Rock legend Pete Townshend of The Who turned 69 on Monday, putting him a considerable distance away from the "teenage wasteland."
But just as fresh as the image of Townshend's signature windmill-style guitar playing is the energizing jolt from "Baba O'Riley," The Who's iconic anthem that Townshend wrote.
To celebrate the young-at-heart rocker's birthday, we rounded up this Music Monday playlist of essential classic rock anthems that have been bringing joy to sold-out arenas and karaoke bars for decades.
So crank up the volume, stretch out your shoulders and get ready to do your best air guitar in honor of Townshend.
