Just wondering. I have only limited knowledge of their catalog through radio and greatest hits packages. Where should I start if I really want to dig deep? Who's Next? Tommy? Just curious. I figure if Ed is heavily influenced by their stuff, I might need to check it out.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I like their all of their stuff but I always go back to ...By Numbers time and time again. Maybe because there isn't a lot of their more popular, heavy rotation stuff on that one. Plus I love the sequence in Kids Are Alright with Entwhistle at his house as the song Success Story is playing.

    Who's Next..........the expanded edition......comes with a live disc and a bunch of extra tunes.

    I like the UK version of the first album. The Ox is a monstrously heavy piece of instrumental hard rock, for 1965.

    Quadrophenia, Who's Next and the Who By Numbers have always been my favs.

    Nope, it's just one of their regular albums. It's got some quirky songs on it, I love Boris the Spider and A Legal Matter.

    It's a collection of singles from the '65-'69 period.
