‘Who’s Next’ (the 5th studio album) bursts out the gates with ‘Baba O’Reilly’ and doesn’t stop until it’s interstellar. It could’ve been even bigger: Townsend originally intended to release it as a rock opera named ‘Lighthouse’, but eventually downscaled. What we got instead is a masterpiece that’s at once as concise and expansive as any rock record released in the era. ©NME (my personal top1000 of all times: http://nopaste.nl/lBjemgwgSV )

One of my favourite who tracks which I hadn't heard for ages. Too good not to share.
Here it is: #finaljam then. For no reason other than it always sounded great closing a DJ set. Many thanks to #TIMJ & all those who made it great. Hope to catch y'all in some other format soon. Craig (pocketbeatnik) signing out.
