I don't know. I couldn't actually tell you anything that's WRONG with the album, but somehow I've never been able to fall in love with any of the songs on this album except for Won't Get Fooled Again (and, to a lesser extent, Bargain). But I will say that it is a very consistent album without a single bad song that just fails to strike my fancy.

So you judge bands by only listening to one album ?

The WHO have 11 studio albums, how do you know if the other 10 are not great albums and you might actually find yourself liking The WHO 🤔

I've heard plenty singles from them as well. While mine may not be the most informed of opinions, hearing about 25 songs from an artist and not liking a single one offers a pretty good indication that the band just isn't for me.

Understandable 😜 I know there are people who can dislike a band before they have heard one album

The Who made this album in 1975 and it is not "bombastic" at all. But It's still a great one. 😁

The Who didn't know how to make a bad album.

When I dislike the best album of a band, I'll go listen to something else. There's too much music out there to be discovered. You can't listen to every bands' discography.

Except for The Who. You're obligated to listen to all their albums, because they just fuckin' rock.

I've given 19 albums perfect ratings.

And it's one of 'em 😄

For those that for some reason don't think that Keith Moon was one of the all time greatest drummers.

Just listen to the song Bargain off of Who's Next.

Well, I have Who's Next at #5 on my chart and would be one of the few albums I can think of as having every song on the album either a classic or great song.

As far as the quality of the musicianship of the WHO.

I would stack em up against anybody.

And o ya, by the way, Pete Townshend is a fucking awesome guitar player who knows how to rock and has been doing so since the mid 60's.

And I think he has gone through more guitars than anyone who has ever lived 🤣

Pete Townshend is also a great guitarist and Roger Daltrey a brilliant singer. Applerill must have deficient ears.

I dunno. I always get bored after the stunning "Baba O Reilly". The Who is just not made up of very good musicians, and despite maybe the world's loudest rock band in 1966, they really were never heavy enough for me.

That being said, Quadrophenia is an absolute masterpiece, but mostly because of the plot and the mood.

... Who's Next is. Third time I listened now and it sounds so much better than I remembered. I think the energy in the album as a whole draws me into it 😄
