I'd consider Baba O'Riley more groundbreaking, and more influential.

Only the entire psychedelic movement of the late sixties.

Hmmm, let's see what Baba O'Riley influenced? A short lived musical movement, or an entire musical style that's still commonly used.

If you are referring to hard rock, that style was already in place, although its a fine example of it. If you are referring to another style, please, do tell.

Synthesizer style. Not genre or sub-genre.

So let's see if I've got this straight..
 
Tomorrow Never Knows influenced a whole genre of music
 
Baba O'Riley influenced a particular way of playing a synthesizer
 
Yes, I can see that I was totally wrong and bow to your superior knowledge..Confused

A genre that lasted, what, a few years?

It gradually merged with some other genres to become prog.
 
And by the way, I've been sitting here trying to think of any other great songs that have a repetitive sequencer based synthesizer line playing the same thing over and over again throughtout a whole song and can't think of a single one besides Won't Get Fooled Again. Maybe some dance bands or electronica?

Come to think of it, I'd say most Dance and Elctronica bands use synthesizers. I believe Rush and a few other prog bands usd them as well. But I think this is getting pretty off-topic now.

Keith Emerson was using synths before the Who, and more prog bands were influenced by his style of playing rather than the style in Baba O'Riley.

Keith Emerson isn't the point of the arguement, so it doesn't matter if he was more influential.

The point was who was more influential, and I have yet to see how the Who was more influential than the Beatles.
