None.

Personal Review:
I’m sure I’ll say this more than once… I’m a HUGE fan of the Who. Like, insanely huge. I loved Quadrophenia (album & film), I loved Tommy (the album, not the film – that was TERRIBLE!) – Anyways, “Who’s Next” the Who’s 1971 album which features famous songs like “Baba O’Riley” (commonly known as “Teenage Wasteland”) and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” (Orrrrr “the theme from one of those cop dramas on NBC”) – Personally, I like “Baba O’Riley” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”… BUT, yes, there is a but… there usually is. The true masterpiece on this album… “BARGAIN”! Yea, You’re probably thinking “how is that a gem?” well, it is. I’m not gonna argue.

Moving on, the album is an all out rocker of an album, it has some slow songs, and you’re like “WHO! WHAT ARE YOU DOIN’? WHO! STAAAHP.” Kay.
