Baba O’Riley – The Who
This 1971 song was also penned for the Rock Opera that Townshend was planning. In an interview, he explained that it’s about “the absolute desolation of teenagers at Woodstock, where audience members were strung out on acid and 20 people had brain damage. The irony was that some listeners took the song to be a teenage celebration: ‘Teenage Wasteland, yes! We’re all wasted!’”
Blackbird – The Beatles
The Fab 4 released this song, penned by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, in 1968. The former played it for his fans camping outside the first time that Linda Eastman, his future wife, stayed over at his place.
