i would've also included Love, Reign O'er Me also from Quadrophenia if you ask me... and Won't Get Fooled Again. like SteveG with Baba, im not sure if the latter is proggy, my favorite Who song, or both! But i love it nonetheless!!!! LOL

My fav The Who song and one of my fav songs of alltime-Won't Get Fooled Again.
Proggy or not...
Daltary's amazing with Mooney and Entwistle on fire..

My favorite Who album is The Who Sell Out.
Rael is pretty proggy with it's Tolkienesque lyrics

Wow, forgot about Rael....the song introduced Capt Walker and was the mini-opera later expanded into themes for Tommy.

A Quick One was proggy in concept, but not so much in the music, which was pretty much straightforward rock.
 
Armenia City in the Sky is still, to me, the peak of Who progginess, but the majority of the song was written by Speedy Keen, later of the Townshend produced Thunderclap Newman.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Baba O'Riley is the most obvious choice. I think that track pretty much introduced me to prog.
