(Still) talkin' 'bout The Who.

Hey! I must just be right on time or ahead of the curve or whatever. I dunno, call me crazy. But you remember before, right down there, when I was talking about how many damn times The Who's biggest tracks have been regurgitated by Universal Music? Well, if you've been waiting for yet another, have I got news for you. let me introduce you to Universal's Icon series, one of which features our heroes:


This little number is known as Icon 1.  Because if that's not enough, then hold your hats because...


Yes!  It's Icon 2, which is just Icon 1 with a second disc of hits larded on!  And yeah, that's the same freakin' artwork from the old Who's Better, Who's Best compilation that came out in the late '80s.  Future generations are going to get the idea that The Who actually never recorded any full-length albums, and instead merely crapped out compilations over and over of the same 12-24 tracks.

Now that's some mileage, kids.
