Hey again! For me the only version of Psychoderelict to own is the music only version. Hehe! I'm kind of upset that Pete hasn't given us any solo material for a while. I'm sure plenty in the archives! I appreciate you sharing your memory of that concert from 93 or 94! Rock on.

@@TheOmahaIntrovert I think his demo compilation series called sccop has some great songs on them

It's quite the moving listen. Pete really is an emotive singer. Very underrated as a solo artist! Hope to have you visit my channel again!

It actually got a positive review in NME, which generally hated anything to do with "dinosaur rock" at the time. "The Sea Refuses No River" is one of my all time fave songs by anybody, ever.

Yep, you definitely can't go wrong with Empty Glass. It was kind of hard ranking these! I agree with your statement about "Let My Love Open the Door" as well. :-) Thanks for watching. Peace! ~Hanna

Yay, another big Who fan! It was very hard to rank Pete's albums, because I do like most of what he's done! The Scoop sets are really nice to have. Love hearing Pete's demos... Peace! ~Hanna

Rough Mix is one of my favorite albums, ever.

Don't Try to Make Me Real has such strong hooks. Love that song! An all-around star indeed! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'd love to get that audio version. Pete has lived quite the life!

"Somebody Saved Me" and "Slit Skirts" are arguably the best tandem ending for an album besides "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse".

White City is a good choice. Crashing By Design is my favorite track off there, I think. Several good songs off it, though! Yes, live at Fillmore East 1968 just came out. Don't know if I'll buy it or not. Yes, play Give Blood! Haha. Thanks for watching! ~Hanna

Thanks so much, from one Pete Townshend fan to another! Still my favorite artist of all time.

Love that Pure and Easy is also your favorite Pete song! What a masterpiece. Cheers!

I do love the Scoop albums as well, but I wasn't including any compilation or live albums in this particular video. The demos from Pete are just fantastic, aren't they?! And you were lucky to see him live in the 90s. I never understood why he didn't continue touring solo...I would have paid to see him many times. Thanks for watching! ~Hanna

Yay, I'm so thankful there is another Pete fan around! I love Pete's Scoop offerings. I have the first two Scoops on vinyl so far. :-) "Unused Piano" always moves me so much and "I Like it the Way It Is."

Awesome that you also love the Chinese Eyes album! It's a masterpiece! Stay tuned for my Who album ranking video soon. The Who are my favorite band of all time! :-) Thanks for watching and love that you're a Pete fan as well! ~Hanna

The Omaha Introvert I tell people that I wouldn't be a songwriter if it weren't for Pete. TB

Awesome! He truly is my #1 songwriter and guitarist. I also prefer his voice over Roger's sometimes. ~Hanna

same

Oh yes, I love Deep End. Pete's performance is superb. I fully agree with everything you said! Thanks for watching! Cheers!

High five! Not too many people agree with me on that one, so kudos! Peace.

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Personally, I'd still put Empty Glass at the top of my list. But Chinese Eyes would be next. And The Sea Refuses No River might be my favorite Pete solo song. Aside from the plaintively humbling every everyman of the lyrics, (and maybe this is bias from being a drummer), Simon Phillips really knocks it out of the park. His playing is sooo fluid. Those tom hits, the hat play... perfection. And I do think Chinese Eyes is hands down the best sounding Pete record. It's sonically gorgeous, you know? White City is still great (Give Blood!), but the production feels a bit too 80s at times. Whereas Chinese Eyes only leans on the compressor just enough to make it all present while still retaining the dynamics. I found my way to the record back in the day after hearing Slit Skirts, which I still love. And like you mentioned, Somebody Saved me is another standout. I also always liked Stop Hurting People and Exquisitely Bored. And Face Dances Pt 2 is a solid pop styled gem. Thanks for doing the video. Keep on keepin'. I was watching some ranking videos and thought, Pete Townshend! Your's was the first one that popped up. Maybe the only one(?). Anyway, it made my night of trolling KZfaq in the time of the plague. You rock!

