What happened? In 1960-1990's we have awesome music like this, and now all we have is this alterna-rock shit. It doesn't all suck, but um, What the Fuck happened?

As Hugh Laurie says in "House"... "I LOVE THIS PART!" I first heard this version in the movie "Slackers".

I'd love to hear Hugh Laurie actually play this on a big-ass grand piano. He's not a bad pianist. Kinda weird listening to the commedian from "Blackadder" speaking with an Ohio accent, but he's just so much fun to watch.

"I don't need to be forgiven."

When you remove the lyrics to this song, the song's identity (and beauty) remains. When you remove the lyrics to modern music, you are left with a generic drum beat and bass line that a five-year-old plays to warm up during a lesson.

My favorite radio station is dedicated to the Oldies. As a child of the 90s, I am loath to reach the age where the trash of my contemporaries takes that title.

@GREATGOOGOLYMOOGOLY I didn't mind alternative rock in the 90's but Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop, soft rock, and all of this crap today is not what I call music. Nobody cares for old music. (They say: IT IS TOO OLD) Ugh why does this era falling apart. I can see in the next 100 years this world is gone... Long live Rock, and long live The Who. :)

Awesome music! Although I love the original version with vocals, it's nice to hear what a song sounds like without vocals.

when i first heard about this song i was like "So it's just without roger singing." Now I can say, it's a better instrumental than just without roger singing, its a whole new song, it's impossible not to like

@GREATGOOGOLYMOOGOLY It's today's generation: They've had their imaginations sucked out of them. I saw this as far back as the mid-80s.

@shinquan It's true that the market plays a pivotal role in the music industry (which shouldn't be an industry!). Generally, the music industry makes its money in the most effective way there is: Give the people what they want. People in general share some of the blame, because how many people actually see what's happened over the course of the past 20 years or so? It seems that most just don't care one way or the other. Listen to what you will, but at least give the true talent a chance.
