Sounds like the Mario Brother's theme sped up and through a distortion pedal on 10. Nothing redeeming whatsoever about that track.

Check out Geddy on this.

FF to 2:50. Hang for an awesome guitar solo that starts at 3:20.

Basically, that is a hard rock album for hard rock poseurs. Still some great tunes, but if I want raw Who I'd rather listen to their debut.

Suck the dick of all that is deemed classic, for that is the rule.

Chula Vista · 08-20-2016, 08:07 PM

Suck my dick. If you can't at least appreciate this you're a musical moron.

Sometimes it sucks hanging out with all of you children.

Says the guy who ****s on TMR. Baba O'Reilly is a mediocre song that everybody loves because they were told to love it. By all means, tell me how much better you are for being tricked into that crap.

You're no better than people who rep My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Bro I love some old Who, but by Who's Next they were too polished. It's not bad but it lacks the passion of their earlier material.

It's impossible to discuss this with people who first heard this stuff so far after the fact. I'm waving a white flag. If folks here can diss on the 2 Who vids I posted, then I'm at a loss.

Side note: It was almost impossible to get a ticket to a Who show in the early 70s. Many considered them the best live band of that era.

Music Banter > Chula Vista

Psssst: Did ya know that Teenage Wasteland was in direct response to The Who playing Woodstock? Townsend (next to Roger Waters, the most cynical musician of that era) was disgusted by what he saw at Woodstock.

"Out here in the fields, teenage wasteland."

I thought teenage wasteland was about a music teacher named Baba O'riley. That's why they named it that.

From Wiki.

Quote:

Townshend stated in an interview that "'Baba O'Riley' is about the absolute desolation of teenagers at Woodstock, where the patrons were smacked out on acid and 20 people had brain damage. The irony was that some listeners took the song to be a teenage celebration: 'Teenage Wasteland, yes! We're all wasted
