Baba O'Riley is being used as part of the trailer for The Peanuts Movie. I'm still in disbelief. Ugh, ugh, ugh.  icon_mad

Pretty bad. No connection whatsoever.

That does seem odd from a Who standpoint. And
 I can't accept Peanuts without Vince Guaraldi.

Yea. If anything jazz up the Guaraldi tunes or something. That's the heritage of this franchise.

It is a good scream. I’m trying to think of others now.

That’s not a bad one. Similarly themed song too.

In regard to the Who, in my own opinion, nobody can come close to Roger Daltrey's volume, power, and emotion in regard to his vocals for Quadrophenia; for example:

https://youtu.be/w2W1-69yraU

I'm obviously biased, being a huge Who fan, but IMO I don't see any one else nail quite lyrics.

In regard to other famous rock star screams, Little Piece of My Heart by Janis Jopln comes to mind. . .

I think Roger gets overlooked a bit as a vocalist. I think he does a great job.

I'm so glad you said that; I agree on both points.

Update: OK, I wasn't happy with my original wording, so I modified it and added a sentence. (Yes, I edit myself  ;)  )

In my own opinion, nobody can come close to Roger Daltrey's volume, power, and emotion, especially in regard to his vocals for Quadrophenia. For example:

<Helpless Dancer>

I'm obviously biased, being a huge Who fan, but IMO I don't see any one else quite nailing Pete Townshend's  lyrics like he does.

In regard to other famous rock star screams, Piece of My Heart by Janis Jopln comes to mind. . .


I recall Daltrey refused to sing "However Much I Booze," from The Who By Numbers, because it was so personal, so Townshend sang it himself.

I just realized there's another great scream at the end of this song, the "lead up" is around 5:45:

https://youtu.be/oTTMR93Aunc

I love this song, and basically every Quadrophenia track, so much. This LP (and movie) got me through adolescence.

The opening lyrics perfectly sum up my own teenage attitude toward life, and reading them now I realize they nicely dovetail with my post-divorce cynicism.

You were under the impression
That when you were walking forward
You'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple
You got altered information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples


I'm finally getting back to "the real me" (ha ha, get it?) and not as jaded, though.

Here's her scream when Big Brother and The Holding Company performed it live at the 1968 Newport Folk Festival...

I have to sneak some BAD in here somewhere. . .

I usually scream along to the two screams in the first 30 seconds of this. (Only when I'm in the car and alone, of course.)

Seems there aren't a lot of Who fans here, but thought I'd post this anyway: Yardbarker's "Definitive Who" playlist.

I normally avoid these sorts of lists because they are so subjective, but this one caught my eye. My own list of a definitive Who playlist would be pretty different. I suppose the songs included depend on your target audience. If the target audience for this is a person who isn't familiar with the Who's work, then I suppose it passes muster. (I'm sure Yardbarker would be glad to hear of my tepid approval.  ha2ha  )

25. The Seeker (this song mentions the Beatles)
24. Another Tricky Day
23. The Acid Queen
22. Slip Kid
21. A Legal Matter
20. I Can't Explain
19. 5:15
18. The Real Me
17. Bargain
16. Substitute
15. Squeeze Box
14. You Better You Bet
13. Love, Reign O'er Me
12. Eminence Front
11. Who Are You
10. Pinball Wizard
9. Getting in Tune
8. We're Not Gonna Take It
7. My Generation
6. The Kids Are Alright
5. Behind Blue Eyes
4. I Can See For Miles
3. Go to the Mirror
2. Baba O'Riley
1. Won't Get Fooled Again

The article claims "Love Reign O'er Me" is the last track on Quadrophenia, but that album's last track is actually Bell Boy.

I disagree with a lot of these ("Slip Kid"? pass; "Squeeze Box"? pass; "A Legal Matter"? The listed rationale for this one was that it is part of their early repertoire. Why not "La La La Lies" or "It's Not True"?) That said, I was pleasantly surprised to see "Go to the Mirror" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" get flagged and that the Face Dances LP wasn't ignored. On the other hand, The Who Sell Out got short shrift, in my opinion. And, also in my opinion, their choices from Quadrophenia are boring.

Back to work. . .

I'm a fan of any song where Roger Daltrey swings his microphone...

It looks a pretty safe list overall. Most of the top ten or eleven are bigs Who songs. Go to the Mirror is a bit of an more interesting choice though. There might be better songs of quadrophenia. But I do like 5:15 and Love reign oe’r Me

I also have a soft spot for Squeeze Box. I remember it as a young chap and one of my older brothers explaining what it was about.   ;D
