The Who: Who's Next

This listening was inspired by a young lady's Dr. Who T-shirt which was a take off of this album cover.  Again, this is another record that I got from my mother's record collection back in 1986 or 1987.  I was never much of a Who fan, I have NO idea why.  This album never got a lot of play and so I figured that I would slap on

The Who: Who's Next

I'll be damned if not every song on this album is a classic.  Seriously, not a single dud on this album.  Some band's have a "Best Of" record where the first two songs are really good and then the rest are just songs that the band likes.  This entire album could be a best of.  In fact, I should check and make sure that's not what this is. 

Side A

1. Baba O'Reily
2. Bargain
3. Love Ain't For Keeping
4. My Wife
5. The Song is Over

Side B

1. Getting in Tune
2. Going Mobile
3. Behind Blue Eyes
4. Won't Get Fooled Again

My only problem with listening to this album is that I can't get friggin' David Caruso's face out of my head when I hear it.  Every CSI show has used a song off this album and it will take many, many listens for me to stop associating these guys with CSI.  This is straight ahead, in your face Rock and Roll... more than Zeppelin (though Zeppelin is still my favorite due to their diversity, instrumentation, mystique, etc) and more than anything out today.  If you are looking to pick up ONE album by the Who, make it this one.  It makes me want to go listen to my other Who albums to see if they're as good as this but I'll have to leave that for another day.
