For me it's a very good album - 8/10, but definitely not a masterpiece.

For the weakest track it's a toss-up between My Wife and Going Mobile (both dull songs to my ears), but I went with My Wife.

The strongest track is Baba O'Riley, hands down.

I love The Song Is Over and Getting In Tune. They break the fourth wall in the best way possible.   "I'm singing this note cuz it fits in well with the chords I'm playing..."   A band that can write s

The Who was my first concert in 1982! I was 14! Saw The Clash open up! "Combat Rock" Tour! It's still in my head like it was yesterday!! Kenny Jones!   I saw The Who again in 1991 with Simon Phill

It's a masterpiece.

 

Getting in Tune is the weakest track

Behind Blue Eyes is the strongest track

 

For the record, My Wife is one of my favorite Who songs ever. Somehow it became a popular "pregame" drinking song for me and my friends in college. It was a touching moment when one of my buddies had the DJ at my wedding play a short snippet of it (The lyrics weren't entirely appropriate for the moment so he only played the first 30 seconds or so).

Going Mobile

Baba O'Riley but almost voted for Won't Get Fooled Again

 

I love Going Mobile... Great acoustic guitar/vocals/synth. The Who is a trio for this song.

On an album such as this, picking the "weakest" song is not an easy task. Their weakest is another band's strongest.

I'd be better able to say if my copy didn't have skips on every song other than WGFA, but since I have yet to hear it without those petty annoyances, I shall grant it a nine.

 

Least awesome: Going Mobile

 

Most awesome: toss up b/w Baba and WGFA, so I went with the longer one.

 

Also, Bargain has one of my favorite lines ever. "One and one don't make two; one and one make one."

The Who was my first concert in 1982! I was 14! Saw The Clash open up! "Combat Rock" Tour! It's still in my head like it was yesterday!! Kenny Jones!

 

I saw The Who again in 1991 with Simon Phillips on the drum kit. 10th row. Blew my mind.

 

Last year I saw The Who on Pete Townshend's 71st birthday! They blew my mind yet again!!!!! Starkey! Better than his dad!!! JMO!!!!

 

So this summer I am taking my amazing parents up to Lake Tahoe to see The Who! August 16th!!! I can't wait!!

 

I am writing this on this thread because I think it could be one of the stupidest polls ever written in Rush Forum History, and I've written a ton of hits on here and a ton of shits too!

 

"Who's Next" is fuckking PERFECT!

 

There isn't one bad or weak note on this record!!

 

For my fuckked up ears which still work, "Who's Next" is like "Hemispheres." MASTERPIECE!

 

Then again I am a WHO WHORE!

 

I will not partake in this poll.

 

Every album by The Who up to "IT'S HARD" is PERFECT!

 

Every Pete Townshend solo album is PERFECT!!!!!

 

 

"It's Soft" is the sequel to the "Who's Next" album!

 

Signed,

Absolute masterpiece. Doesn't really have a weak link but if I have to pick something I guess it'll be My Wife.

 

Top track - WGFA but Baba O'Riley a close, close second.

I'd gladly lose me to find you

I'd gladly give up all I had

To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad

 

I'd pay any price just to get you

I'd work all my life and I will

To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

 

I'd call that a bargain

The best I ever had

The best I ever had

I have always liked Bargain.

 

With its 'Rockford Files' synth motif, Roger's gruff vocal and The Loon's thermonuclear bass drum assault on the outro.

 

 

Least awesome: Behind Blue Eyes.

 

Behind Blue Eyes is the least awesome?

One thing about The Who back in the day, their intro bands were the best.

 

When I saw them, they had Golden Earring.
