Album Description
This fully comprehensive 2CD collection charts the career of one of the most significant and formidable bands of all time. All tracks have been 24-bit digitally remastered.
Amazon.com
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

 What can I say? It's the Who November 25, 2008
Good introducition to the band and probably the best compilation available to the casual fan. For a more complete collection of Who songs it would be better to buy some of their albums in addition to this one. Who's Next, Quadrophenia and Tommy are Essentials to any serious collector, but this collection will have pretty much all of the songs that anyone has heard on the radio. I'm not a fan of their 60's material, so that is the reason for the 4 stars. Otherwise, the Who made some great music. They have never been one of my favorite bands, but they were one of the biggest and most influential bands to come out of the 60's and into the 70's. Along with The Rolling Stones, Led Zepellin and Pink Floyd.
Who collection November 16, 2008
It brings back some memories. There is something missing. Not sure what it is.

This could have sounded better. Something was "off" with the sound on the cd. I still enjoyed this
