Smash Your Head Against the Wall is the debut solo album by John Entwistle, who was the bassist for English rock band The Who. The album was released onTrack Records in the UK and Decca Records in the US, it was the first soloalbum by any other member of The Who.

The album also features a remake of John Entwistle's written Who live classic "Heaven and Hell" with The Who's on and off roadie Dave "Cyrano" Langston (who had encouraged John Entwistle to make the album) provided some acid-drenched guitar and was even thought to be Pete Townshend under a different name.

When John Entwistle was asked about his first Single "I Believe in Everything" in comparison to the rest of the album he said:

I've been saying a lot of stuff that I didn't really believe in. I sort of wrote it for the heads, really, the people thinking, "ah, so that's where Entwistle's brain's at, he really sort of believes in the devil and hell and all that sort of business." So I wrote a number that touches on reincarnation, then goes into the absurd, with Father Christmas and the whole bit and right at the end just to prevent the heads from thinking that I did believe in everything like I was saying, 'cause they always seem to believe that you actually believe in your own words. I believe in some of them but not all of them, so I just wrote the joke in to throw them off, and it's done it.
