I downloaded FLESH the other day... you HAVE been a bad boy! Go to my room!
"Teenage Wasteland" is actually titled "Baba O'Riley," from the 1971 album "Who's Next," widely regarded as The Who's finest album. "Who's Next" is actually the shards of a bigger project, called "Lifehouse," an ambitious double album/film/live performance/multimedia project that collapsed in 1971. Some of the songs wound up on "Who's Next," some as singles in 1971-72 (back in the day when a single could exist independent of an album) and some trickled out on various Who albums for the remainder of the '70's. Some weren't heard until the Who CD reissue program of the '90's, when they appeared as bonus tracks.
There is a completely different song called "Teenage Wasteland," that would've been the lead track on "Lifehouse" but was apparently never recorded by The Who. It only appears (in demo form) on Pete Townshend's 6-CD box, "Lifehouse Chronicles," which came out in 2000.
