The Who's mighty catalog of beautiful, poignant, and often silly pop songs bashed out with Cassius Clay finesse has suffered in the past at the hands of multiple, butcher-shop best-ofs and horrible packaging. But this thrilling band--undeniably one of ye classicke rocke's greatest--gets the career-spanning entry-point compilation it deserves with the double-disc Ultimate Collection. The songs included here are no-brainers, for the most part--if they aren't huge hits like "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," or "Baba O'Riley," they're long-standing fan favorites such as "Boris the Spider," "Pure and Easy," and "Squeeze Box." And while this reviewer wishes different songs were chosen from Tommy, and more than one tune was gathered from their arguably finest (and definitely silliest) album, The Who Sell Out, this record really isn't for fans (aside from the total trainspotter types) but for newcomers. --Mike McGonigal

 Oldie But Goodie March 11, 2010
Janet G. Nackson
Brought back many memories of a phenomenal rock group. Good price for the number of selections provided. CD arrived quickly and was in perfect condition.
 this is rock and roll at its best!! March 8, 2010
Glenn Hoddle
This is rock and roll at its best. Great writing, which sets the Who apart from other acts, but the raw power they bring to their performances is beyond that of most bands. Even now, like their recent Super Bowl performance, they're still way above what most acts half their age are doing. This is a good collection of their greatest hits, which goes beyond previous collections and covers more of their history. If you've been a fan for a long time and have a lot of this stuff on vinyl or cassette, this is a good way to update your collection of Who music with a single purchase. If you're a new fan, this is probably the best "hits" package you'll find and will give you a good overview.
Not ULTIMATE, but Still Fabuous Nevertheless February 14, 2010
Home Away From Home (San Diego, CA)
The best compilation.
HOWEVER, rent the Amazing Journey (2-DVD) to get what's going on with this group and the music. Enlightening and beautifully done...for an die-hard fan as well as a novice.
Furthermore, don't miss Athena, Old Red Wine, Real God Looking Boy, and some of the fine solo work of the prolific and genius Townshend: Slit Skirts, Let My Love Open the Door, A Little is Enough, and Daltrey's: Avenging Annie, Mirror Mirror, Days of Light, AND most of the newer Endless Wire CD.
It's 40 years of rock 'n roll combined with food for the soul, all in one. Never tire of this stuff! I hope they come out with more new material in 2010.
A best of the who, two disc cd. January 15, 2010
Dr. Feelgood (USA)
There's nothing new here, and the who has many greatest hits collections, already available. Although, it appears that the songs have been remastered again, there is some slight tonal quality differences, on these recordings, that might make it worth checking out.
