Baba O'Riley
"Baba O'Riley", also erroneously referred to as its chorus refrain "Teenage Wasteland", is a song by the English rock band the Who and the opening track to their studio album "Who's Next". It was issued in Europe as a single on 23 October 1971, coupled with "My Wife".

Roger Daltrey sings most of the song, with Pete Townshend singing the middle eight: "Don't cry/ don't raise your eye/ it's only teenage wasteland".

"Baba O'Riley" appears in "Time" magazine's "All-Time 100 Songs" list, "Rolling Stone"s list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.

It also features on live albums: "Who's Last", "Live from Royal Albert Hall", "Live from Toronto", and "Greatest Hits Live". The original recording's violin solo is played on harmonica by Daltrey when performed live.
