Rolling Stone

The Who's Next,regardless of what you may have been led to believe to the contrary, is neither the soundtrack to the realization of Pete Townshend's apparently-aborted Hollywood dream, the greatest live album in the history of the universe, nor ...more

The Daily Vault Album Reviews

A couple of months ago, when I reviewed The Who'sIt's Hardon these pages (and subsequently tore it to shreds), devoted reader and admitted Who fanatic Andrew Santoni wrote to me, wondering why I chose that particular album over others that ...more

Yahoo! Music

Originally released in 1971, and the result of some creative 'salvaging' by the band and producer Glyn Johns following the collapse of the ambitious 'Lifehouse' project, 'Who's Next' today stands as a cornerstone album in rock. ...more
