With the chords I'm playing
I can't pretend there's any meaning here
Or in the things I'm saying
But I'm in tune
Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you
Right in on you
Right in on you
I get a little tired of having to say
"Do you come here often?"
But when I look in your eyes and see the harmonies
And the heartaches soften
I'm getting in tune
Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you (right in on you)
Right in on you (right in on you)
Right in on you
I've got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just bangin' on my old piano
I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
Yeah, I'm getting in tune to the straight and narrow
(Getting in tune to the straight and narrow)
I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well
With the way I'm feeling
There's a symphony that I hear in your heart
Sets my head a-reeling
But I'm in tune
Right in tune
I'm in tune
And I'm gonna tune
Right in on you (right in on you)
Right in on you (right in on you)
Right in on you
Baby, with you
Baby, with you
Baby, with you
Baby, with you
Baby, with you
I've got it all here in my head
There's nothing more needs to be said
I'm just bangin' on my old piano
I'm getting in tune with the straight and narrow
Getting in tune to the straight and narrow (repeat)
What is wrong with ignoring someone?
I mean, in the context of musical selections and opinions.
How did the Producer ever think this pile of cacophony would be enjoyed by their listeners?
Smokin their own PR Maybe?
Not sure what their thinking was but I like it!
Smokin their own PR Maybe?
Just to state the obvious: I'm listening to RP for the sole reason of being open to new music. RP is maybe the only place I have yet found, where I can hear music I haven't heard before, that doesn't immediately cause my ears to bleed and my teeth to fall out. And that includes some of that tired old classics I never bothered to listen to.
That said, sometimes even I get the feeling that there's a lot of Pink Floyd being played here ;-)
Oddly, I have been listening to RP for several days, and I have not heard one Pink Floyd tune. That's not necessarily a problem, but I wonder how others feel there is too much Floyd. IMHO... that is not possible.
Yes! And I thought I was the only one!
Look for a new film by Roddy Bogawa titled: "Taken by Storm: The Art Of Storm Thorgerson"

Is. Awesome.
You must be new here.
Bill does a GREAT job of mixing classic with new, familiar with fresh. I've discovered boatloads of new artists and new songs - and deep, deep tracks from established acts - here on RP.And, um, YES. RP listeners are open to new music. I feel stupid even having to say that.
Friend:."okay"
Me:."but no Who"
.
this song brings back memories
'''Fantastic''!!yeah, the album cover looks really derivative. However this is about the best WHO song I've heard.....fresh still (to me)
Derivative of which other album cover exactly?
The Ox was arguably one of rocks best bassist. There is a reason he always stood off the the side while the rest of them trashed the stage.
I can piss in tune, in June, under the moon, straight and narrow against the cold grey concrete of your new religion.
Oh well a lost opportunity.
From one of the finest albums ever made.
now we're getting somewhere.. 
bump
gettin in tune to the straight and narrow....
Do you remember Stanley Kubrick's Space Odyssey?
next to take a leak ?yeah, the album cover looks really derivative. However this is about the best WHO song I've heard.....fresh still (to me)

A quick look at Fred's lowest rated tunes reveals a dozen GREAT SONGS BY SOME OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS EVER
i suggest anyone planning to reply to Fred take a look. Then we can all ignore him because he clearly lives in a different world than we do. Here's a VERY SMALL sample of Fred's pans:
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!
Plenty of room for everyone here. De gustibus non disputandum est, baby.
Personally, I find this song kinda dated and labored now. Maybe it's that 34th beer.
kcar, this is a pretty funny post. I like it a lot. You have made some fairly stunning accusations about me on other songs. You have been stalking me around the comment board for many months now, accused me of "picking fights" accused me of logging in with multiple screen names to "stimulate discussion" as if that were some sort of criminal activity. I certainly agree logging in under multiple screen names, passing your self off as someone who you are not, is a pathological behavior that must be condemned. But I must ask you, what exactly is the offense in "stimulating discussion" on an Internet comment board about music. Are we supposed to come here and not discuss? Are we supposed to come to the comment board and stare at blank white spaces?
next to take a leak ?So embarrassing to do that right smack in the middle of the office. Heh!

Just one of those timeless tunes that echo down the halls of eternity. I'm glad to be in this one.

To ignore a regular commenter because he/she doesn't like the same songs you do is rather egotistical, don't you think? Yes, Fred has his own opinions about songs, and that's why I appreciate reading them. When he hates a song that I love, I don't ignore him for it! Give me a little time, and I'll probably ridicule YOU about your "1" choices - but I won't ignore you. I feel your comment was small-minded and incredibly self-centered - as if we should all let YOU dictate whether or not we like a song, or even Fredriley's opinion of it.
Get over yourself - you are not the be-all and end-all of choice here. Neither am I. Neither is Fred. Neither is any one person here. Personally, apart from a few of his choices, I tend to agree with Fred's opinions, although I probably wouldn't have given them a "1." Now - let's move right along, because there are actual TROLLS out there who need bashing. Bigger picture.... know what I mean?

Wow... now there's an indictment. The Nottingham Jury is a kangaroo court!!
Only a 9 for Zep's "Rain Song"? Shame on you. Don't duck - it's a show of weakness. The Who are an area of weirdness - they inspire greatness and they create havoc. In between, their music makes sane people go over the Western slopes and change political affiliations. Don't worry. Your "bleh!" will be someone else's "YEAH!"
And I am sounding just like Stingray, I fear. Pay no attention to the person behind the curtain.
When it came out, this album literally changed the course of my music listening life, which changed me as a person. Thankfully.
I guess I should have checked 'Wikipedia' before I posted the Q.
From Wikipedia:
Cover art
The album cover shows a photograph, taken at Easington Colliery, of the band apparently having just urinated on a large concrete piling protruding from a slag heap. According to photographer Ethan A. Russell, most of the members were unable to urinate, so rainwater was tipped from an empty film canister to achieve the desired effect. The photograph is often seen to be a reference to the monolith discovered on the moon in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had been released only about three years earlier.<4> Director Stanley Kubrick had declined to direct the film version of their earlier rock opera Tommy (1975); though the film didn't materialize until the mid-1970s, it existed as a plan, and was ultimately directed by Ken Russell. In 2003, the United States cable television channel VH1 named Who's Next's front cover the second greatest album cover of all time.
An earlier cover design had featured photographs of obese nude women and has been published elsewhere, but never actually appeared on the album. An alternate cover featured drummer Keith Moon dressed in black lingerie, holding a rope whip, and wearing a brown wig. Some of the photographs taken during these sessions were later used as part of Decca's United States promotion of the album.<5>

For those who may be curious, VH1 rated the greatest album cover to be The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers."
Does anyone have any idea?

This entire song is ripe full of great bass lines.
...he "jam" in the outro is pretty fun too
John Entwhistle said that the producer never really captured his bass sound rolling of the high end growl that he is know for live on this album. The bass lines are fabulous however. I guess you could call them lyrical.
I'm just glad my time came now, because right now, all I have apart from this wonderful music is a small bottle of geranium/peppermint essence that's supposed to help my inner knowledge, peace of mind, and calming. At this point, if it could stop me from shaking, I'd be the baddest pirate on the ship.
Fred, Fred, Fred... just let it go. This hatred you have for the Who is clearly eating you alive.

Jesus-jumped-up-Christ, can't you just enjoy a perfect song?
Still in my Top 10 albums all-timeDon't have to repeat it soooooooooooo many times at the end.
