Advantages: 39 genuinely great songs
Disadvantages: doesnt include latest album

...the who - ultimate collection is a double CD greatest hits album for British rock band the who. contained here are 39 tracks a very high and consistent quality. all the recognisable songs are here including 'my generation', 'wont get fooled again' and 'pinball wizard'. the songwriting largely by pete townshend errs towards a narrative style. townshend unique guitar style is great throughout and the high quality musicianship really is a constant in this collection. keith moon is at his energetic best. john entwistle thumps the bass and roger daltry finds a voice for every song. the inlay includes a detailed band biography along with lots of excellent photos. unfortunately this album was published before the whos most recent album endless wire, so there may be a couple of songs missing from your ideal who collection. overall this is...
