Did the Who "drop the ball" after Quadrophenia?

   I've always wondered about this. I'm not the biggest Who fan in the sense that I haven't heard all their albums but I've always enjoyed them and even saw them once in the late eighties. It seems to me that they were never able to equal or surpass the success of Quadrophenia later on. You could even make the same argument about Who's Next. I heard Who's next once or twice and it was good but nothing as good as the earlier stuff and the same thing with Who by numbers. The two post Moon albums were even weaker than those imo but still had a few good songs on them.
