Which of their songs do you think have the widest appeal?


As in songs that people who aren’t even into older music would like?
I’d say Bargain, Baba O Riley, Pinball Wizard, Love Reign Over Me, You Better You Bet, Happy Jack, Substitute, and Boris the Spider.

Baba O'Riley, Pinball Wizard and Magic Bus.

Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, Pinball Wizard.

More sophisticated audiophiles would listen to Quadrophenia from start to finish.

Dr. Jimmy

..and Mr. Jim. When I'm pilled you don't notice him....this is truly a masterpiece. 4 bandmates, 4 personalities, 4 themes (musically). It is astonishing.

Sorry, this should be in a Pete Townshend post.

reply

Pinball Wizard.

Townshend once said of the song that he knew he had a "Ace up his sleave" with that song.

Hey this is a Roger Daltrey board! Let's talk about his underappreciated hit..Free me!

God that got a lot of air time around the time of Woodstock.

Teenage Wasteland.

Pinball Wizard, I agree.

I'd also agree with Won't Get Fooled Again and Magic Bus.

But number one? M-m-m-my Generation

Won’t get fooled again

My Generation

Ma-ma-My Generation?

Baba O Riley, We Won't Get Fooled Again

For sure ...

If you were around when that album came out - all the songs were great, but those two were played frequently for years and years.

Years later it was Love Reign Over Me, and then Who Are You, and finally Eminence Front.

Pete had some success with Rough Boys, Secondhand Love and Slit Skirts

Been pretty damn quiet since then.

Oh, almost forgot Pinball Wizard

A lot of pretty good stuff like Magic Bus, Substitute, My Generation, See Me Feel Me, the ones you mentioned and a lot of others.

"Did You Steal My Money?"... anyone?

Another Tricky Day ... is that the name of it? Love that song.
