Johnny Marr Loves The Who

Mojo Magazine recently posted its Top 50 Who songs--a jumble of choices daring ("Dogs" is on there), dopey (so is their cover of "Heat Wave, which at #30, ranks above such masterpieces as "Amazing Journey","Rael", "Naked Eye", "Happy Jack", and "A Quick One While He's Away"!), and dull (the top ten reads like the track listing of a budget Greatest Hits compilation). However, one really worthwhile thing came of this feature: Johnny Marr wrote the introduction to the print article and Mojo's online site features an interview with the former Smith in which the greatest guitarist to debut in the eighties totally swoons over the greatest guitarist to debut in the sixties. It's quite charming and you can read it here.
