Poll--The Weakest Link: The Who A QUICK ONE, Round 1

The Who's second album gets the WL treatment.

We'll start by eliminating two tracks this round.

Discussion Question:
How big is your Who collection?

 

I guess I have a medium size Who collection.

Sell Out
Tommy
Meaty Beaty
Leeds
Who's Next
Odds & Sods
Quadrophenia
It's Hard
The Who Collection
Who Hits 50

I don't currently have a copy of Quick One, but I wore out a copy growing up and voted from memory.

 

Not a weak link on the album

 

My Generation
Quick One
Sell Out
Tommy
Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncey
Tommy
Who’s Next
Who Are You
Leeds
Isle Of Wight

Most all older non-remastered CDs

 

I need you and Cobwebs...

My collection is big, second only to the Beatles.

 

Votes just for Heat Wave. This cover just doesn’t work for me / fit on the album. Love everything else.

 

Excellent choice for a weakest link thread.

Heat Wave
See My Way

DQ: Pretty large. They were the first rock group I really got into. Have all of their U.S.-released LPs through Who Are You, plus the Who's Missing, Two's Missing, and Hooligans LPs; a 1995 CD of Live at Leeds, and the Maximum R&B box.

 

The Who - A Quick One (Happy Jack) / The Who Sell Out


Thats the version of this I have. The vinyl is pretty thin but it did the job for me back in the day. I had better equipment back then than I do now. (I probably don’t have a profile filled out so don’t mind me ).

 

Heat Wave
Don't Look Away

?:All studio albums on cd/lp, Leeds and Isle, RB box, Come Together, Meaty, deluxe Tommy, Who Next, Sell Out, Who Missing, Two Missing, Rarities I & II. Nothing out of ordinary.

 

Heatwave - prefer the '65 version
See My Way

I have a nearly complete CD collection, lacking some redundant greatest hits and singles collections. Plus the nearly definitive HD versions of the deluxe Live At Leeds and Who's Next.

 

I'm only here for a one round - Cobwebs and Strange.
There's no weak link on this album except maybe this one.

 

"I Need You" and "Heat Wave"

The absolute masters of covering Eddie Cochran didn't have the same success when covering "girl groups". And as a composer Keith Moon was a great drummer.

I have a fairly complete collection of the "core" Who catalog. I may even own one or two greatest hits collections. My first copy of "A Quick One" (a used vinyl two-fer with water damage on the cover that I think was $1 or $2) is sadly no longer with us.

 

Cobwebs And Sad About Us.

DQ: Pretty decent size; I have nearly all studio albums from Keith Moon era as well as Live At Leeds.

 

All the studio albums, with multiples of some to include deluxe editions
Some live albums, some compilations

Not HUGE, but not bad!