The original CD pressing is an excellent sounding disc, imo. A later reissue did add a very good bonus track, Vivienne.

Hi Brian! Thanks for checking out this older video from me! Oh, I have those first 2 Scoop albums on vinyl. Amazing demos. Plus I have the Quadrophenia 10" vinyl demos from Pete. I need to get the 3rd Scoop. It's harder to find on vinyl...and more expensive. Peace.

The Omaha Introvert thanks. Yes long time vinyl collector here. I know that one is hard to track down.

I think I can listen to Crashing by Design over and over again. Just something about it. Pure and Easy is definitely my #1 Who song as well. So well written and the music is brilliant! Side note about Sinatra's Strangers in the Night...one I return back to quite often. Glad you're catching my older videos! Thank you, John!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert You are most welcome !

Yay! All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Fans unite! It's a masterpiece album. I even like the cheesier songs from it! :-) Thanks for watching!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Ditto. Ha. Anytime. :)

Wow, I just realized this vid is 5 yrs old! Sorry for being so late to the party.

Thank you, Josue! Glad you are a Pete Townshend fan as well! I think I know the whole Chinese Eyes album by heart now at this point, too! Such a gem! I dig your request for ranking Elvis Costello's solo material from the 70s-80s. I may be missing some, though. I will do a run-through of what I have! Cheers!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert I remember an old interview where Roger Daltrey complained about the songs from It's Hard, released also in 1982. He said that Townshend kept the best songs for his solo album. And I agree.

What a quote, right? I'm always enamored with Pete, whether it be his words or musical talent. GENIUS!

I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel. thank you so much for the kind words!

Great picks, Mariana. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

You are awesome, Robert!

I like your top 3 Pete solo album ranking, nice! I think I'll play Rough Mix next week. I haven't pulled it in a while and it's a fabulous one to revisit. RIP Ronnie!

Thanks, Dean! Yeah, the Lifehouse Chronicles box set is definitely a wishlist item! For now I have to settle listening to what's on KZfaq! Oh yeah, Pete was huge into Meher Baba in the late 60s/early 70s that I know of. There are some good tracks on those other spiritually-based albums that weren't widely distributed. Thanks for the kind words as always, Dean! :-) Peace. ~Hanna

Hi Tanya! Thanks so much for watching this older video of mine. Pete is still my #1 favorite songwriter and guitarist of all time! I just wish he did more solo stuff post 1980s, ya know? He's really focused on The Who the past 20 years, which is fine, but I feel like he also needs to showcase more of his talent as a solo artist! Yes, his book is really incredible! Glad you have Apple Music! That's where I do most of my sampling and streaming, too! Cheers!

You bet, Matt! I hope I inspired you to check out some of his stuff! :-) Peace. ~Hanna

Well, I'm glad I was the one to remind you about Pete's solo albums. What's your favorite 60s album by them? I'm in love with the Who Sell Out and Tommy! Yeah, I was very surprised to not see many Who namedrops in the VC! Thanks for watching. Peace. ~Hanna

My favourite Who album would be Sell Out and then My Generation and A Quick One on second place :-) Thanks again for putting the spotlight and Pete Townshend. He really was an extraordinary and talented songwriter and a quite competent guitar player as well. Moon is of course on my top 5 list of all time favourite drummers.

Yes! Moon is in my top 3 drummers. :-) Good picks on your favorite 60s Who albums!

Thank you so much! Always a joy to connect with other Pete Townshend fans like myself! I'll revisit Iron Man. It's been a few years. Rough Lane is such a gem of an album. Thanks so much for your comment! Cheers!

You're absolutely right about Sinatra. I even just bought a few more of his albums today. Couldn't resist! Peace. ~Hanna

The Omaha Introvert my turntable is on the fritz RRRRRRRRRR ;,( Going to attempt to fix it myself

Oh crap!!!! I certainly hope you can fix it ASAP so you can get back to listening to all your fabulous records!

