cos I sure don't.
i'm guessing it goes something like this http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AganxnJc4QtzSbKWJp_vhtQgBgx.?qid=20060619121254AAJMY9Y
and what does this mean for Who albums?
after this, should I ask the apostrophe question again????
nah, I won't bother. One of you lot can do that. You've all got points to spare. And I'm not bitter.

Hmmm, I do get confuddled, I think who's would be who is and whose would be like in whose is it?
That sort of thing. :)

The apostrophe here replaces a letter:
Who is = who's
Whose = whose scarf is this?
Same with it:
It's = it is
its = belongs to it
Same with didn't:
did not = didn't
Etc

I answered the its/it's question too and it's who's and its whose ... Who albums because it is the name of a group and to whom when it is the object of the sentence or of a preposition or of a clause if it can be that I am too tired to think of it.

Ooo ooo, I do, I do!
A good trick for a native speaker is to try to separate it into "who is". Since "who's" is a contraction of "who is", "who is" will still work in any place where you should use "who's". Anywhere else, use "whose".
Try it on these examples:
I saw the man (who's) car is red. -> I saw the man who is car is red. -> it doesn't work, so you use "whose"
I wonder (who's) coming to the party tonight. -> I wonder who is coming to the party tonight. -> it sounds okay, so use who's

I do know, but quite often I mistype it.
"Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has" or means "belonging to The Who".
"Whose" is a relative pronoun relating a possessor to the thing he or she possesses. I know whose side you're on.

Why do you say "Who cares?" Who's going to teach our kids proper grammar these days? You know, those kids whose futures we worry so much about.

who's = who is
whose = belonging to whom
but I think it would be The Who's album.

Who cares? Who's care? Whose cares?

Who's => who is
e.g. Who knows who's right?
Whose => belongs to
e.g.
"Who knows whose album is on the table?"
"Which album?"
"The Who album. Who knows whose Who album is that???!!!"

personally i hate it when people type
'your' instead of
'you're'
is this dog YOURS?
Your question is a good one but,
You're (you are) going to get a lot of confusion with the way people answer this question.

If you can substitute it for "who is" then Who's is correct. Otherwise it's (it is) whose. Example: Whose scarf is this?
You wouldn't say "Who is scarf is this?" right?
