What is your favorite album by The Who? Picking a favorite is tough, but I'd lean towards "Quadrophenia" as my top choice. It's the album I keep coming back to the most. Probably the band's most "prog" as well.

Tommy, Who’s Next and Quadrophenia. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Quadrophenia ------------- The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time... |

| The Who By Numbers. More for nostalgia reasons than anything else as Mum bought it for me when I was 13. It's clearly not their best but I love the songs The Blue, Red and Grey, Slip Kid, How Many Friends and Squeeze Box. It's an eclectic mix that feels more like a Pete Townsend solo album than a Who album at times but I still enjoy it nevertheless. |

It's a toss between Who's Next and Quadrophenia. Both are 5 stars in my book. Voted Who's Next. -------------

I love Tommy and Quadrophenia but my vote goes to Who's Next ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

| For an iconic band that have been around since the 60s, they have very few really good albums. It's between Quadrophenia and Who's Next, I've gone for the latter. |

Who's Next is full of great songs, making it one of the best rock albums ever, but having heard various recreations of the Lifehouse project, I think if The Who had actually brought the project to life, and someone had done some practical editing, it would have been the best rock release ever. But in the real world, I vote for Quadrophenia. Love me a good concept. ------------- Between Thought and Expression Lies True Perception |

true and even Who's Next is a bit lacking once you get past the iconic songs Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Bargain and Going Mobile. OK that on it's own will do it

I agree. Had Townsend been able to bring Lifehouse to life back then, it might have been the Who epic to end all epics. Alas, we will never know ------------- We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

As I've said elsewhere, Who's Next is a greatest hits album for any mortal band. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I'm one of the votes for Who Are You... partly because it needs a bit of help, but it's definitely in my top 3, because the song qualities are way above average than usual (only Next is better), even if Loon is obviously on his last stand Sooo with Quadrophenia, and Next, WAY, you've got my top 3 mentions to Leeds & Tommy ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
