The Best of Pete Townshend

1996
What a title… what a CD! The track list says quite a bit by itself! It’s defiantly not like other “Best of” albums in which the band on showcase has little to do with the compiling of the actual album. No, no… Pete in quite involved in the making of this little wonder. Like in the Scoops, there are anecdotes and explanations for the songs. Varying from hilarious to quite sad. Speaking of heart strings, “Pure and Easy”, “A Little Is Enough” and “The Sea Refuses No River” come to mind as a few of the best from “The Best Of”. With a creepy crawly achievement of 5, I highly recommend this album. It’s not just for some, but anyone, really!
