16. You had to be there to appreciate  the  jist of the times.
17. I prefer this version so much because: a) I think that the vocals of Limp Bizkit's version are straight up whiney, while this is although about a sad subject matter, powerful. They sound a lot more natural on this track too, where Limp sounds very electronically altered. b) There's some weird synth or bass shit vibrating in the background of the Limp version and it just does not match the tone that this song should set, especially in that intro. c) It's a goddamn original! The Who created this and tailored their sound in a piece of their design. Limp Bizkit took this near masterpiece and did it but just slightly worse while adding nothing of real significance.
    Kudos to Limp Bizkit for their taste in music and I don't hate them because they did a cover of a song that I like, but it's astonishing that this is less popular than the original and I just think that it's a shame that some people don't even know of this version especially since I think it's quite a bit better.
18. quein ellos son los verdaderos autores? igual me gusta mas la version de Bizkit, no quita el merito a the who porque crear tan linda cancion
19. I'm going to learn this song just so I can play it at 0.75 time sitting solemnly beneath a dim, lonely cascade of light upon a stage filling the room with melancholy before jumping up to play the breakdown at normal speed. Seeming to lift people from their lamentations they will gladly embrace the energy just before I slam it back into 0.75 speed and end on the depressing note of the lonely nature of life and the universe, hauntingly repeating the last line with ever more hushed and oppressed tones before echoing into nothing.

    "No one knows what Its like to be the batman"
