A great album, with several classic rock staples on it, but basically every song on this album is worth discovering. I'd prefer this album to Tommy.

Each time I return to this album I enjoy it as a whole even more. Of course the highs are astronomical, but I was sleeping on songs like Going Mobile and Love Ain’t For Keeping for a long time.

Love Ain't For Keeping has always been one of my favourites, amazing track. And I feel the same, I don't listen to it too often, but when I do, I always appreciate it more than I expected. One of the true classick rock greats.

I feel sort of the opposite of most folks here I guess. The highs are high of course, but the lows don't add much. The first 2 tracks and the last 2 tracks are so good that it could've been a 4-track album and I would've loved it all the same.

"My Wife" IMO should've been left out, I think it sorta brings down the album and distracts from the other songs. Tracks 3-6 otherwise are just sorta filler, and "Going Mobile" is solid.

Who's Next is The Who's magnum opus. And that's a tough call to make considering their other classic albums.

Best album from the best year. Every last cut a killer classic. No weak spots.

It's up there as one of my favorite albums of all time. I love every song on it, except for "My Wife," which would probably be considered great on any other album. I still play it quite often.
