Uh-oh, you’re thinking. Something is wrong if these guys are this comparatively low on the chart. Nope, nothing wrong. At least they are here. And it’s time for yet another song you probably thought of immediately when I said “songs with ‘fool’ in the title.” Rock on! #7: Won’t Get Fooled Again - The Who This harkens back to a discussion JJ and I had a few songs ago: some bands have the as part of their name, and others don’t. So, who arbitrarily made the decision as to when we’d use it? You say “I love that song by the Eagles,” even though the band’s name is just “Eagles;” however, you do NOT say, “I love that song by the Supertramp.” Or, you could say, “I’m going to get that new Eagles album,” but you don’t say, “I’m going to get that new The Who album.” Why? Well, because neither band has released a new album in eons. Enough. You know this song, thanks to classic rock stations and the classic status of Who’s Next. Enjoy this mighty rocker again!
