Roger Daltrey - Avenging Annie

[kmangel444]

I love this song. I like both versions. Roger covered this well.

[kwixotic]

This isn't bad but too "forced" and hence not as good as Andy's.

[kathymoore57]

have the album,been waitn on u tube!

[royalstarblue]

I like both versions, both very good, perhaps I like Andy's a tad better, but both are very good.

[lrd9999]

Not bad, the arrangement sounds a little like something from the "Tommy" period. RD's vocals would sound good enough to anyone who'd never heard the Andy Pratt version.

When I was a teenager I heard this once the DJ said the name but not who sang it ... I loved it and never heard it again. Before the days of instant technology you were screwed trying to track down a song. So here I am a couple dozen years later finding it on you tube ...what can I say ???

[merlinsdad01950]

If you were in the Boston-Providence area listening to the radio during the summer of 1973, you'd absolutely know that Andy Pratt's original is far-far better!!

[rickster58]

I also prefer Andy's version. But this one is good too.

[johnshipe]

I'm surprised how many prefer this to Pratt's. I like Pratt's. But Daltrey is really right for it, too. Whoever said The rest of the Who should have done was right on. This could have been an epic who hit. Epic.

[springsteen96]

Ive never heard Roger's version before, its ok it could have been better... but i prefer Andy's..

[tommyrock69]

Roger's best.

[skunkdad7]

Wow ! Love this ! Better than the original .

[juni0r75]

Wow, I just came across this today. In a lot of ways it is a complete reinterpretation by Daltry from Pratt's original(he rewrote the pronouns to make it completely from the first person), but it is a fusion between Daltry's rock and the melodic beeauty of Pratt that most impresses me! What do others thinks? I can't judge the two together because Pratt's original will always have a special place in my memory (Mom playing it when I was a kid on her stereo!!)

[sotampacane]

Daltrey's version is one of those rare songs where the cover is better than the original.

[glimmer2158]

The Who should have really covered this. I can just hear Townshend singing the woman's part.

[dickshawny]

Cool version. But it does not capture the brilliance of the original version by Andy Pratt.

[chickengeorge69]

Can't stand Andy Pratt's version but this is great!

[crorivpro]

Pretty good, but sound muddy compaired to Andy' Pratt's original.

[SurdinMusicUnlimited]

A piece of advice: listen to Andy's version.

[skunkdad7]

@SurdinMusicUnlimited Did , this beats it all over town .

[theseventhprotocol]

Nice version of this one hit wonder by Andy Pratt.

[andzwe]

Although I surely prefer the magic and musicality of Andy Pratt's original, this one may explain why he never reached a mass audience. Subtlety and complexity mostly doesn't sell so easily or not at all. Roger Daltrey avoids all that, with this into-your-face version.

[hrothgleas]

@andzwe Sorry - just can't buy Pratt's falsetto. Roger and the Ox rule.

[spyguys]

Roger did good, but Andy's original blows it away! Everything about it is superior.

[danmarg12]

Pretty cool...how can I get Roger to record one of my songs?

[Ptrgamb]

Okay but not nearly as good as Andy's amazing original

[recordsare]

hi Roger

hi everybody

this is actually my song

blessings

andy pratt

[Jgeneraledger23]

I like Rogers version for the low parts, but Andy's version for the high parts. That would be cool if they ever did this song on stage together.

[TheLibby3]

great song!!!!!!!!

[ansapo]

Haven't heard this song since Slaton used to play it as my intro back in '89. Thanks! Anne (Avenging Annie ) Silberman
