Reviews for Baba O'Riley Lyrics

i generally dont listen to The Whos , but luckily i came across Baba O'Riley, and whai i'll say is.. this song is really a rare talent .. 'i don't need to fight, to prove i m right' .. amazing lyrics and music too .. i listen to The Doors to the core .. but now i'll also start listening to The Whos. *BOW*

I recently bought the album Who's Next and Baba O'Riley is the first track. I heard this track a short while ago as the theme music to CSI New York and had to get it. I got it on Amazon for the grand some of £3.68 including P&P. Brilliant. I now have it as my cell phone ring tone, on my computer, and my MP3.
It should only be heard with the volume set to max in my opinion. There's a short piece in it where it's just the electric guitar playing and it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck! This trcak is,in my opinion one of the greatest examples of stadium rock ever.

Erin, the young population as a whole has been misled on the meaning of that word. They don't mean it as to be homophobic, they don't even know the meaning of the word. They only use it as a term of disgust for people because that is what they have been led to believe it is.I have firsthand experience on that, as I am only 14 myself. I hope you understand.

Where were you in '72. I was inhigh school and all we did was listen to "Who's next" We were Irish Catholic kids so Baba O'Reilly was our tribal anthem. I remember this song was played right before we went out to play for the football Championship for the state of Arizona

Turned out to be an unwise choice because "out there on the field, we fought for our meal" and our opponent "ate our lunch" They most definitely "put out our fire" and turned our offense into a "Teenage Wasteland" We were shut out and held to four first downs. But after the game "Sally took my hand, and we traveled south crossland" if ya know what I mean. Look at the time. I guess the "Exodus is near" TTFN

The Who are fantastic! I don't exactly like the comments left by anonymous, the 13 year old girl, though on the subject of 'faggots'. She has great taste but she shouldn't be homophobic, and she should know a bit about Pete Townshead if she likes this band so much and his own sexual identity. Maybe it would make her a little more tolerant.

Im a 13 year old girl and i've been listening to the who since before i was born. along with the ramones, the police, david bowie, the beatles the band, and so much more great music........... and I'm glad that teres other people out there that like the classics. all those fags who like hannah montanna and the jonas brothers are brainwashed fagets.

This is basically me in total agreement with everything said. The Who are truely and honestly rock-GODS, their music will, in the distant futre, still be regarded with and given the same respect as any classical composer that anyone can name. Total respect... *bow*

The Who is the Best rock band of all time. I saw them in Detroit last November and the old guys hadn't lost any energy or entertainment value. Pete was jumping and Roger was swinging the mic. Baba O'Riley is one of their many classics. The lead in sets it apart from any other song then or now. Meet the new boss, same as the boss. The Who are great.

the who is and will remain the epitome of what an unadulterated rock music represents. it had an awsome collection of talent possibly the best there ever was.baba o riley is an orgasmic pete townshend rendering.

unbelievable track even better live...when i see them perform"quadrophenia"at earls court and"the best of the who"at the same venue i just was'nt ready for how good they was going to be and o dont think i could explain to anyone who is going or wants to go to see the who how good they are live..
just think of how good you think they are going to be and times that by 10,000 and your still know were near how good the who are live,BEST BAND IVE SEEN AND WOULD HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!

dear keishafoulke,

first, you know nothing about live music. pino's amp may not have been heard enough. you are probably right. however, i'm 95% sure that his amp was plenty loud. when it comes to live sound, it's up to the person mixing the house to make you hear the music. the amps are either mic'ed or have a line running from them (usually a direct out from the head.) it's not pino's fault you didn't hear him.

second, you are an idiot to think you can play better than pino palladino. pino is sought after for about any style of music there is. he replaced willie weeks (arguably one of the best bass players in history. i mean if you can play funk really well, you can play basically anything) in the john mayer trio. look at his catalog. he's played with The Who (obviously,) David Gilmour, Don Henley, Richard Wright, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Paul Rodgers, Richard Ashcroft, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Common, Simon and Garfunkel, Jeff Beck, and Amos Lee. Do you honestly think that you can hold a candle to the most sought after session bass player in recording history? do you think you're good enough to have any of these people seek out your abilities? i seriously doubt that. you had been playing at the time of your post for less than a year. you are nowhere near the talent of pino palladino.

This was the first song I played on my bass guitar.
These guys (especially Pete and John) have inspired me beyond any measure.
Absolutely no need to explain.
The Who.
Baba O'Riley.
That's all that needs to be said.

the who have music that no matter how old you are people can relate to. im a drummer at 14 and all the music i ever tried to learn was by the who. today i can relate to Who songs no matter where i am. Keith Moon changed the shape of rock with his drumming and John made the bass a real instrument. The Who will always be my favorite band. Rock On!!!

The Who is one of the greatest bands in history and definitly of the 60's and 70's. The lyrics and insane guitar by Townshend, the insanly awesome vocals of Daltry, the booming bass of Entwistle and of course one of the Best drummers in history Moon. Now adays it truly is a "Teenage Wasteland" I hate the laziness of my Generation. The 60's tried to change the world now no one cares and the music sucks. (Props to the dude below me Saratoga rules!!)
