Favorite non Daltrey lead vocals in The WHO

My Wife has always been a favorite of mine....even long before I knew what having a wife was like!

 

Eminence Front
They Are In Love
I'm One
Another Tricky Day

My Wife
Heaven and Hell
When I Was a Boy

 

My favourites are "Odorono" and "Blue Red and Grey"

 

John :

Boris the Spider
Whiskey Man
I've Been Away
Silas Stingy
Doctor Doctor
Heaven And Hell
My Wife
Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde

 

Love this vocal by John-

 

Pete's vocals on "Our Love Was Is" is my favorite, next to "I Can't Reach You".

"Flying, Soaring, Shining"

 

Call me crazy but I rate Pete over Roger. I don't disagree that Roger is (was) a great vocalist; powerful, expressive, and can shout and scream in tune. But I just prefer the honesty that Pete brings to the songs.
Having said that, Keith's singing on Bell Boy is my favorite of all Who lead vocals, from my favorite Who album. Not a bad vocal from anyone on that album.

 

I'm One
Long Live Rock

 

Already mentioned, but I'm One, Song is Over (though Daltrey is on the chorus) Eminence Front

 

I'll go along with "Heaven And Hell"; I love the Live At Leeds version.

 

James Taylor sang Love Reign O'er Me didn't he?

 

Unless I'm going bat-$hit crazy....these two were sung by Daltrey.

 

Always loved Pete's lead vocal on Who's Next Going Mobile.

 

I would agree. Pete's "Empty Glass" album is one of my all time favorites. I would listen to that over any who album.

 

You're not. I somehow got in my mind favorite compositions by Pete. Maybe I'm going bat$hit crazy.

I also think I was thinking of Blue Red and Grey. I'd add However Much I Booze.

 

Honorable mention for the live 1989 performances of "Trick of the Light" with Big Johnny Twinkle on lead vocal.

 

That certainly has the potential to turn into one long bat-$hit crazy thread!

 

Whiskey Man
I Can't Reach You

 

For Pete, its the break in the live version of Baba O'Riley from The Kids Are Alright. He sings it with real gusto. And yes, I know, he was trashed at the time.

John I like everything except Doctor Doctor which gives me a headache.

 

Me too. Especially in the late sixties

 

Roger's great at big, blustery vocals. Pete can sell the more subtle ones better.

 

Oddly, probably most of my favorite Who songs probably aren't sung by Rog the Mog.

Odorono
Dr Jeckll & Mr Hyde
Doctor Doctor
In the City
Sunrise
I Need You
Jaguar
I Can't Reach You

...the list goes on but these are the ones off the top of my head.

 

Song Is Over

 

Here's my choice:
