@MegaGrinsy 'Baba' comes from Pete's spiritual influence, Meher Baba. 'Riley' comes from Terry Riley, a minimalist composer Townshend took influence from. The 'O' is in to make 'Baba' and 'Riley' flow better.
I've been here before because this song is awesome, but was re-inspired to come back here due to the Resident Evil: Retribution trailer. So naturally that makes me special; everyone who thumbs me up is as special as me and doing so increases their e-pnis size and potency. ;)
@reedscott3 I love hearing that from anybody. Rush, Zeppelin, Journey, The Who, The Beatles, Yes, good music is almost completely dead, right? Except for Fountains of Wayne, those guys are still good.
This brings back all sorts of memories. Although i have only lived 16 short years so far, when ever i listen to this, i get the vivid memory of hanging out with my grandpa. A true man, who i look up to almost as much as my dad. When i hear this, i want to live forever and ever. Life is a beautiful place. And I NEVER will want to leave.
@OfficialNathanNarain I do take everything that kids say on IMDB with a grain of salt, but this one guy on the board does happen to be right everytime. I wouldn't be surprised if this shows up.
As a child of the 70's I obviously rocked out to this song many times but...
...it took on new meaning when I visited the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland in 2005 and this song was playing outside while we were waiting for it to open. For all of us freezing our A**es off, It made our day feel epic as we sung together and changed forever how I listen to this song. It definitely ranks in my Top 10 all-time Rock songs!
Me and my daddy went to see The Who in Verona 5 years ago. At the beginning of Baba O'riley I was crying,and my daddy screaming so loud, as if it was the last day of our lives:I've never forgot that. Thanks Roger,Pete,Keith and John.
my mom got me a messenger bag that had "THE WHO" on the cover flap. i was like...oh cool. she asked me if i knew who they were, me, being a teenager, obviously said no. and then, she introduced me to her old tapes and stuff...now,. i'm hooked :)
heard this on the radio but could never catch the artist name,its the best when you find these on youtube, i got here because wont get fooled again is a beast

@VHandtheAC No my Dad did i grew up listening to The Who and hearing and watching my dad play Guitar to The Who and ZZ-Top and The Talking Head and so many more i cant remember, Maybe it was the Doobie!
@wayland2003 Wow, really clever. Look I really don't care how you got here. I just think it's silly that this song is entering modern vernacular as "that song from House" or "the theme song from CSI: Murder Town" or whatever. I don't care if you just heard this song for the first time, or if you were there when Pete Townshend wrote the damn thing. Just shut up and listen, alright?
@TheDeadlyDNA did you just read my last comment?? I don't give a fuck about you or fucking thumbs or any of this internet bullshit. It makes no difference to me, I'll just listen to Baba O'Riley on my turntable like music is supposed to be listened to, and avoid whimpering children like you.
