No, it isn't shit. It's verging on prog, well OK it is prog, but it's part of rock's heritage, and it's an OK song.

Cliff Richard is irrevocably part of the UK's rock heritage, for a start.

No, he's part of the heritage of a parallel music-form that superficially appears to have some of the characteristics of rock or pop.Dubversion said:
But, I'll accept it was a badly chosen phrase. I meant if I heard it on a programme about 70s rock I wouldn't turn it off.

i think you misunderstand. My point was that I imagine Cliff played a big part in The Who's heritage - it's easy to forget that at one point he was the English Elvis, he was an important figure.
So playing your band in the heritage might bestow recognition but it doesn't necessarily follow you were any good

A question: did you hear it when it came out?
Did you hate it then also, or is this another one of your revisionistic vists to the past?

Watching CSI hs just recently made me dig out my one and only Who CD to take a few samples for my new PC noises ..
"Won't Get Fooled Again" is probably the only track you'll catch me playing these days, but "Baba O'Reily" comes a close second.
I'm not sure I'm that keen to get hold of "Who Are You" - the CSI Vegas theme....

No, I probably wasn't even at school when it came out. But I disliked it from when I first heard it and I've never understood why it's considered a classic. Ditto Won't Get Fooled Again - that never-ending fucking intro makes me want to slaughter puppies

Sad but true, DLR.. Cliff was - for a brief little while - a key figure in the foundation of a R&R scene in the UK
it is a great line, but it's lost in a morass of awful keyboards and bombastic riffing

I am doomed to alway like "Won't Get Fooled Again" - I can still almost hear Alan "Fluff" Freeman's comment after playing it one saturday in the mid-70s ...
It will probably be forever associated in my mind with The overture from Bizet's Carmen ...
"Not 'alf"
That was my era(l). My two favourite Joni Mitchell albums are "Hissing" and "Hejira", and "Desire" is my favourite Bob Dylan album.

I see that the overwhelming majority in this poll think it has some mark of quality, even if some toneless twat thinks it's 'shite'.
