Rock Title Top Ten: Long Live Rock (#5)

Tweet

Howdy from my favorite booth at Chuy’s! Yes, I’m home after a wonderful drive along Route 66 in Illinois from Joliet to Springfield. More to tell you about, but there’s music, too! Here’s another obvious selection on the list of songs paying tribute to rock and roll in their title. Gee, who didn’t see this one coming…. #5: Long Live Rock - The Who Yes, I am very predictable. I definitely won’t forget The Who on this list! I love songs where Pete and Roger sang co-lead, and this is one of them. “Baba O’Riley” is another one (Pete sings the “don’t cry, don’t raise your eyes”) line). Pete opens the singing here, then Roger takes over. I love bands with more than one lead singer. And I love The Who. Long live rock!
