The Who are pretty damn good. This is a nice album, but I much prefer Who's Next.

Surprisingly, I haven't really gotten into The Who. I love Who's Next. It's basically perfect, but Quadrophenia kind of dragged on and disappointed me a bit and now I'm not so excited to even check this one out.

I love The Who. I really do. But this falls behind "Who's Next", "The Who By Numbers" and "The Who Sell Out" for me. That being said, it's still a great album.

I once started watching this movie with my wife and about halfway through the movie she turned to me and said "What is this movie? It's awful."

Yep, I've only seen the movie, and that put me off listening to the album. Not sure I'll ever pick this one up.
