies"... and what can I say about the tour ("Tokyo Tapes")? Simply fantastic, with guests like John Wetton and Ian McDonald... absolutely a must-have!

It seems quite interesting... I should state that I won’t watch the “Invisible Touch” videos anymore: they are so well-known by now that they could have just skipped them. The ones for “Genesis” are just as famous, but at least they are enjoyable. I’m very interested in the footage from '76, the period of the release of the wonderful “A Trick Of The Tail”… since I’ve never seen it! “Jesus He Knows Me” and “Many Too Many” also seem interesting. But is there nothing from “Wind & Wuthering”?

From '76, the song "It's Yourself" is also splendid (which is a B-Side of "Ripples", but never added to "A Trick Of The Tail")... the dreamy and hypnotic melody, based on "Los Endos", is truly something spectacular. Has anyone else ever listened to it? Just to know what they think...

Excellent! It must have been something simply splendid... a curiosity: are Waters and Doyle the only ones alternating on vocals? Specifically, who sang "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Have A Cigar," and "Comfortably Numb"? - Great review.

Unfortunately, neither do I, Beat...! :-)

Thank you guys for the votes. Sorry for the typing mistake in the first lines (<portaglio> instead of <portafoglio>): I sent a message to the editors... I hope they correct it - getting back to the conversation, I agree with London in saying that "Wind & Wuthering" is deserving. Slightly below "A Trick Of The Tail," but very good. dEDOLUZ, I would also recommend "Duke"... it's more oriented towards pop but features two interesting mini-suites ("Behind The Lines/Duchess/Guide Vocal" and "Duke's Travel/Duke's End") and high-quality tracks, like "Heathaze," for example.

We're just missing the fact that they're going to publish them.

Great catch! I only own "Big Bam Boom" and "Ooh Yeah" from the duo, and in general, I know the big hits they had in the '80s. I knew their career had already been going for about a decade... but I never bought any of their work from the '70s. From how you talk about it, though, it seems like it’s time for me to get moving. Congrats on the review!

I can only agree with Silian. The two remaining Who are still quite lively... moreover, they've released quite a few albums, all of high quality (even the two without Moon aren't bad, especially "It's Hard"). If we compare them to Guns, the comparison doesn't hold (in fact, it seems almost ridiculous to make it): three albums... one good, on the second you can save 5 songs out of 32, and the third is a cover album, so it doesn't count. Moreover, making high-quality rock is very different from producing banal (though sometimes enjoyable) street metal. Furthermore, the Who can boast three concept albums: "Sell Out," "Tommy," and "Quadrophenia"... do the Guns even know what a concept is? I don't think so... considering they haven't managed to put together a normal album for 13 years! - In conclusion: I don't want to tear down the Guns, because they have done some good things; in fact, I enjoy listening to "Appetite..." but we must acknowledge that they are absolutely zero, both in terms of songwriting and technical ability, compared to the Who. I hope you aren't someone's fake account, or just a simple provocateur... because DeBaser is already full of such people, and we certainly don't need one more.
