I really like the Limp Bizkit version...probably the only song they've done that I've liked (so far).
For me its one of those VERY rare scenarios where I like both the original and the cover.

The year prior to the release of this album, the Who played the Isle of Wight festival.  As others have commented, they were at the peak of their Who power during this era.   Check out video to see a truly transcendent live band!

It was some years after that I heard of this song.  I was 16, went to see Tommy on the theatre and it was such a shake, both aesthetic and musical. I'm time travelling each time I get to hear it. It's a very nice state actually.

With the benefit of decades of hindsight, this (album) really was their high-water mark. Sure, Tommy and Quadrophenia were strong efforts but Who's Next was near-perfect. One of the great rock bands at the peak of their powers. This song in particular kicks some serious butt.

Back in the eighties, I knew a guy in Miami who said he had been Keith's boyfriend (manfriend?). Holy crap, did he have stories, including Keith driving a limo into the pool at the Beverly Hill Wilshire. Crazy, funny, sad stuff...

Not only an epic song on an epic album but one of the best covers ever. Think it pissed off Kubrick? (pun intended)
