Well....I hope you're all well rested after all the excitement of that previous round, because following a brief interlude the time has come to throw yourselves back into the game with wild abandon.... Review Number 16
Without a doubt the most dynamic single release by anyone so far this year. The Who just seem to get better and better and obviously their self-imposed sabbatical has enabled them to recharge collectively their creative batteries.
With Mooney and the Ox literally thrashing out an almost maniacal rythm pattern, layer upon layer of rasping bass builds up a skyscraper of sound against which Townshend lacerates his Gibson guitar and Daltrey screams his titanium longs hoarse.
I'd be splitting hairs trying to determine the best singles band, the Stones or the Who. So why bother, just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

The comment comparing "the Stones or the Who" as competing singles bands makes me think of the 60's. However, the sabbatical line really feels like 1977 so i'm gonna guess "Who Are You" based on that.
And the description of it fits!

OK Next! And if anyone gets this with their first guess I'll be seriously shocked.....shocked enough to double the size of the prize. Review Number 17
Clever lyrics, appealing but hard-hitting way of selling them, and the usual Who instrumental brash crashing. An obvious hit - and already well plugged on TV. Flip is well-varied but doesn't have the same immediate impact. Top-deck is marked by ferociously biting phrasing and strong beat.
