Crawling from the Wreckage

There's an old saying that advises us to aim for the stars at all times. The idea is that by doing so, even a failure might land you on the moon, at least. Here's an example of that idea in action - "Who's Next" is without a doubt one of the most magnificent records in the magnificent career of the Who, and yet it's really just the debris of a Pete Townshend project that collapsed under its own weight. Fans of this band already know that in the years after "Tommy", Townshend … more

The Best? You Better, You Bet!

Why is The Who's 'Who's Next' one of the most perennially played CD selections on FM radio? Surely it has retained the richness of sound that hasn't dated the music for over thirty years. With intricate music, spare, yet memorable lyrics, and powerful vocals and guitars, it has all the elements of a worthy classic rock album. 'Who's Next' may or may not be a concept album, but it doesn't really meander ever really. It seems to make a post-sixties statement about the meaning of power and what's essential … more

Hard rock masterpiece and the band's finest achievement

Originally intended to be a sci-fi rock opera titled "Lifehouse", WHO'S NEXT is a classic that ranks amongst the finest rock albums ever recorded. It's also the greatest album from The Who - and that's saying something. This is due in part to the variety of emotions on this album, ranging from scathing anger on the classic "Behind Blue Eyes" to free-spirited love on "The Song is Over". "Baba O'Reilly", as grand a song as The Who ever recorded, opens the album. There's very little time between that … more

It Might Be Better Than Sex!!!!

Pros: It could be the perfect rock and roll album Cons: It leaves you wanting more The Bottom Line: The one album I ALWAYS keep near me to play. It came from the ashes that was a movie project called Lighthouse. This story by Pete Townshend was a futuristic look at a place where pollution had taken it's toll. Everyone had to travel in sealed garments or vehicles. All living quarters and public buildings were self … more

Classic Album That Got Better With The New Bonus Tracks

This is one winner of a recording. These songs just dominated FM radio throughout the 70's and I have fond memories growing up to classics like Baba O'Reilly, Bargain, and Won't Get Fooled Gain. Even the lesser tracks like Love Aint For Keeping and My Wife have alot of hidden beauty. And the Bonus Tracks such as Naked Eye, Water, and I Don't Even Know Myself blow away the best recordings of Def Leopard and Whitesnake with the upmost ease.
