I really also love the Wall, but Quadrophenia is the last Who album where are their great energy. Both are really pessimistic albums, but specially in the Quadrophenia-album there are some hope (the movie ends bad way). And about Physical I think it should have been one album as they were originally making it.

While Quadrophenia, and Tommy before it, early on defined the idea of a rock opera, I think The Wall mastered it. A really unique and important musical and lyrical statement.

No contest for me - Zep all the way. I was and still am a proud Led head.

I love Kashmir as well. The length doesn't worry me. Still award this poll to The Who.

Never could get into The Who. Heard most of their output, only Entwistle impressed me sometimes.
I'm over Zepp. They're alright, overrated in my books. Every album, like most of Queen's output (for example) has something to offer.
The Wall is something truly revelatory and nostalgic for me. I clicked with it at the tender age of 13 !! I know it's not full-blown Prog as we know it, but I still enjoy spinning it once in a while. That's my vote.

Zeppelin, followed by the Who. Half of The Wall is brilliant, the other half? Not so much.

I dig all three despite some songs I don't care for...I'll go with The Wall by a nose. Granted, the whole "poor pitiful me even though I'm a rich rockstar" story can be grating, but songs like "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Hey You" are just too good.

Three great albums. Quadrophenia takes my vote, but by a very narrow margin.
