Baba O'Riley

"Baba O'Riley" is a song written by Pete Townshend and which first appeared as the lead track on The Who's 1971 album Who's Next. The song is sometimes lovingly but incorrectly referred to as "Teenage Wasteland". Noted for its innovative fusion of the Who's hard rock sound and early synthesizer experimentation by Townshend, and for its crashing chorus lyric of "Teenage Wasteland", the song is a perennial favorite on Classic Rock radio as well as a concert staple for the band.
