Keith Emerson was using synths before the Who, and more prog bands were influenced by his style of playing rather than the style in Baba O'Riley.

Keith Emerson isn't the point of the arguement, so it doesn't matter if he was more influential.

It gradually merged with some other genres to become prog.
And by the way, I've been sitting here trying to think of any other great songs that have a repetitive sequencer based synthesizer line playing the same thing over and over again throughtout a whole song and can't think of a single one besides Won't Get Fooled Again. Maybe some dance bands or electronica?

So let's see if I've got this straight..
Tomorrow Never Knows influenced a whole genre of music
Baba O'Riley influenced a particular way of playing a synthesizer
Yes, I can see that I was totally wrong and bow to your superior knowledge..

If you are referring to hard rock, that style was already in place, although its a fine example of it. If you are referring to another style, please, do tell.
