| 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! |

| yawn. |
| 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. |

| Awsome a well deserved 9 for me. |
| Honestly, it just doesn't get any better than this!!! |

| Possibly the best song on this brilliant album.... |
| I saw The Smithereens cover this about two weeks ago, it was truly awesome. |

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) |
