Who Are You?

Who Are You is a 16 track all-star tribute to The Who, the band and their music. Contributors include Rick Wakeman, Joe Elliot, Ian Paice, Randy Bachman, Ginger Baker, Iggy Pop and Todd Rundgren. The Who  was due. With over 100 million records sold, and 27 Top 40 hits, everyone knows their music. Most recently the band was thrown into the spotlight as all three versions of the television drama CSI (Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, and CSI: NY) feature songs by The Who as their themes, "Who Are You", "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Riley". With 11 studio albums and 10 live albums and an additional five album soundtracks, including Tommy, there is plenty of classic material to cover. The album is scheduled for release on October 2nd.

  1. Hey, I just got back from McDonald's, and one of the songs they played was "Won't Get Fooled Again".

    At first I thought it was Baba O'Reilly, but I guess I got fooled.

    Again.
