The Who: The Ultimate Collection

Product Description:

Amazon.com:
The Who's mighty catalog of beautiful, poignant, and often silly pop songs bashed out with Cassius Clay finesse has suffered in the past at the hands of multiple, butcher-shop best-ofs and horrible packaging. But this thrilling band--undeniably one of ye classicke rocke's greatest--gets the career-spanning entry-point compilation it deserves with the double-disc Ultimate Collection. The songs included here are no-brainers, for the most part--if they aren't huge hits like "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," or "Baba O'Riley," they're long-standing fan favorites such as "Boris the Spider," "Pure and Easy," and "Squeeze Box." And while this reviewer wishes different songs were chosen from Tommy, and more than one tune was gathered from their arguably finest (and definitely silliest) album, The Who Sell Out, this record really isn't for fans (aside from the total trainspotter types) but for newcomers.--Mike McGonigal

Rating: - The Who - Ultimate"Great Collection"
I purchased this collection because I did not have a good archive of Who songs spanning their entire career.The last collection I had purchased was "The Who's Greatest Hits" (on vinyl) many years ago which contained only about 10 or 12 songs.I purchased the two disc DVD of the "The Kid's Are Alright" a few years ago which I have enjoyed watching tremendously and wanted to update my music CD collection of The Who. I would highly recommend to anyone to purchase this set if you are into this band. ... Read More
