others you should check out - Who Are You and Face Dances (this is again a very divisive album, but I think it's their last great album)
i didn't like By Numbers much
and I'm in the minority about It's Hard (most people hate it) but it sounds fine to me
avoid "Endless Wire" at all costs, Roger sounds as if he's about to choke on his own vomit and all the songs are "recycled" (they sound like the Who's best songs redone)
and if you want a good solo project - check out Pete Townshend's Empty Glass (arguably the most Who-sounding of his efforts) - avoid all of Daltrey's solo stuff, though, they're beyond sucky

Thank you Il, you've been a great help. So, I guess I plan on getting Quadrophenia, Who Sell Out, and Tommy (all 95 remasters) and then if I like what I hear, I'll move on to the other stuff you like by them, albeit, I won't buy it all at once. I just got that Deluxe Edition of Who's Next, and I'm liking it alot so far. But I still can't believe I got it for 6 bucks. You must be jealous, eh?
I'll let this album sink in, then I'll have LaL in about a week and then I can let that sink in and move on to more Who if I'm hungry for more.
Pretty good game plan, right?
