Draco Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm listening to this, and there are just no duds on this album at all. Every single song is strong. I really can't think of a more complete album. Can anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would call it a perfect album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Oh, to answer your question, Highway To Hell, Let There Be Rock and Powerage are perfect too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 In my humble opinion, Grace Under Pressure is a perfect album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossedSignals Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes' Close To The Edge is also darned near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Witch Hunt is definitely my least favorite too. GUP on the other hand, every song is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've always hated Going Mobile, so I can't call Who's Next perfect, but it is awfully damn good. I still prefer Tommy to it, though, when it comes to The Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Houses Of The Holy is a mighty fine album. Still have to give the nod to Who's Next though. Edited May 21, 2012 by Draco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Who's Next is a great album. When I first discovered this as a kid, I thought it was a greatest hits package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowSnake Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Who's Next is fantastic and Baba O'Riley is one of the greatest rock songs ever. As for perfect albums, I would add: Moving Pictures, Close To The Edge, Dark Side of the Moon, Physical Graffiti, Fear of a Blank Planet.

H. P. L. Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I always end up listening to Quadrophenia over Who's Next. The latter lacks the unmitigated fury of The Real Me, or the liquid instrumental passages of The Rock. It's still a great album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaldad Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 imo One of the Greatest albums Ever . Top ten of all time on my list for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Love this one, one of my top albums. and in 1971 I got to see the tour for this album... Damn they kicked ass.. I may be old but I got to see all the really cool bands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I've gotten, and I'm not young, is Genesis with the Siltskin singer, Tull with Crest of a Knave, Yes with a voiceless Jon Anderson... Still, I can't complain.