Hi Mike! So glad that All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes is also your first pick! Absolutely brilliant! Cheers!

This was a very kind and thoughtful comment, Ward! Thank you for sharing your mutual love of Pete and the Who! I'm excited because I really enjoy their new album upon first listen. I also just recently got the deluxe CD edition of Who Sell Out which I'm thrilled to have tracked down! Pete's lyrics and melodies really move me and speak to me in a way other artists cannot. Pete = a true genius and virtuoso. Long live rock!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Here's another one from Quad that has stuck with my maleness for 30 years. I pick up the phone to hear my history I dream of all the calls I missed I tried to number those who love me And find exactly what the trouble is Is it in my head, or here in my heart

Some of Pete's best writing in on Quad! Love that one.

I will work on that Who album ranking for the future. :) I will go from worst to best! Glad to see another big Who fan. Yes, Pete's songwriting is on a much higher level than everyone else... Yes! It is a very awkward thing to film yourself and talk to your phone. I'm not sure I'll ever be 100% comfortable with it, but I hope I can loosen up a little more and be more myself in time. I feel a little tense when I film the videos. Haha! Thanks so much for commenting and watching. :-) Peace. ~Hanna

Ah-ha, now I remember this comment! I just got your mega-package, Pat! I just did the unboxing video! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Super generous of you and I loved every single thing!!! Wow! I'm blown away!!! Thank you, Pat! :-) :-) :-)

Hey Tim! That's awesome that you agree with my #1 choice. Wasn't sure if my opinion would get frowned upon a lot! I'm definitely checking those videos of yours tomorrow when I catch up on my KZfaq watching. I'm still on the hunt for a good copy of Who Came First, so you're lucky! :-) Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great Saturday night! ~Hanna

Hi Lee! Sorry for the delayed response. Love those lyrics from Sir Pete! Hope you are staying safe as well, my friend. Long live rock!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Pete`s buddy Roger is always deserves a mention. how cool would it be, if he turn-up at your wedding. like he did at this couples wedding. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7ikZMZl3MWodWQ.html stay safe.

No problem with your favorites at all! It’s what keeps the world spinning round! I appreciate your comment, Mike! 😀👍

Hey I ordered an album because of one of your videos, 'Daddy's Highway' by Bats and have another in the shopping cart, 'Or' by Eyelids that I'll likely order. Thank you Hanna for pointing me towards new sounds. I'm going to have to start taking notes. Tough in my old age to remember all the information you are passing out. Listening to 'Control' by Pedro the Lion as I type. Opaque Yellow vinyl!!

Oh I’m so glad you’re getting into the Bats and Eyelids! Two very solid groups! Pedro the Lion are great! Fab tunes! Enjoy!

I love Deep End Live! Pete was on fire for that concert! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad you have some interest in checking Pete's stuff out! :-) Thanks for watching. Have a great Sunday! ~Hanna

Right on! Pete is a master. Thanks for the kind words! ~Hanna

YES! I show a pickup from him in my latest video. So thrilled! :-)

I have all the Scoop collections. I was just focusing on his LPs for this one. Long live Pete!

That's a shame! Geesh! Pete is a genius!

Haha, thanks, Mark! I'll be curious to see if you pick up any of his stuff down the road. ;-) Cheers! ~Hanna

Hi there, Joe! Oh, I didn't know there have been recent colored reissues. How do they sound? I like to hear that Cowboys is also your #1! Cheers!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert petetownshend.net/news/solo-studio-albums-released-on-limited-edition-coloured-vinyl

@@TheOmahaIntrovert They sound great

You're right, My Generation is still very relevant today! Brilliant song. Nope, I'm not going to be rank releases from bands I'm not familiar with. It would take me forever to listen to the catalog and I don't really have that time! Thanks for watching, as always. ~Hanna

Wow, thanks tip about the unlikes in the settings. I had no idea I could do that. I appreciate you sharing. Awesome that you found a good copy of Who Came First! I hope I swayed you to check out his other stuff in the future. :-) Thanks for watching! ~Hanna

Thanks. I'm pretty new and I just hadn't come across any.

