Easiest poll yet. Quadrophenia by leaps and bounds ahead of Who's Next and Tommy. Everything else does nothing for me except a few songs here and there. But Quadrophenia is one of my favorite albums of all time by anyone.

I don't think i'll ever be able to choose my favorite from their "Big Three"

Though i know what i play the most: Tommy (Live at Leeds Version)

Who's Better Who's Best.  Or maybe Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy.  The Who are a band that I prefer to listen to their greatest hits albums. Embarrassed

I'd say Meaty Beaty surely deserves mention among the greats.  About half of those songs were non-album singles, and made up most of their best early material.

Quad...but if the expanded "Live at Leeds" release (including "A Quick One...") had been an option it would've gotten my vote instead Wink

Definitely "Who's Next" , but it's a crime they didn't include "Pure And Easy" on it.
