    What's that movie that had a young Sting?

    Oh, and the criminally underrated by numbers is 2nd.

    Quadrophenia....it's the only Who album I really like. Who's Next has plenty of classic tracks, but I just pick random tracks from the rest of their catalog.

    Depends on the mood I'm in. Who's Next, Live at Leeds, Quad. InHiding is spot on--By Numbers is great. I've been listening to it a lot lately. Still love Tommy after all these years.

    Live at Leeds was the first Who album I bought besides a best of. Recently bought Who's Next which I'm really digging! I love 'My Wife' and 'The Song is Over'.

    Looking at getting Quadrophenia next. Saw a really good documentary about it recently.

    Quadrophonia is greatest album ever so I guess that would make it the best album by The Who

    I agree, it's a great album. But it's a Pete Townshend solo album, not a Who album.

    Now if you're talking about the guy who posts here . . .

    Lifehouse would have been one the greatest albums of all time if Pete didn't have a nervous breakdown and abort it. Instead we got Who's Next which is about 1\3rd of the music that would have made up Lifehouse.

    Who's Next is one of the most popular Who albums but many people aren't aware that it started out as another double concept album. Pete abandoned the complicated story of Lifehouse and followed up with the straightforward one of Quad.

    The one with Baba O'Reilly on it I suppose, whichever that is, since that's the only Who song I can name off the top of my head that I like (not a fan of The Who).
