Quadrophenia

Quadrophenia (1973) more music like this

by The Who

Pete Townshend revisited the rock opera concept with another double-album opus, this time built around the story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the mid-'60s. If anything, this was a more ambitious project than Tommy, given added weight by the fact that the Who weren't devising some fantasy but were re-examining the roots of their own ...

The Who Sell Out

The Who Sell Out (1967) more music like this

by The Who

Pete Townshend originally planned The Who Sell Out as a concept album of sorts that would simultaneously mock and pay tribute to pirate radio stations, complete with fake jingles and commercials linking the tracks. For reasons that remain somewhat ill defined, the concept wasn't quite driven to completion, breaking down around the middle of side ...

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy (1971) more music like this

by The Who

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy has the distinction of being the first in a long line of Who compilations. It also has the distinction of being the best. Part of the reason why it is so successful is that it has an actual purpose. Meaty was designed as a collection of the group's singles, many of which never appeared on albums. The Who recorded their ...

Rushmore

Rushmore (1999) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The likable and jovial soundtrack to the American cult film, Rushmore, zeroes in on swingin' London, in particular, the mod scene of the mid-/late '60s. Thankfully, all the heavies are included: Creation, the Kinks, the Who, the Faces. More thankfully, however, are the atypical song choices: the Kinks' "Nothing in This World Can Stop Me Worrin' ...

Who's Greatest Hits

Who's Greatest Hits (1983) more music like this

by The Who

Following their "farewell tour," MCA released yet another Who collection, the first one ever titled Greatest Hits. The compilers don't take the title literally. Sure, many of the group's biggest hits ("Substitute," "My Generation," "Magic Bus," "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Love, Reign O'er Me," "Squeeze Box," "Who Are You") are ...

Who Are You [Bonus Tracks]

Who Are You [Bonus Tracks] (1996) more music like this

by The Who

On the Who's final album with Keith Moon, their trademark honest power started to get diluted by fatigue and a sense that the group's collective vision was beginning to fade. As instrumentalists, their skills were intact. More problematic was the erratic quality of the material, which seemed torn between blustery attempts at contemporary relevance ...

Then and Now: 1964-2004

Then and Now: 1964-2004 (2004) more music like this

by The Who

When Then and Now: Maximum Who was released in March 2004, there were no less than four Who hits compilations on the market (including the classic singles collection Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, which was available as an import), which raises the question: why another hits compilation, especially one that shares its title with Sanctuary's midline ...

Live at Leeds

Live at Leeds (1970) more music like this

by The Who

Rushed out in 1970 as a way to bide time as the Who toiled away on their follow-up to Tommy, Live at Leeds wasn't intended to be the definitive Who live album, and many collectors maintain that the band had better shows available on bootlegs. But those shows weren't easily available whereas Live at Leeds was, and even if this show may not have ...

Thirty Years of Maximum R&B (1994) more music like this

by The Who

This four-CD collection does include all of the Who's big hits and the lion's share of their key album tracks. Previously unreleased rarities include some interesting selections (the '60s outtakes "Early Morning Cold Taxi" and "Melancholia"), but these bits and pieces, which include some live versions, commercials, Keith Moon sketches, and the ...

Quick One (Happy Jack) [Bonus Tracks]

Quick One (Happy Jack) [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this

by The Who

The Who's second album is a less impressive outing than their debut, primarily because, at the urging of their managers, all four members penned original material (though Pete Townshend wrote more than anyone else). The pure adrenaline of My Generation also subsided somewhat as the band began to grapple with more complex melodic and lyrical themes ...

The Who Sings My Generation

The Who Sings My Generation (1965) more music like this

by The Who

An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record. Pete Townshend's exhilarating chord crunches and guitar distortions threaten to leap off the grooves on "My Generation" and "Out in the Street"; Keith Moon attacks ...

Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2003) more music like this

by The Who

The Who's Live at the Royal Albert Hall captures a charity concert for a cancer organization the reunited group performed in November of 2000. Given the band's spotty track record in their farewell tours and reunions of the '80s and '90s, it's easy for some longtime fans to be skeptical of the musical merits of the triple-disc hybrid SACD release ...

Live at Leeds [Deluxe Edition] (2001) more music like this

by The Who

This two-disc set should be the final word regarding the Who's February 14, 1970, performance at Leeds University. The main impetus for consumers -- who may have repurchased this title in its various formats -- is having the entire Tommy rock opera intact. While impressive, that performance merely scratches the surface of the multifaceted sonic ...

Nuggets, Vol. 2: Original Artyfacts From the British Empire & Beyond (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Nuggets, Lenny Kaye's original 1972 compilation of garage and psych, loomed large in the record collectors consciousness, canonizing a portion of rock that was originally laughed off while setting the standard for reissues. Rhino's 1998 box set of the same name expanded the scope of that record, replicating most of the original while gloriously ...

Tommy [Deluxe Edition] (2003) more music like this

The two-CD deluxe edition of the Who's masterpiece -- a hybrid playable on both SACD and standard CD players -- is bigger, but not necessarily better. Audiophiles with the appropriate equipment will welcome the chance to hear it as remastered and remixed by Pete Townshend himself, in both stereo and (with the exception of five Townshend solo demos ...

The BBC Sessions (2000) more music like this

by The Who

A fine compilation of 1965-73 BBC performances, the majority of the tracks hailing from 1965-67, although some are drawn from 1970 and 1973. As one of the best live bands ever, the Who as expected come through pretty well in the live-in-the-studio environment, although the arrangements usually stick close to the records. Most of the songs were ...

Who's Better, Who's Best (1988) more music like this

by The Who

Who's Better, Who's Best is a compilation of the Who's best-known songs, containing all of the familiar items -- "I Can't Explain," "I Can See for Miles," "Pinball Wizard," "My Generation," "Substitute" -- but presented without much care. The album is further plagued by the presence of some filler tracks that really don't deserve to be on any best ...

The Kids Are Alright (1979) more music like this

by The Who

Like the film itself, the soundtrack to the Who's Kids Are Alright documentary is frustrating even as it pleases, since it falls short of being definitive. If the film was supposed to explain the excitement and history of the Who, tracing their evolution from mod superstars to arena rock gods, it somehow failed by just not quite gelling together. ...

Hooligans (1982) more music like this

by The Who

Hooliganstakes a slightly different angle than previous compilations, concentrating on the group's '70s album rock heyday. Only three songs ("I Can't Explain," "I Can See for Miles, " "Pinball Wizard") from the '60s are included, with much of the album being devoted to radio hits and album tracks, with three of non-LP singles, "The Relay, " "Let's ...

From the Beginning (1967) more music like this

by The Small Faces

Another remastering of a classic piece of mid-'60s British rock & soul, and as important and enjoyable a record as, say, the Beatles' Rubber Soul or the Stones' Aftermath, even if the album itself was slapped together by Decca in an effort to undercut the band's first new release for rival Immediate Records in 1967. Steve Marriott's honest, ...
