    Quoted from floyd1977:

    I don't know if people actually hate the song as much as they hate the "pinball wizard" cliche you often hear when someone finds out you're into pinball.
    I don't think Pinball Wizard makes my top 10 Who songs, but it's a good song.

    Yes.....I cringe every time I hear the song now. Everyone discovers you enjoy pinball...and the next thing you know, everyone sends you a link to the song, or you gives you a new nickname...like that person is sooooo clever.

    Edit: Whats even better, is when you start getting pachinko "pinball" referrals for sale. "Hey, knew you liked pinball....thought you would like this...."
