Bad Songs by Good Bands: No. 19

'Who Are You?'
--The Who (1978)

No, a flock of barn owls didn't escape into a recording studio. This title track was evidently hatched when Pete Townshend was double-dared into seeing how many times he can make Roger Daltrey say the band's name in the song's 6 minutes and 16 seconds. Let's just say it reaches triple digits. And those of you who thought you'd get off easy with the single-version "edit" -- that goes on for 5:06.

this is a great song, and they are NOT saying the bands name, unless the name is ''who are you'' instead of ''The Who''?? whoever wrote this article obviously has not idea what he/she is talking about....

OK, I gave you a pass on the Blondie song, because even though I personally like it, I can see how it could get on some peoples' nerves. But come the hell on, man! This is a great song. Pull the freakin' wax out of your ears.
