SOPHIE > 100 gecs > Lena Raine

I'm pretty sure I've seen SOPHIE's name pop up as a collaborator on some songs we've covered (maybe from Grimes...maybe Caroline Polachek?), so yeah, lets see what she's about.

Yeah, I'm still not sure how we ended up with the 24-track rock opera Tommy over the more traditionally structured 9-track Who's Next. Even if you prefer Tommy for whatever reason, it's a particularly clunky choice for this game. Meanwhile, Who's Next would have been one of those rare classic albums with a truly contentious race for #1 between Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again (and, in my opinion, one of the rare albums where pretty much every song is great on its own).

No matter that it was nominated, people still voted for it. I'm guessing people saw "The Who" and that was that. Certainly I don't remember anyone mentioning that it was 24 tracks and 75 minutes because that likely would have swayed opinions.
