This week's album is a true classic. Who's Next by The Who, one of the greatest rock bands ever, really doesn't need a lot of commentary on my part. Basically, the original album had 9 songs. Four of those were massive (Baba O'Riley, Bargain, Behind Blue Eyes and Won't Get Fooled Again) and the other five are exceptional album cuts. That's it, I can't add anything to that, so I won't try. Enjoy the album.
By the way, the artwork is iconic, and you can get yourself a brand new, remastered copy with 7 bonus tracks for about 12 dollars (that is if you actually don't own it for some strange reason).

I just realized why CRR went down. Its because they ranked this album 8. Members left in droves after that mistake. Thankfully this site rectified that... oh wait! Were all mostly from CRR... and we didnt see it as #1 in our poll either!!! oh well, you all got it wrong. Now if we can hide this fact from new members then we'll be fine... This is and should always be #1
My favorite all time track is Baba O'Riley followed closely by tracks 2 through 9.
Just a note for RJ: In 96, I went to see the KISS reunion show, Won't get fooled again was playing when they came on stage. I found it rather rude of them to not wait until the song had finished to take the stage. Good thing there was a group of ladies in the front row willing to display their, well you know... Made me feel better about the the auspicious start.... Just sayin'
I love ladies that display. And I agree, wait 'til the song is over. And speaking of Kiss and Won't Get Fooled Again, did you ever see them in the mid 80's when they actually covered the song? I thought they did a very decent and respectful version. And if memory serves me right, Paul, Gene and Eric Carr traded off lead vocals. And have you seen the current show? I kind of like the way they spice up Lick It Up with a teaser of WGFA in it. I've never cared for LIU (the song), so it makes it much more tolerable for me. I'd love to have heard a proper studio cover version when Paul could still sing.
And let me be the first to say, in a thread dedicated to The Who, that Kiss rules!
I'm going to check, but isn't there a bunch of Lifehouse stuff on a certain CD version of Who's Next? I have it and it's too friggin'g hot to run downstairs, look and then run back upstairs....and then just noticed Rjhog mentioned the 7 extra tracks and I believe that be them.
AND WHY RUIN A PERFECTLY GREAT POST BY MENTIONING KISS???????????????????????????????
...better than Kiss' Crazy Nights??????
