My favourite The Who tunes

Their music were brought back to this generation (hurhur...) when Jerry Bruckheimer, being a huge fan, decided to use their songs as the themes for all his CSI shows. Here are a couple of my personal favourites.

Baba O' Riley (live)



Used for CSI: New York, if I'm not wrong. "Teeeeennnageeee wasteland... it's only teenage wasteland!!!"

Summertime Blues (live)



One of the few covers they ever did. Great stuff. The video clearly demostrated why drummer Keith Moon was used as the template when they designed the muppet Animal. They did a cover of Beach Boys

Won't Get Fooled Again (live)



Used for CSI: Miami. I love this tune. The audio quality is pretty bad but the light show and performance are pretty insane.

My Generation (live)



The classic anthem which inspired the title of a defunct local music magazine.

Behind Blue Eyes (live)



Well, most of my favourite tunes are from Who's Next?. This is one of them. This live video is recorded a year after drummer Keith Moon's death. This is probably when you start hearing the hi-hat in The Who's tunes as Keith Moon totally eschews the hi-hat.

See Me, Feel Me/Listening To You (live)



The main theme from Tommy.

As you can tell, I'm a huge fan. How big of a fan? I've a boxset, several albums and quite a couple of digitally remastered re-issues. The Who, in particular, under the leader of guitarist Pete Townshend wrote subversive pop tunes in the 60's before diving full-scale rock operas and concept albums. All wrapped within the context of a 4-piece rock'n'roll band (with the occasional triggered appregiated synthesizer).
