 And I am not trying to be a snob either, but I have never understood this. 
For me, if a song means something to me, it always does. The emotional connection 
to a song, band etc. has never been affected by a "sell out".  
 I was on the edge of my seat during halftime cause I have always loved the Who. 
And I realize they are still not "The Who", but man to hear those songs live on TV 
and to see my kids get excited cause they are seeing some semblance of one of 
daddy's all time favorite bands. Well you can't beat it. 
 We have jammed to Rock and Roll Circus, The Kid's are Alright and We Won't Get Fooled Again on ROCKBAND. 
 The power of music...............
