Summary: Nice compilation
All the big hits and some lesser known tunes as well. A must for devotees of the British Invasion era.

Summary: Great music, completely unlistenable remastering
I was recommended this collection as the best compilation of The Who hits. And indeed, the selection of songs is great.

But what does that matter when the listening experience is dull and flat. If you turn it up, everything is getting loud and tiresome with no impact. If you turn it down there is still no impact, and it is still tiresome and dull. I simply can not listen to this. It may work as background noise when you are cleaning your house, but for an enjoyable listening experience, go digging for original, non-remastered releases.

True musical enjoyment is impossible with this release.

Summary: Great Start - Ignore the Battle
I have to say, I'm laying somewhere in the middle of these extremists, I know I'm not the only one. The Battle between classic music and contemporary will wage to the ends of the Earth. Note, I'm listening to Hooligans on vinyl as I'm writing this. Seems to be necessary to point this out, because this is the reason to buy this album.

I purchased this because I owned all of my Who albums on Vinyl and I was looking for something a little easy and portable and it did the trick, but I was a Who fan to begin with. If your looking to get into the Who, this is a good start, it is necessary to pick up Who's Next, Tommy, etc. And if your really curious about rock music history pick up some of their embarrassing albums like It's Hard. You'll get the true idea of a band, these guys were very talented (the surviving still are), and tried a lot, and were for the most part successful, some of their music doesn't translate well to today, nothing wrong with that, even the sacred Beatles made some missteps.

I just hope to help some people that want o see what the Who were all about, to decide if this is a worthwhile album, it is.

I just wanted to say a few things to the people warring on this review site. The Who are a great band, but they are not the end all of music, they had their influences (Buddy Holly, Muddy Waters), as well as influenced many others, Pete Townsend himself said that he feels that "Nevermind the Bollocks here's the Sex Pistols" was the best album ever made. Fact is, the Who influenced and they were in turn influenced themselves, they are an important cog in the ever moving machine that is modern music and art. This album is a decent introduction, by no means complete, but that's why it's an intoduction. Listen to it yourself and ignore all the hype of "best band ever" or "this sucks check out dire straits". These people just want attention. Check it out yourself and see if they appeal to you.

I know I've loved them for the better part of my life.

Summary: A good sampling from one of the all time greats
Good sampling of music from one of the all time greatest rock bands ever! It shows their versatility and abilities. Not all inclusive, but still a great sampling.

Summary: Indeed, The Ultimate Collection
Make sure you have a great stero system and turn up the volume.
Sit back, grab a beer and take a trip down memory lane as you listen to one of the greatest rock bands. Timeless classics!
