The Seeker is a powerful Hard Rock/Power Pop track written by Pete Townshend during The Who's transition from 1960s Mod/Pop Art Rock to a grander Rock Opera and Hard Rock sound. The song reflects Townshend's philosophical searching and struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world, featuring lines that reference God, Pop, and cultural figures like Bob Dylan and The Beatles. Although Townshend later claimed it was one of his least favorite compositions, "The Seeker" remains a classic The Who track,
