Amazon.co.uk Review
The Ultimate Who Collection kicks off with the three-minute pop gems of their early days such as "I Can't Explain", "Substitute" and the definitive anthem of the time "My Generation". "I Can See For Miles" heralds the band's coming of age preceding songs like "Magic Bus" and the classics from Tommy including "See Me, Feel Me" and of course "Pinball Wizard". Further highlights on disc one are "Summertime Blues" from the Live at Leeds album where Roger has never sounded in finer voice, and perhaps one of the best rock moments ever "Won't Get Fooled Again". Disc two includes less well known hits but does boast the best bits from their film Quadrophenia. Still as powerful without the visuals, they attack "Love Reign O'er Me" like they really mean every single note and word. During the 70s they toned down the raw rock they captured at the turn of the decade and embraced the pop sensibility of their youth, settling for a handsome blend of very British guitar pop and solid power chords best defined by "You Better You Bet". Unlike the Beatles or Rolling Stones, The Who's image has remained anti-establishment despite being no less gentrified than their wrinkly peers, probably due to their music sounding as angsty and passionate now as it did over 30 years ago. --David Trueman

 All the best tracks in one place July 26, 2010
Gear Monster (London, UK)
This CD has now been playing in my car for weeks - even my 6 year old is getting to know The Who and beginning to sing along! This album brings the best tracks together, there will always be songs I and others could say are "missing" from a "best of", but this gets pretty close - highly recommeded.
stands test of time! July 10, 2010

Their most complete "hits" collection ! June 17, 2010
Luile (PTY)
This is by far the best collection of The Who s' hits. Although some charting songs are missing: Circles, Dogs, I am Free, Overture, Heaven & Hell, Postcard, Dont Let Go the Coat and The Relay. This is the only compilation that includes at least 3 important John Entwistle songs.
The ultimate cd from the ultimate rock band! June 10, 2010
Mr. A. Carnegie
