Cool - may have to buy those... Our high school band The Raven Blue took a crack at the first 7 or 8 songs on the Greatest Hits album. Some with more success than others... some of them I recall we did quite well with: Can't Explain Pictures of Lily The Kids Are Alright Substitute
In the pre-Web days it was a big challenge to find any chords, and we couldn't see what they were doing (ala youtube) but had to discern it all from multiple listenings to the albums. Sometimes on the drums there was so much happening I couldn't begin to figure it out. The fact that Terry Kenakin had an excellent ear to de-construct the songs then reverse engineer them for us was the key to our "success." ;-)
Upon listening to Tommy for the first time I recall how exciting and new it was to realize that a longer story/theme could be carried across an entire (double!) album like this with Rock Music. Very cool:
