Was Empty Glass the best solo record Townshend ever made? I would argue that Chinese Eyes is a better album. The production is more interesting, as is the song writing. The songs are more intricate, more detailed; this is more than just another well-crafted rock record. Even more than Empty Glass, Chinese Eyes captures a composer at his most personal even while couching his revelations in language that anyone who was alive, aware and an adult in the early 80's can relate to. While it might lack the drama of, say, Rumours, Chinese Eyes makes that collection of razor dances seem positively childish. Chinese Eyes may be relevatory but it also possesses diginity, if dignity can be found in quietly falling apart. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.109.220.235 (talk • contribs).

Merging of songs edit
- I would like to merge all the song articles into this article. Typically album tracks don't get their own articles unless they are singles or otherwise notable enough for a standalone article. Additionally, a centralized source of information is much better than small bits of information sprinkled across a bunch of song stubs. If no one objects, I'll perform the merge in the next couple days. Wickethewok 21:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Works for me. Most of these song articles have no links-to except from the album or the prev/next chains. Wasted Time R 21:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Wickethewok 13:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Redirected from North Country Girl edit
I really don't think a search for a song should redirect to an album containing a cover of the song. North Country Girl is probably worth an entry of its own really, but if it must redirect to an album, it ought to be The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Clearly. --Oolong (talk) 13:27, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
More on North Country Girl edit
Townshend's song is different from Dylan's. Different wording in the title, slight differences in the lyrics, but the tune (melody) bears no resemblance at all to Dylan's. It would have been purposeful to stress this in the article. Words: Dylan and Townshend. Music: Townshend.
- You'd need a good reference for that, especially considering the credits say written by Dylan, arranged by Pete.Doctorhawkes (talk) 04:30, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
