Reviews for Baba O'Riley Lyrics

This song makes me change my onlook on life for the time i hear it atleast...i first heard this song on CSI:NY and it made me feel that some thing is still out there which is worth living for and its called music...

I saw the THE WHO in 79'at the Pontiac Silver Dome eleven days after the Cincy, fiasco
It is one thing to turn the lights out put on Who's next and cranking it up,and seeing them performed live.I have seen the Stones,Pink Flyod,Zep.and alot of other great one's but that concert was one of the GREATEST EVER!!!! Love THE WHO

My parents have been huge rock fans since their teens. It is their musical influence that has encouraged me to listen to rock music for practically my whole life. Although I had been familiar with The Who previously, I had never taken the opportunity to really listen to their music. I have just recently had that chance and now that I have listened to their exceptional music, I have ultimately fallen in love with The Who and all of its members. Baba O'Riley is one of my all-time favourite songs and I have learnt to play it on the piano. I think it amazing that, as a 15-year-old, I have been able to turn away from the second-rate, so-called musicians of today who sing of nothing but partying and getting drunk and really listen to music made by such inspirational and truly talented people. The Who will always be my favourite band.

Barba O'Riley, what can I say about the song...
Masterpiece of their time, or....

I notice that this tittle comes back in many series and movies.

So what needs to be said? It's quality that musicians can't or won't make anymore.

With the technical knowhow of that time to make such sounds is incredible. Nowadays groups only use computers when they needed a specail sound.

The voice of a Roger Daltry that sings it from his gut and the guitar riffs of Pete Townsend it so complete, even the briges in the song are realy good.

Wish that such kind of music is going to be produced again, but the youth of today mostly don't understand it, because I think about another tittle that is true (Video Killed The Radio Star).

Hear this on a 7.1 installation and out loud in a room with a good acoustic and close your eyes and let the music and lyrics come to you.

Have fun hearing this song over and over again.

Daniel; that piano at the beginning is not piano. It is synthesizer before the era of the synthesizer. More oscilloscopes than a easy-to-use device made by Sony or who-ever.

Never the less, I'm glad you found this band and this song. I had a similar journey at your age as well through all the legends from the 60's and 70's.

Since this song says "teenage wasteland" in it, I thought it would be fitting for a teenager (me) to write a review about it. It think that is an all around good song, but I especially like the keyboard part in the beginning. In some parts of that, it seems like the pianist must've had three hands to make the music that he did. I would definitely put it on my list of top 10 best songs ever.

i just look my father cassetes collection in my old house in indonesia, yeah i found the who's, who's next album, on 1st track baba o'riley song, it reminds me when i was child my pa always played this song to me, till now this song is still awesome.. So a i said if the who is totally awesome rock band ever!! Hell yeah..

This is hands down my favorite Who song. To me it puts into song how juveniles deal with "coming of age", for example the lyrics, "I don't need to fight to proove I'm right". I think back to my teenage years whenever I hear this song. I also agree with Cass, that particular chord you're referring to gives me goosebumps.

I just wanted to add that The Who came to my town in the late 70's and it was a very, very major deal, as a band of such stature very rarely played there at the time. The government was afraid of riots, so they only raffled the tickets by mail, seriously. My friend won, and I got to go. They kicked off with Baba O'Riley, then Summertime Blues, then Who are You. Oh my God they were great, it was like seeing the Beatles. I never saw a band so strong and confident the could put their best stuff up front like that, and not have to save it for an encore. Thanks for your time, God bless you.

THE WHO is one of the greatest rock bands ever the music of today:rap screamo and little kids like justin beiber need to shut up and look at true music!! ac/dc matalica def leppered led zeplin and who can forget THE WHO with some of the greatest rock music ever writen??????

I've always loved this song. It's a fact of life, those who hate this song have no soul. So, when I was watching House earlier and he started playing this song, I jumped up and was like "HECK YEAH!" I of course tried to play it like Hugh Laurie, failed in an epic fashion, and started singing it at the top of my lungs, even after the episode was over.

Long story short, Baba O'Riley, one of the number one songs of EVER. :D

This is a kickin song pump up the volume because bab o riley is the only song im playing. This is an execllent the best one they wrote.. i think.. It goes great as the CSI:New York theme tune as i think it describes the characters in the programme and New York in general.

In all honesty, Baba O'Riley was rather obscure cunsidering the other great songs The Who have done. When CSI New York made it their theme song, it's now heard almost everywhere from football games to ice hocky. Now please don't think I"m putting this song down because I'm not. I grew up listening to them and their music is near and dear to my heart.

Just goes to show what a TV show can do for a song.

When CSI started with Who Are You I was ecstatic. When the newer version hit the TV with Won't Get Fooled Again I was elated. The three most widely recognized Who hits are those two and Baba O'Riley. When I heard a third CSI was in the works, I just knew that Baba O'Riley had to be the theme. I was right, but not as I had imagined. Then after a couple(?) seasons they altered the theme slightly but still not how I would have made it. I was sure that they would use the lyric "They're All Wasted!" I don't know if that was the kind of wasted that Pete and the boys were referring to, (it could mean misused or really stoned) but the show is about dead people, right? Murder victims? "They're All Wasted!" seemed appropriate. Maybe the right TV producer will read this. I like the show, but I could love it.

I always heard about Who's, im From Venezuela, english isnt my original leanguish, but i will try to do my best given my best oppinion.. By the time 70´s i though that Band had a advanced music criteria, we have to rescue the Rebel esence of the Rock, that lyrics are simply Anti-System !! Anarchy and hippie times Again.. against washed brains !! ty .. from Venezuela.
