THE WHO...The Kids Are Alright soundtrack
Released: 35 years ago, June 8, 1979
Highest Chart Position: #8 U.S. Billboard Album Charts
Track Highlights: all of them
"The Kids Are Alright" soundtrack is one of the first things I ever heard by the Who. I saw the film which opened with a television appearance on the Smothers Brothers show in 1967 where the band did a killer version of "My Generation" and then they destroyed everything in sight. Tommy Smothers comes on stage and has this bewildered look on his face. I was then hooked and have been a fan ever since. This is a fantastic listen, full of energy and history as their drummer Keith Moon had died only 9 months prior to this release. A 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommended.
