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.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

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

    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.
