The Who continued their run of excellent albums with Who’s Next. It includes a wide variety of tracks from dynamic rockers to more introspective songs. Won’t Get Fooled Again reached No. 9 in the UK and No. 15 in the US. (US:4 UK:1)

“A classic hard rock album where most of the songs have became staples of classic rock stations. Some of the best rock songs ever are included here.”

"Baba O'Riley is one of the best rock songs of all time, the musicianship is astounding. The delightfully bitter Won't Get Fooled Again is another brilliant tune that just about anyone can hum. This has everything anyone could want in a rock album and then some. If you like music at all you need this album, sheer perfection.”

“The thing that makes this album so great is the way the lesser songs start to take over the record after you've been listening for a while. Any of these songs would have been the highlight of another album; here, they're ‘filler’. Who's Next still sounds as fresh as the day I got it.”

“This is just one of the best rock albums ever released, simply because every track does just that, it really, really rocks. There are also some really intelligent arrangements throughout, showing that The Who weren't just brainless thrashers, with some terrific playing, writing and producing.”

“Who's Next is the most dynamic and hard rocking studio album from The Who with many classics on it. It begins with the iconic synthesizers of Baba O'Riley and ends with the raging scream of Won't Get Fooled Again. But in between there are many fantastic songs like the beautiful Behind Blue Eyes or the very catchy Bargain.”

“This album is a very eclectic collection of different songs, the pinnacle of 70s testosterone rock. No more Mod rockers or introspective adolescents, they are now tough, in your face hard rockers, and it is great.”

“A classic rock album filled with classic tunes. Everything played tightly, even the jamming parts. This album quite clearly shows that there was so much talent within the band, yet they keep things quite simple and sing along friendly, with at the same time many elements, which almost make it borderline progressive rock.”