Definitely a must have album!

Oh yeah, I can't even keep track of how many Sinatra releases there are. So many! He kept very busy! Awesome that you inherited 30 LPs of his from your dad! That's quite a stack!

My dad left me about 1000 LPs, 1000 45s, and about 100 CDs. I only took about 700 of the LPs, because some were just stuff I'd never listen to and many were in pretty rough shape. I've gone through and cleaned, sleeved, and cataloged most of the LPs, but doing the same for the 45s is going to be quite a chore. I had about 100+ LPs and 1200 CDs of my own and have bought another 2-300 records since. Finding space to store all of this stuff is turning out to be a nightmare, LOL. www.discogs.com/user/TheAgeOfAnalog/collection

Geeeeesh! Very impressive collection! Yeah, space will soon be a problem for me. I'm bad about putting them in a catalog. Guess I will focus on that next! Peace.

Cool, that's the 3rd or 4th request I've received to do a Who ranking video. I'll work on it. It'll be up in the next month, most likely. Nice on that Live at Leeds remaster. I nearly wore the CD of it out when I was in high school. I'm excited for Live at Fillmore East to come out later this month...but kind of pricey. Should be amazing though. Thanks for watching! Later. ~Hanna

I have the first two Scoop collection albums on vinyl. The third one is a bit harder to track down and pricier! I love "Unused Piano."

@@TheOmahaIntrovert" I don't ever wear no ripped shirts can't pretend that growing older never hurts" . . . What a find....a 60`s outtake on the new Who album. "Got nothing to prove ". it`s so Scoop in its sound. have a groovy Christmas....Lee.... PS ) you seem to love British Music ? do you reckon, you`ve on a little British DNA in your musical soul...…...lol.

I do love British music! From the 60s to the 90s (some of my favorite groups), the Brits know how to do it!

I will work on that! Thanks, Lis!

I remember losing a day's pay to testify for a friend(and a WHO fan) who in self-defense, nearly killed a guy, and has a shnozz like Pete's. we were in a record store after court ,and Jimi (hey, Jim)bought me this LP. I just love it. Pete isn't exactly known for loads of collaboration. rest Ronnie Lane's soul. saw him w/ the FACES, sharing a mic w/ Rod Stewart on 'Maybe I'm amazed'.

Thanks, Paul! Sorry for the delay. I've been record shopping out in the Pacific Northwest. Rough Mix is an excellent album of Pete's...even if that's all one has heard. Thanks for that recommendation of the Sandler Wells album. Much appreciated! Rock on.

That must be a very good memory for you then! Underrated album with some great tracks! Thanks for watching. :-) Peace. ~Hanna

I used to have the VHS! No more!

Hey Lee! I absolutely love that quote from Pete. What an insightful genius, right? Wish I was that smart and good with words!

I just love Pete’s songwriting. 👌

VinylVictimsNiece86 Hi, Amb. I agree! Glad you two found each other. You two represent the newest VC ladies (that I know, anyway). A refreshing welcome!

I'm glad that we did too :) Thanks Jeff for the sweet words! XO

Hey Amberle!!! So awesome to see another chick in the VC. There's very few of us. :-) Thanks for subbing. I will be checking out your videos when I get a chance in the next day. Peace! ~Hanna

IKR!? I can't believe there's not more girls in the VC, but I'm thankful for the chicks that are here! I'm stoked to see more from you and to check out your videos too! XOXO

I actually found Happy Birthday and I Am on vinyl at a record show in Washington last year. Couldn't believe my eyes. Never thought I would stumble upon such gold. They are some of my most treasured pieces in the collection. Take care.

Love it, too!

