Your Top 3 Who Albums - POLL

Who's Next
Tommy
Quadrophenia

 

Quadrophenia
Who's Next
The Who Sell Out

 

1. Who Sell Out
2. A Quick One
3. Who Are You

the others all contain overplayed songs, so those ones are my faves. "Who's Next" is great, but i've heard it a zillion times over.

 

It is so damn good I consider MBBAB as a Who album...

 

Next
Quad
It's Hard

Let me stop you there: No, I did not make a mistake.

 

Sell Out
who’s next
Quadrophenia
But I would have picked Leeds

 

My Generation
The Who Sell Out
Tommy

Is seems strange not choosing Who's Next because I love it. It would be next.

 

1) Who's Next
2) Quadrophenia
3) My Generation

 

Did you meet a beautiful woman at the record shop when you bought It's Hard? It can't be the music!

 

Sell Out
Who's Next
Odds & Sods

 

I went with Tommy, Next, and Numbers.

Very hard to omit Sell Out and Quadrophenia. If MBBB, Live at Leeds, and Odds & Sods were allowed, it would be hard to leave them out too.

 

You don't know just how close you are to the real story. I'll never tell!

 

debut, sophomore, Sell Out

Who's Next
Who Are You?
It's Hard

The last one on the strength of 'Eminence Front', one of their best songs ever, IMO.

 

There are 6 that I think stand out as a half dozen of the greatest albums ever recorded- and 5 that I prefer over the 6th. The ones that got my votes were-
~"My Generation"
~"The Who Sell Out"
~"Tommy"

That said, the only reason I didn't vote for these two brilliant albums, was because they already had the highest vote totals-
~"Who's Next"
~"Quadrophenia"

The one I like just slightly less than the top 5, almost got a vote because it's totals were so low. At the very least it deserves mention as their last great album (and their 6th best release)
~"The Who By Numbers"
*~"Odds & Sods"
*- not on the poll (as it's a compilation) but it's up there quality wise with "The Who By Numbers".

I'll take a moment here to say that I think that the following Pete Townshend solo albums are just as great as the best 5 by The Who-
~"Who Came First"
~"Rough Mix"
~"Empty Glass"

And these two Pete Townshend solo albums are up there with "The Who By Numbers"-
"All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes"
"White City: A Novel"

 

There's not really much in how much I like all The Who albums up to and including The Who By Numbers. It's a magnificent run of very varied albums. It depends on my mood which one I like most at any one time. The ones I play most are the first three. Mainly because they're fun, something which almost totally disappeared from their music in the 70s.
