A milestone that never lost its power or immediacy. People who weren't even born in 1971 flock to see The Who when they tour and know every word of the more popular tracks off of this record. The remnants of the Lifehouse project were hammered into shape and produced an album that changed not just approaches to composition in that era, but how people related to music. Not bad for some Shepherds Bush kids who started out playing the same covers as all the other UK bands, Or, in simpler language, "wow."
