SheikYerbuti Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well, let's recap. Baba O'Riley is never said in the lyrics and is totally unmemorable. Teenage Wasteland is repeated over and over in the song and is as iconic sounding as "Let it Be" or "Paint it Black". Yup, I'm changing the title. Just listened to both of them, and I want to change my vote. Won't Get Fooled Again is a better song than Teenage Wasteland (sic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 they're not a band I actively dislike (like, say, rush), but they've just never really struck me much at all. their music just seems vapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point they were considered the best live band in the world by some. A viewing of their Isle Of Wight and Woodstock appearances supports this. I think they are one of those bands that were much better live than on record, like Iron maiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are one of those bands that were much better live than on record, like Iron maiden. my stepdad always said that. he saw them live a couple times, and talked about it all the time. talked about daltrey swinging the mike out over the crowd by the cord. sounds pretty lame and gimmicky to me (like a windmill guitar strum), but hey, I guess you had to be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j2v Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Since Eminence Front already received a couple highly-deserved mentions and Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reilly are also well represented, I'll cast my vote for Love, Reign O'er Me.

BeeR Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 lmao Big Dave. I don't know if there is a band that annoy me more than The Who. Don't like much of anything by them. Reading comprehension just isn't your thing either, is it I'd say Eminence Front (esp love the "MTV video" version) Who are you Another Tricky Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Magnolia Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The Who don't have a song called Teenage Wasteland. Baba O'Riley is often mistakenly called that. our record player was in the dining room and my brothers and me used to listen on the headphones and sing. My parents used to hate hearing me sing loud and off key: Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland. Teenage wasteland Oh, yeah Its only teenage wasteland They're all wasted!
