Who's Next

Postby lukpac » Fri Jan 16, 2004 12:28 am

I love Who's Next.

There, I said it.

I love the songs, I love the performances, I love the production, and I love the sound. It just seems to work on every level.

It's all the more impressive when you consider that, with the exception of WGFA, the album was only recorded on *8-track*, something I'm still shocked to discover.

Excuse me while I turn it up to 11.

And, no, I haven't been drinking. Heavily.

Who's Next was the album that turned me into a music fiend. A friend of mine gave it to me for my birthday in 1985. (Along with a copy of the Cars self-titled debut, a very different but also wall-to-wall great album.) After one listen, I was doomed to spend the rest of my days doing things like posting to internet chat boards about how great Who's Next is.

I may forgive him someday for doing this to my life.

Only on the Bulgarian mid-70s 8-track reissue as a bonus track to pad out Program Three.
