December 6, 2016 - The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (1971)


The Who recorded this song. Who? Right. No, who? I can't believe they all urinated on that helpless concrete monolith. You boys should be ashamed of yourselves!

Who hasn't heard this song a zillion times? I don't know, who? No, they recorded it. Haha, never gets old does it. Groan. I still love it. I have fond memories of playing this song when I was young and my Mom would say, "Oh there's that four year old again, banging on the organ. Where are the parents?"

Won't Get Fooled Again is an epic. It's one big Keith Moon drum fill, John Entwistle bass exploration, Pete Townsend guitar armada. Plus the amazing long organ parts at the beginning and in the middle (also played/programmed by Pete Townsend). Roger Daltrey's powerful vocals, and that wail at 7:45! One of the greatest wails ever recorded. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. What more is there to say, it's from the classic album Who's Next (with the classic urination cover), one of many fantastic albums released in 1971.
