I'm not sure Pete Townshend is very fond of this one, but I personally really like it a lot, probably because it's the first song by The Who that I ever knew.

Having this on Guitar Hero III though, and also Won't Get Fooled Again on Rock Band a little later, is what really started my interest in The Who and rock in general.

Ah those innocent days of discovery, when a newsagent would dispense filth to a couple of minors, simply because it was on the shelf, to be sold. I’m therefore dedicating this magnificent ‘Orrible ‘Oo track to Dave (if indeed ‘twas his name). It’s a personal fave of mine. Here’s to ya’ Seeker…(of porn)...   91
