Roger Daltrey was born on this date in 1944.

What are your favorite songs by The Who?

My favorite Daltrey story is from the early days of The Who, when Pete Townshend and the other band members wanted to kick Daltrey out of the band after he got into a fight with Keith Moon. The record company told Townshend in no uncertain terms that Daltrey would remain as the band's front man, due to the fact that he was good-looking...and Townshend, well, not so much.
 
That's a cool story, Daltrey is also about 100x better at singing than Towenshend.

My Favorite album is Quadrophenia, and my favorite song off it is Reign O'er me.
 
Because it's Roger's Birthday, I'll just do songs from him and not the Who.
