Who's Next is the fifth album by the English rock band The Who. It was released on 31 July 1971 by Decca and MCA in the United States and 25 August 1971 in the United Kingdom through Track and Polydor. The album has origins in a rock opera conceived by Pete Townshend called Lifehouse. The ambitious, complex project did not come to fruition at the time and instead, many of the songs written for the project were compiled onto Who's Next as a collection of unrelated songs. Who's Next was a critical and commercial success when it was released, and has been certified 3x platinum by the RIAA.

"They were once too steeped in English eccentricity to appeal to everyday Americans, but Who’s Next made the Who a global concern. Here, angry rhetoric and Pete Townshend’s spiritualism were smuggled inside riffs that could fell a man from 20 paces. Standout track: “Won’t Get Fooled Again”"
