Their loud and confrontational sound has echoed through the decades as a major influence on subsequent musicians, and Pete Townshend's songwriting canon has shown him to be one of rock's more poetic voices.
I wasn't quite there for it in 1971, but I imagine the first minute's intro (track 1, side 1) must have been a bit disorienting on the initial listen - i.e. 'what is this?'
The album on which Baba O'Riley appears, Who's Next, was released nearly 53 years ago. The album comes close to being on my all-time Top 10 list. Close.

Absolutely, a true legend! Think John Entwistle wrote the second most.
The Ox was no slouch himself as a writer. "Boris The Spider" and "My Wife" are two of my favorite Who tunes.

Fantastic choice!
One of the best songs ever...
Probably
Truly a great piece of music by a great band.
Saw them in 87. Impressive stadium show. Great catalog
Nice! In UK?
No, I'm an US east coast dweller. Saw them at RFK Washington DC. Saw many shows there 80's-90's
hear! hear!
