The Best Who Album

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'd say Meaty Beaty surely deserves mention among the greats.  About half of those songs were non-album singles, and made up most of their best early material.

Poll Question: Which of these is the best?

	Who's Better Who's Best. Or maybe Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy. The Who are a band that I prefer to listen to their greatest hits albums.

	My favourite The Who songs are from BY NUMBERS, so I voted that one.

	Who's Next is my fav
	I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

	Easiest poll yet. Quadrophenia by leaps and bounds ahead of Who's Next and Tommy. Everything else does nothing for me except a few songs here and there. But Quadrophenia is one of my favorite albums of all time by anyone.
