‘Baba O’Riley’ — The Who
Meher Baba’s name influenced Pete Townshend of the Who, an Indian spiritual master. Terry Riley is credited with being the first to use a minimalist composition style in this piece. There was a time when he combined the two, resulting in the name “Baba O’Riley.” It was released as a single in 1971. Roger Daltrey described the song as a warning to children who used social media excessively in 2018.
