CD was delivered within 4 days all the way accross The Pond and was in excellent condition just as described - super service, many thanks .


Defective
The CD was new and in original wrapping. Very disappointed in the CD which we received. However, when the CD is played there is only one track. The right channel is missing completely. We originally thought our player had broken. However, other CD's played just fine. We then tried the CD in four different units without success.


It's good, but 'Ultimate Collection' is better
Their songs, like 'Won't Get Fooled Again' and 'Magic Bus' still are played on classic rock stations across the country every day. The Who's music has made classic rock a lot better.

This set, 1996's 'My Generation: The Very Best of The Who' remains the best single disc compilation, but unlike other bands, The Who cannot really be sized up onto one CD. But, I give MCA credit for trying.

And, despite that, they did a pretty good job. 'My Generation,' 'Magic Bus,' '5:15,' 'I Can't Explain,' 'Who Are You,' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again' all appear on this set. And, MCA did a great job remastering the songs, so the sound quality is supurb.

But there is plenty missing. Where are 'Behind Blue Eyes,' 'Bargain,' 'The Kids Are Alright,' 'Slip Kid,' 'Love Reign O'er Me,' 'Eminence Front' and 'Sister Disco'? And, why is 'Who Are You' EDITED!!! Come on, MCA!

Overall, there are much better Who sets out there. If you want nothing but the hits, buy 'The Ultimate Collection. ' For casual Who fans, that is all you will probably ever need. And for fans who want their deep album cuts with a few hits mixed in, buy 'Hooligans. '

Recommended for the easily-pleased Who fan. .


Best CD
It has all the top hits and the sound and quality is first rate. This is the best WHO, CD in my opinion. I downloaded the CD onto my MP3 and listen to it at least three times a week when working out at the gym. It not only entertains me but gets me pumped for the workout.


WAY Out of Date
Even when I bought it, I thought it was a regrettable compromise. I bought this CD long before "The Who: The Ultimate Collection" came out. . . sure it was missing some extremely awesome songs, but it was the best compilation and I didn't want to buy too many Who CDs. Now of course (or rather since 2002), The Who: The Ultimate Collection has made "My Generation" a complete waste of money.

DO NOT BUY THIS CD (Unless you get it used for a 1 or 2 dollars, anything more and it is not worth it).
