在摇滚乐的历史上，很少有一支乐队象The Who那样充满着矛盾，四位成员的个性各不相同，从他们的激情现场演唱会上就不难发现这一点。在舞台上，他们就象一阵旋风：Pete Townshend时而抱着吉他跃向空中，时而夸张地象风车那样挥舞着拳头；Keith Moon常常激动得摔倒在他的鼓边；主音Roger Daltrey总喜欢趾高气扬地在台上踱来踱去；只有贝司手John Entwhistle静静站在一旁，倒显得象是这阵旋风的中心。迥异的性格经常会发生碰撞，但这些矛盾也因此在10多年里创造了出色的音乐。 　　  　　这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第28位。 　　  　　Who's Next is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Who, released in August 1971. The album had origins in a rock opera conceived by Pete Townshend called Lifehouse as an attempt to follow Tommy. The ambitious, complex project did not come to fruition at the time and instead, many of the songs written for the project were compiled onto Who's Next as a collection of unrelated songs. After difficulty with initial recording sessions at the New York Record Plant, events stabilized with the arrival of producer Glyn Johns, who worked on the finished album. The album featured the group's first use of the synthesizer, particularly on the tracks "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again". 　　  　　The album was a critical and commercial success when it was released, and has been certified 3× platinum by the RIAA. It continues to be critically acclaimed and has been reissued on CD several times, adding additional material intended for the Lifehouse project.
