invisible airwave Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hunky Dory is good and shows David Bowie is one to watch out for in the future for even better albums. WN was them in their prime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 The Who: "We just recorded a masterpiece (Tommy), what's next?" Who's Next. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 A tricky one this. Both albums mean such a great deal to me. So...... i will choose to sit on the fence!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Thought this would be unanimous. The only thing I can think of is that everything on Who's Next it's been overplayed so much people are tired of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re very close, and I only really choose Who’s Next because The Who only ever topped it once (Quadrophenia), whereas Bowie still had tons of room to grow even from Hunky Dory’s impressive heights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) I own both and both are such classics, although in different wheelhouses . They run through my head a lot but maybe that's just me!  I think each is my favorite album from each particular artist. Thank goodness you are not making us decide! Although I guess I still have made a choice, lol! Where's Neil when we need to ask him about this? Edited May 12, 2023 by blueschica 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one with Keith Moon on it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbale Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Both great, great records - but even the weakest songs on Who's Next (for me My Wife and Goin' Mobile) are still solid bangers. Who's Next gets extra point for me because it's not even the fully realized thing it was supposed to be! When you hear the songs that didn't make it...and bled out over other projects and as singles, you realize how on fire Townshend was. Imagine having Pure and Easy, Relay, Too Much Of Anything, Mary, Join Together etc in the bag and they don't even make the cut because no one gets what you're on about with your concept. And after that "failure", he writes Quadrophenia. Insane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've always found that interesting that The Who was working on what was supposed to be a second rock opera and put it out this way instead. Such a great album! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Easy vote for me. Who's Next all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas King Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Honestly I can't choose. Both fantastic albums. Hunky Dory is my favorite Bowie album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
