Obviously, these are two of the most covered bands by PJ, meaning most of us have seen the covers live.

So, which band do you prefer to see PJ cover?

The Who (Baba O'Riley/The Real Me)

...or

Neil Young (RITFW etc).

Me personally? I like Neil originals far more than The Who, but I like PJ covers of The Who better. Weird...

    Ive seen the big three by The Who: Baba O'Riley, The Real Me, and Love Reign O'er Me
    Ive seen the big three by Neil Young: RITFW, F'In Up, Harvest Moon

    I would rank them like this:

    1. RITFW
    2. F'In Up
    3. Baba
    4. Love Reign
    5. Harvest Moon
    6. The Real Me

    So Neil wins!

    I've seen RITFW like 8-9 times and Baba 1... so Baba because of that...

    But I would rather have them pick new NY covers than new The Who covers.

    I'm with you. I prefer PJ's Who covers to Neil's. Baba and Love Reign o'er Me are the best. RITFW has been played to death

    The Who, no doubt. I like Neil but c'mon, it's the Who!
    In fact just yesterday while listening to Baba on my ipod at work I thought to myself, PJ is due to learn some new Who covers. Or at least bring back some of the ones that were only done a couple of times, ie. The Seeker.

    Which I could ear RITFW live once! I agree it's been played to death but it's a special song for me. Should have bought tickets to Toronto 1 2012....

    All the shows I've been to ended with Yellow Ledbetter.....all 7 of them!

    That being said.....I love Neil covers better.

    Neil all the way for me. I'm not a fan of The Who really although I love The Kids Are Alright and The Real Me. I've only seen RITFW once but think it should be retired now. More Neil please. Cortez The Killer and Down By The River would be great for Stone and Mike trading licks! :)

    i have to admit it...i don't like the who at all! but i love it when pearl jam pulls a cover of them!

    hmm...pearl jam should pull a tour like metallica did (garage days) - go in small clubs play 2h of covers and then get them on air via radio!!!

    I agree. They've been their, done that.

    I'd love to see them to do an early Ramones cover or two.
