August 14, 1971 –
The Who released their fifth studio album Who’s Next on this date. The albun is widely viewed as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
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 owing to its complexity and to conflicts with Kit Lambert, the band’s manager, but Townshend was persuaded the group should record the songs as a straightforward studio album.
