This album also includes the tunes, "Everybody Wants Some", "Loss of Control", and "Take Your Whiskey Home".

"Candle In The Wind", from the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", originally released in 1973. This album also includes the classics, "Bennie and the Jets", "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)".

The song was reworded in 1997, as a tribute to Princess Diana who died that year.

Drummer Martin Chambers was an original member, quit the band in 1986, and rejoined in 1993.
8. "Slip kid, slip kid, second generation, I'm a soldier at thirteen. Slip kid, slip kid, realization, there's no easy way to be free, no easy way to free. It's a hard, hard world."

Answer: The Who

"Slip Kid", from the album "The Who By Numbers", originally released in 1975. This album also includes the classics, "Squeeze Box", "How Many Friends", and "However Much I Booze". "Slip Kid" is definitely one of the Who's best, and my favorite Who tune.
