most people look at pete as a true guitarist: he plays the lead like rhythm, but, on songs like this, which may be my favourite song by the who...his finger picking (banjo-ing)...is amazing, and unprecedented. quadrophenia, in my opinion is his best work, and this stand out song, is just brilliant. if dylan is the american poet, then pete is the english.

[@Goatchild90]

One of the greatest songwriters of all time. Period.

[@nezbit8989]

That song is tattooed in the tapestry of my youth

[@geraldking4080]

Mr. Townsend is the greatest composer of the rock and roll age.

[@F3502000]

Pete is that one guy I would most want to see in that type of setting. Just an acoustic guitar and him singing The Who tunes.

[@devilsforkdigital1490]

He missed out the second verse....

[@NicksSkillz]

I'm still screaming out these lyrics like a maniac

[@nickj1706]

one of my fav songs ever

[@JoelBryant1960]

Pete is a damn genius. Quadrophenia is a masterpiece

[@joeh2690]

This is just proof of this mans genius. Wow... just wow... Off the charts cool.

"Every year is the same. I feel it again." True, so far. I will rue the day that "loneliness starts sinking in", when I, a millennial, lose Townshend. The man is 70 years old, and is as important to me now as when I discovered him when he was 60; more so. Now I play the guitar, and I play it like Townshend junior. Flamenco, no thirds, sus chords. I do it all. I'd love to develop my own style, but I always look to Townshend for how I should play. He's the Stanley Kubrick of music. This man should, will, go down in history as a 20th century Mozart. The Who are so unknown to people my age, 1990+.

[@gaylasmith5279]

The man is a brilliant songwriter. "Quadrophenia" got me through my teen years, for sure. Should be required listening in high schools across America.

"I've got a Gibson without a case, but I can't get that even tan look on my face" genius!

[@aninverse]

To every human that ever doubted themselves, a mantra gift from Master Townshend: "I can see, this is me. And I will be, you'll all see, I'm the One"

Last time i seen Peter was with The Who,would be nice see him at the end doing the 360 degree windmill. Still going strong and look good.

[@SN2903]

The Who are the best band of all time. It's that simple and Quadrophenia is the best rock album ever.

[@GravityBoy72]

From one of the greatest albums of all time.

[@gr.vo.3058]

Thank you Pete. For a life long of giving and sharing your music with the world. Long live the WHO!

Pete Townsend is every bit as amazing an artist as anyone in the history of Rock. The emotional depths he reaches in his music are second to none. I love his solo work and his demos of who songs as much as The Who music. I think he could have been something of a Dylan, Young, Bowie as a solo artist.

i love his voice like i love my mother. thank you Pete.
