So we get somemore Who? As far as the irrelevent "post-Entwhistle" 21st centruy songs, that someone commented as being "forgettable" I would have to disagree. So we get somemore Who? Who should be complaining about that? This is possibly the greatest rock band ever, and folks complain. "A Real Good Looking Boy" is a fantastic piece of music, and one of those love songs that no one gets to hear on the radio, but most guys would probably score points playing it for their significant other. The line up on this album gives the listener classic songs that no one should get tired of hearing.

CD purchase
This CD was just what we were looking for. Service was excellent as always with Amazon.
Great Who compilation of old and 'new"
In addition, two newer tracks not found on any album of new songs are thrown in. This is a great compilation of some of the Who's best tracks from classic, to mondern. Real Good Looking Boy is a great song that matches just about any Who classic. Also included is a song reflecting on Entwhistle. .
For the casual Who fan...
With any compilation release there are the omitted selections, this one not withstanding (Baba O'Riley) although you get most of the essentials that will fit on one disc. This is another best of that is not essential, but certainly a decent release for the casual fan. There are even two newer recordings on this offering. It's a good place to start, but there are more complete compilations that have been released. .
good for the casual fan
this cd contains most of the who's biggest hit and is a good cd for the casual fan who only knows the who from their classic rock radio station. this was the first who cd i bought i loved it and never looked back. if your anything more than a casual fan i'd recommend the 2 disc ultimate collection which contains all twice as many songs as you have here. either way this is a good cd and a great intro into the world of the who.
