Tornado of Souls, nah, Wild Thing, nah, I need to listen to that Wings of Steel thingy, The Width of a Circle isn't that great, same with Pinball Wizard, I can't remember No Quarter off the top of my head.

Lay Down is a yes though woohoo

As The Who riffs go, I've yet to hear ones as good as I'm Free or The Seeker, and I think we can get better than those.

If someone can prove me wrong, please do.
