Those two I also really like but after "Who's Next" I thought the output of the Who steadily declined. The band settled into a formulaic hard rocking groove that lacked the joyful exuberance that their earlier work exuded.

Don't despair. There are others in our proud fraternity.

Fleetwood Mac Poll

Baba O'Reilly is most certainly The Who's best song

Wow, I can't believe only one person has mentioned the Small Faces. I put them right up there with any of the 'second tier' British Invasion bands (after the Beatles & Stones, of course). If you're a fan of the Who during their 'Mod' years, or the Kinks, Zombies, Hollies, etc., trust me, you'll like the Small Faces.

My top 15 British Invasion list goes like this:

1. Beatles
2. Rolling Stones
3. Who
4. Kinks (their original Bassist, Peter Quaife, just died yesterday)
5. Yardbirds
6. Small Faces
7. Cream
8. Zombies
9. Animals
10. Hollies
11. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
12. Spencer Davis Group
13. Donovan
14. Searchers
15. Dusty Springfield

For me, the British Invasion ends when Led Zeppelin began...I love Zep, but that was the start of a whole different era in my book.

Glad you like my list Flower. I forgot about the Animals, had to add them in, so I changed it to my top 15.
