Who's Next Who's Next is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Who. It developed from the aborted "Lifehouse" project, a multi-media rock opera written by the group's Pete Townshend as a follow-up to the band's 1969 album "Tommy". The project was cancelled due to its complexity and conflicts with Kit Lambert, the band's manager, but Townshend was persuaded to record the songs as a straightforward studio album.

The Who 1964 performances The Who performed extensively in 1964, supporting their first-ever single "Zoot Suit/I'm the Face" and their late-1964 single "I Can't Explain". The band were still known as The Detours when the year began before changing their name to The Who in February; another name change to The High Numbers in the middle of the year hoped to capitalise on the mod movement popular with British youth in the early to mid-1960s, but the group reverted to The Who after only a few months. 1964 was also the year drummer Keith Moon joined the band.

It was the group's first UK tour since 1975.

McVicar (album) McVicar is the soundtrack to the film "McVicar" and the fourth solo studio album by Roger Daltrey, the lead vocalist for The Who. The film, a biopic of the English bank robber John McVicar, was produced by Daltrey and also featured him in the starring role as John McVicar himself. Because all of the then-members of The Who played on the album, it is often considered to be an unrecognized Who album although there was no participation by the band in the songwriting.

Lifehouse (rock opera) Lifehouse was a science fiction rock opera by the Who intended as a follow-up to "Tommy". It was abandoned as a rock opera in favour of creating the traditional rock album "Who's Next", though its songs would appear on various albums and singles by the Who, as well as Pete Townshend's solo albums. In 1978, aspects of the Lifehouse project were revisited by the Who on "Who Are You". In 2000, Townshend revived the Lifehouse concept with his set "Lifehouse Chronicles" and the sampler "Lifehouse Elements". On 1 May 2007, Townshend released online software called "The Lifehouse Method" in which any "sitter" could create a musical "portrait". The site is now defunct.
