iTunes Review

Returning to their rock roots after the ambitious (OK, pretentious) Tommy, this may be the most consistent album the Who ever released. Every song is a killer, and the album quickly became a staple at '70s FM radio as a result. The band was at full strength with drummer and resident lunatic Keith Moon pushing the rhythms, while Daltrey screams and preens, Townsend windmills those power chords, and bassist John Entwistle solidly holds down the bottom. "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Baba O' Riley," and "Behind Blue Eyes" are the songs that rock radio embraced the most, but there are other great tracks, including "Bargain," "Going Mobile," and "Love Ain't For Keeping," that make this a non-stop delight from start to finish. Listen to Who's Next and discover why the Who rivaled the Beatles, Stones and Led Zeppelin as one of the very best British rock bands.

The Ultimate Album
     

You just can't say enough about this album. It broke every sonic and musical barrier out there in 1971, and it still rocks strong today. This is The Who's ultimate album, the highest point in a gleaming history. From the first ARP syntesizer notes of Baba O'Riley to the crash and Roger's famous scream at the end of Won't Get Fooled again, the listener is transported on the ultimate album trip. There is not one bad song on this album, and that says something, considering the filler that many of The Who's contemporaries were slapping on vinyl. Who's Next is meant to be listened to whole, from the Baba O'Riley through Won't Get Fooled Again in one marathon listen, just because it is so good and so consistent. Considering that this is an album full of outtakes from a failed Rock Opera, the fact that it is so consistent throughout is a magnificent accomplishment. Unlike other albums where one or two songs were crafted as hits and the rest was filler, every single song on Who's Next is classic. The next time you hear Baba O'Riley on the radio after listening to this album, it is impossible not to be waiting for the intro chord of Won't Get Fooled again. You wait for it, even though you know radio won't play these two songs consecutively. Pete Townshend's songwriting skills really shine through on this album. Unlike on previous albums, where Pete was restrained to writing poppy two minute singles crafted for his Mod audience, or on Tommy, where Pete was writing for a character unlike himself and not related to his personal experience, Pete wrote for himself on this album. Although the songs were written for characters in a story, Pete himself stands out more than any other person. These songs are pure Pete, and provide the listener a window to Pete's soul. One cannot listen to Behind Blue Eyes without feeling the pain the Townshend was going through. Similarly, Pete's contempt for both authority figures and revolutionaries shows itself in Won't Get Fooled Again. Pete's idealistic views on religion and life, including his reverence toward the recently deceased Meher Baba, and his desire to "get in tune" are expressed in Bargain and Gettin' In Tune. The extra songs added in this reissue are strong also, especially Naked Eye. Naked Eye has the same feeling of Behind Blue Eyes and Won't Get Fooled again, and the live version here exceeds and studio version the band ever recorded. The Who rocks strong on this album, and it is definitely first on my "10 albums on a desert island" list. If you don't have this album, buy it now.

The best classic rock album ever?
     

The Lifehouse project, following up on the smash hit of Tommy, although it was never finished as a Who album, produced what can be seen as the best classic rock album of all time. From the insane synth of Baba O'Riley's intro, to the final drum strokes in Won't Get Fooled Again, this album is perfection. I find the extra tracks to be redundant and not worth your money, and would recommend only the first 9 original tracks. But these 9 tracks are perfection. From the quiet harmony of The Song is Over to the blaring french horn in My Wife, you can't possibly dislike this album. It started me off on The Who, and is a risk-free buy for anyone.

Definately in the Top 5 Best Rock Albums
     

No joke, this album is simply amazing. This is probably the 3rd best album ever written (1st being Abbey Road by the Beatles and 2nd being Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd). This album should be renamed The Best of The Who because every song on this album is a work of art on The Who's part (all it would be missing is Pinball Wizard and My Generation). But if you have to narrow it down, here's the best songs in order of how good they are: 1. Won't Get Fooled Again [Probably one of the best rock songs ever written.] 2. Baba O'Riley [Home of the world famous synth intro. Rock on Pete!!] 3. Behind Blue Eyes [Great accoustic intro. This is where Roger really shows off his vocal range.] 4. Gettin' in Tune [Beautiful piano intro that transverses into a really catchy chorus.] 5. My Wife [Nice fast paced electric guitar, for all you hard rockers.] 6. Bargain [Very catchy in general. Roger also does a bit of his trademarked screaming.] 7. The Song Is Over [Not a very fast paced song, but a great piano part] 8. Going Mobile [Nice synth/mouth harpish part near the end.] The Who gave the world some of the greatest music ever created when they made this album. This is unquestionably a masterpice of the ages. Rock on Pete!! Rock on Roger!! RIP Keith.

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Few bands in the history of rock & roll were riddled with as many contradictions as the Who. All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notoriously intense live performances demonstrated. The group was a whirlwind of activity, as the wild Keith Moon fell over his drum kit and Pete Townshend leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger Daltrey strutted across the stage with a thuggish menace, as bassist John Entwistle...
