''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock'' was the title of an unreleased 1972 autobiographical album by the British rock band The Who. In the liner notes for the Who's 1974 rarities collection ''Odds & Sods'', guitarist and lead songwriter Pete Townshend said, "I had an idea once for a new album about the history of The Who called ''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock''. That idea later blossomed into ''Quadrophenia''." The sessions for the album spanned from 19 May to 6 June at Olympic Studios in London. ''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock'' was to be produced by The Who and Glyn Johns and scheduled for release in October 1972, but although the album was nearly completed (according to Townshend) the band felt as though it sounded too much like their 1971 LP ''Who's Next''. Townshend later stated that ''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock'' was also going to be a TV special about The Who. Some of the songs recorded during the ''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock'' sessions were originally written for another unreleased Who album, 1971's failed ''Lifehouse''. == Track listing == Proposed track listings, created by the band during the 1972 sessions for the album, are in existence.
