The Who's fourth UK studio album, Who's Next, arrived in 1971, showcasing a potent distillation of hard rock and the band's increasingly ambitious sonic experimentation.
- The album was largely built from outtakes from the Lifehouse project, a rock opera concept that Pete Townshend abandoned.
- The iconic single 'Baba O'Riley' features synthesizers, a first for the band, and became a staple of classic rock radio.
- Despite being a critical and commercial success, Who's Next was initially met with some confusion by fans expecting a rock opera.
The Who are a British rock band formed in London in 1964, known for their high-energy live performances and their blend of hard rock and power pop. They emerged from the mod scene to become one of the defining arena rock acts of the 1970s.
