Teenage Wasteland

For the love of all which is sacred and holy in Rock music please know this song with the refrain of "teenage wasteland," which erronously subs for the true name of the song, “Baba O’Reily.” Pete Townshend wrote it from one of the greatest rock bands in history, The Who.

Thank you. Now back to the dithers of the thread.

I swear, I’ve never heard that song called anything other then Teenage Wasteland. It’s even introduced on the radio as Teenage Wasteland. But we live in IL, so clearly we are idiots.

The poster didn’t know what “Baba O’Reily” was so we all told her to think “Teenage Wasteland.”

For the love of all which is sacred and holy in Rock music Loved That!!! LOL

"Live at the Leeds" has always been my favorite Who album. I love their version of "Young Man Blues" and the way Pete Townshend really roams around guitar wise on that 15min version of "My Generation" is super.
