The Who coming back to Cincinnati

People excited about The Who……another tired Cincinnati favorite whose songs you rarely hear in other cities.

This city is really big on their regional favorites. Jimmy Buffet is another that comes to mind.

(Sorry if I offend, but growing up this always made me cringe.)

Jimmy Buffett (Buffet is a dining option, not a singer.) and the Who: regional favorites? Huh? Buffett is from Florida, the Who are from London. Both get played on classic hits and classic rock radio, respectively, across the country. Their hits and/or well-known album tracks were played everywhere. There's no logical reason either should have been played to death in Cincinnati and virtually ignored elsewhere.

Ok, then our opinions differ. I remember The Who getting played to death on WEBN back in the 80s like it was the only rock band that existed. Jimmy Buffett mentions Cincinnati in one of his songs. So, they latched onto that one too.

Saw The Who in Seattle a bit before the pandemic in the baseball stadium with about 25,000 of my close personal friends. Don't know about Jimmy and Cincy, but trust me my friend, The Who is no regional favorite.

Selective memory. Album rock and classic rock stations everywhere had playlists containing music by several dozen bands and solo acts. I guarantee you that WEBN was no more overexposing the Who than it was underexposing bands you liked. You just noticed the Who tracks more because of your dislike of the band. Sometimes I've felt the same way about Aerosmith here, but when I've checked playlists, the group actually gets played just as often as the Who, the Stones, AC/DC, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers or any other major classic rock act. Since I evidently feel the same way about Aerosmith as you do about the Who, their songs stick out as annoyances to me.

Ok, you’re clearly Who fans, and I did slam Cincinnati radio and was asking for it. I also think you misunderstood what I meant by “regional favorites”. Let’s just agree to disagree. Not worth getting banned over it.

The only tie to Cincinnati for The Who would be the deaths that occurred during a crowd stampede, (which was immortalized in a WKRP in Cincinnati episode), but that's not going to make their music test better. Peter Frampton is from Cincinnati but I don't know that he gets more airplay there than anywhere else.
