Great song! Here's a bit of rock music trivia known to Atlanta fans. Baba O'riley was the very first song played on air in 1974 on the "new" radio station WKLS 96 Rock. Thirty Two years later in 2006 this station again played Baba as their last song when they signed off. Later in 2006 the station was replaced by Project 9-6-1 (a play on the 96.1 call sign) Active Rock and their very first song on air was Metallica's "Enter Sandman".

In NYC, a few decades back, there was a classical music station WQXR. When it became WQIV (a progressive rock station), they opened with ELO's "Roll Over Beethoven". The classical station had Beethoven's 5th scheduled at that time.
