What is "The Who's" best song?

[Midnightangel]

One of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Here are but a few choices:

1) Who Are You

2) Wont Get Fooled Again

3) Emminance Front (people usually think it's "Living in the funk")

4) Baba O'Riley (aka, "Teenage Wasetland")


Feel free to pick one or name your own.

This one is my favorite. I'm actually not crazy about The Who. They're generally lumped in with Stones, Zep etc. in the upper echelon of bands and I just don't have them at that same level.

Best song is kind of tough, but I definitely think that Who's Next is their best album, since just about every song on that album is among their best songs.

Not sure about their "best", but my favorite back in the 70's was Pinball Wizzard.
I was real good on the pinball machines of that era. Walking away from a machine after playing for a couple hours on one quarter, and leaving 6 or more free games for the next kid to happen along was the norm.

I suck at modern pinball though.

No doubt, but Tommy had a lot of good stuff on it too, unlike Quadrophenia which had only 1 or 2 songs worth remembering.

Good call. Still, the lyric "Hope I die before I get old" in that song doesn't now resonate the way it did when I first heard it some 40 years or so ago.

In my 42 years, I have honestly never heard anyone say "Living in the Funk".... But I think that is awesome!

Anyone want to start a thread about mis-understood lyrics? (Sim to Wayne's World)?

There's a bathroom on the right.

Pretty much agree with Yoga on Can't Explain, and I can see for miles (what a great intro).

I like pretty much anything off of Who's Next, too. 'My Wife', with Entwisle singing, and 'Goin Mobile'.
