I'm sure this has been done before, but oh well.

The Who was a great band with legendary, awesome songs. Quintessential rock and roll.

But wtf is Pinball Wizard? I don't care if it's a metaphor or has some deep symbolic meaning. It's a horrible song.
Let's go, Brandon!

I started a similar thread years ago to the effect of "songs you hate by an artist/band you normally love" and vice-versa "songs you love by an artist/band you normally hate".

You know it is from a rock opera, right? I needs to be heard w/ the rest of the album for context. BTW, the film version features Ann Margret rolling around the floor, covered in beans - a sight you can't forget once you see it.

Pinball Wizard is great, sure the lyrics aren't the best but the music is great

. The story behind it is that they needed Tommy to be good at a game or something and Townshend knew that a major music critic/writer was a huge pinball fan, so Tommy became a pinball wizard to help the review.

If every song by Rush is terrible should they still be considered a great band?

As ggg mentioned, Tommy is a rock opera. Elton John's version of Pinball from the movie is great. I was in HS when the movie came out. A great era of rock music.

I just saw an article about this topic, it had escape from ride the lightning. Talked about how James hates it and it was written last minute to satisfy the labels want for a single.

F that. Escape is awesome!

And so is spit out the bone.

And I have the privilege of hearing Sweet Lew one of the 3 times they played it.

They had a lot of fun with it.

And there was a Texags poster with that name, Heyfoxymophandlemama.

And when he has that one there was a lot mansplaining going on.

For the OP. I remember coming out of the theatre almost 50 years ago, when rock was great. I wasn't quite sure what I had just witnessed.



The song with Eric Clapton was "different". Tina Turner singing The Acid Queen was intense.