Haha, I would believe that. Empty Glass does rule! Was so hard for me to rank them, but I was up for my own challenge (lol). Thanks. ~Hanna

Haha, yeah, classic. 'Nuff said! Thanks for watching! :-) ~Hanna

Hey Dean! Thanks for watching this one. Hope you checked out my Who ranking video, too! Cheers!

Pleasure! Great to speak to a fellow Wholigan

Hi Bedros. This video is an older one of mine. I do prefer the Psychoderelict music only version by far! :-)

7:23 Surely it's obvious she was holding up the back cover to the camera with the intention of showing Gilmour's name credit, bottom left. I can't see that she was suggesting in any way that the doleful bloke in the photograph with Townshend is actually Gilmour himself - she ain't that silly. PS. Actually, I have it on good authority that it's Phil Collins' Grandpa 😊

Thanks so much for sticking up for me, Shelley! Sometimes I get negative people around here. Hope all is well and enjoy your week, my friend!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Gosh, I honestly didn't intend to be negative! I'm very sorry if it came across that way. I clearly just misunderstood. Please note the way that I made my point was tentative: I said that I couldn't quite work out if that's what you were suggesting. I now in my turn feel rather unfairly attached by Shelley Lyme. It wasn't obvious to me Shelley, and if it had been, I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Sorry, 'attacked' rather than 'attached'.

Shelley Lyme@ With all due respect, I believe somebody is pulling your leg regarding the identity of the actor pictured with Pete on the inner sleeve of White City, jokingly making reference to Phil Collins for the relative sparseness of his hair...

Just listened to it. I dig it! Interesting favorites list of Pete! That's what makes the world go round! :-) Long live rock! Thanks for watching!

Hi there! VC stands for Vinyl Community! :-)

No. youtube.com/@nazznomad

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Now I wonder which came first? Also, I love your channel, thanks.

Hey there, Tony! Thanks for the request. I'm currently working on my Echo/Teardrop Explodes vinyl collection. I can't seem to find originals of the first two Echo albums in the wild yet. Ocean Rain is my favorite by them. I'm also looking for Kiliminjaro by Teardrop Explodes on vinyl. I have Wilder. :-) Hope you are well and thanks for the interest.

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Happy New Year !!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oh, nice! Thanks for letting me know FlipsideCt is into the Who. I believe I'm already subscribed, but I haven't had time to check out everyone's videos that I'm subscribed to so far. :-) Thanks. ~Hanna

Thanks, Jeff. I'm glad you liked the video. I actually bought a few more Sinatra records today. I couldn't help myself. I'll show them, along with other goodies in the next video. :-) ~Hanna

Excellent! I find the availability of Sinatra records are to both extremes - they`re readily available or scarce. Weird. Look forward to seeing them. Cheers!

Thanks for watching this older video of mine, Todd! It's so great to connect with fellow Pete/Who fans here. He's such an underrated guitarist. He can rock out with the bar chords and shred or get jazzy and intricate with his playing! All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes is still a favorite, but hard to go wrong with his first 3! Cheers!

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Sure, and thank you - IT IS great to connect with fellow fans. I've really dived into my journey of getting into his entire solo-catalog. I really like what you say/write about his guitar playing/styling's, all so true -- I've also always considered him a wonderful piano composer... I saw your comment on "Unused Piano" - checked it out and have become smitten by listening to that track daily - which led me into the 'Scoop' series. That's an exciting place to start being such a goldmine for all the outtakes/demo's/alternate-versions and such . Then I'm kind of going in order and taking on Empty Glass (I'll get to 'Chinese Eyes') I'm blown away by the track "And I Moved" - a lot of commenting on what exactly the lyrics mean - obviously they are about some of the demons he was wrestling with at the time - but to me, lyric's aside - it's one of the most stimulating piece's of music I know in this world, and shows exactly why I knew I should devour his solo work! I'm going to check out some of your other Vid's too, thanks

Yes, and that’s why I did a separate video ranking his albums. 😉👍🏻
