And of course I have to post what One Direction and their writers and producers implied was the "best song ever," which is not called "Teenage Wasteland" but "Baba O'Riley." Why is it called that? Because Pete was inspired by author and guru Meher Baba, and the opening synth segment is patterned after the music of "minimalist" composer Terry Riley. It has gotten more exposure in recent years and is a Who favorite. Not in my top 100 though, but still on my list. Also a key song from Lifehouse, as well as the opening track on Who's Next (Won't get Fooled Again is the finale). An echo is found in Quadrophenia, in which Jimmy gets disillusioned with all his teenage idols and escapes to the sea to find his authentic grown-up spiritual self.
