Today's Listen - The Who: Who's Next

Q: What is Wooden Jesus listening to right now?
A: The Who - Who's Next (Remastered)


I found this baby in the back of my car this morning and threw it in while at work. I bought this used at Half Price Books a couple of years ago and I've probably listened to it 3 times since I bought it. "Who's Next" is a classic Who album that I unfortunately rarely find myself in the mood for. There's a bunch of classic songs: "Baba O'Riley", "Bargain", and "Won't Get Fooled Again" are probably the most famous tracks, and it's a great album. But I rarely find myself in the mood for this CD, possibly because there are some "slow" songs on the disc like "Love Ain't For Keeping" and "Getting In Tune" that really don't grab me.

Don't get me wrong - great album with a bunch of alternate tracks. But compared to what I usually listen to while working (Metallica, Black Label Society, Queens of the Stone Age) I just don't tend to throw this one in and go (possibly because I hear the "hits" all the time on classic rock radio). Maybe a few spins through this classic CD will change my mind, though. If you like The Who at all, you MUST have this CD.

I need to find another word other than "classic", don't I? :)
