I would pick Xanadu by a hair. I absolutely admire Baba o'Riley, my favorite The Who song by far!

I love both from first hearing, but Xanadu is in my top 10 of prog songs, so...

The glorious Baba O'Reilly. Can't argue with that gypsy violin! (Well, sure, of course, you can, but I mean, why would you want to?) A great song all around.

I find this one difficult. I know very little The Who, and even less that I actually like a lot... but the few songs that I do like are monumental, and Baba O'Riley is one of them. However, Xanadu is also one of Rush's standout tracks too. I guess I'll give it to The Who because the song is strong all along, while for me Xanadu drags a little (of course the difference of length has got a lot to do with this).

Baba O'Riley is Prog-Related to my ears. Ideally this poll should be in the Proto-Prog/ Prog Related forum, but poll-making was disabled there. Anyway, I voted Baba O'Riley based on my preference, great track I think, and as it has strong sentimental value for me. I would vote for "The Rock" over it, though -- I love that track and used to get goosebumps when listening to Quadrophenia and "Doctor Jimmy" would be transitioning into "The Rock". While I like Rush's Xanadu, I'm not kidding when I say that I prefer the ELO/ Olivia Newton-John "Xanadu". |

boo to the OP.. as a general rule The Who are lightyears above and beyond the prebubescent rawk of Rush....you would have picked the ONE Who song of note that I don't think was all that man...
voting Xanadu ..though I that is high up on the hit parade of character assignations of Peart's lyrical abilities.. errgggg... at least the music is still pretty cool.. |
