The Who - Baba O'Reilly

ORIGINATION Who's Next
LAST LISTENED TO yesterday
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT durn good
RATING

It begins with an arpeggiated synth, before a piano and then some excellent open-hat drums break in. For me that's what makes the song: the piano and the rock steady, flashing beats over the burbling synth. Townsend is not particularly evident and why Daltry is banging on about 'a teenage wasteland' holds almost no interest to me whatsoever. To be fair it does sound good, whatever it may mean. In a nutshell: drums, piano, synth.
