The Who: Baba O'Riley

the best kind. Whoever said rock should be prissy and kewl.Dubversion said:it's got that HORRIBLE synth noise burbling along and then it just turns into another one of their bloated rock songs.
More guitar solos, longer songs; the more pomp and circumstance the fucking better in my book. Better than any old punk shit or this modern crap we hear today (ooh aren't kaiser chiefs so relevant darlings!)

I'd agree with Won't Get Fooled Again.
But Baba O Riley was something fresh and new when it came out. Again, it has to be considered against the backdrop of its time.

It felt good back then to hear Townsend sing 'teenage wasteland'. We knew exactly what he was talking about. Yeah, because we were all wasted...

well, sheesh, that told me.
If more people like it, it MUST be good.

I'm of two minds about seeing the old groups nowadays.
I've seen the Stones a few times, but it has all the original members. I don't like it when the lineup includes fill-in musicians.
