The Who — Who's Next

Who's Next

The Who
Rock 1971

Who's Next is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Who, released on 2 August 1971, by Track Records in the United Kingdom and by Decca Records in the United States. It developed from the aborted Lifehouse project, a multi-media rock opera conceived by the group's guitarist Pete Townshend as a follow-up to the band's 1969 album Tommy. The project was cancelled owing to its complexity and to conflicts with Kit Lambert, the band's manager, but the group salvaged some of the songs, without the connecting story elements, to release as their next album.

“'Machine Gun Etiquette' is the punk rock version of 'Who's Next,' so if you put these two together, these are the two best rock records ever made, as far as I'm concerned, ever made, man.”
