The Who. Four members, two dead, one questioned over internet paedophilia and one a bit handy with his fists who once played Chesney Hawkes' dad in a film called "Buddy". It shouldn't work, but it does. THIS IS, AFTER ALL, THE WHO!
If it wasn't for 1996's "Who's Better Who's Best" and 2002's "The Ultimate Collection", this would have been a great idea, but three best ofs in eight years smells a little of sell out. However, they ARE headlining this year's Isle Of Wight Festival and this compilation has presumably been released to coincide with that and help recruit a younger audience.
The usual suspects are included: the stuttering "My Generation", the proto-Brit Pop "I Can't Explain", the dire "Squeeze Box" (about an accordion), "I Can See For Miles", "Substitute" and the comeback 1980 single - and best of the bunch - "You Better You Bet".
Who fans, of course, will already own most these tracks and the two new tracks "Old Red Wine" and "Real Good Looking Boy" just about justifiy the new admission price.
Newcomers looking for a band who inspired the Jam, mid 90's Britpop and the current crop of indie miserables from Snow Patrol to The Zutons, could do worse than start here.
