The first Who album I ever got into was A Quick One, a great progression from the first album. This was when I was also starting to get into Punk and I immediately noticed where a lot of listeners made the connection with that album and My Generation with the more melodic edge of some Punk (a lot of the so-called "First Wave") as well as the Late 70's Mod Revival that only had one band that could equal the greatness of the early Who, although I would say that a couple almost were up there with The Jam. "So Sad About Us" is possibly the first song I played along with when I first started to play the guitar. I also listened to Tommy and Who's Next as a kid, and still listen to Quadrophenia to this day (it was not as overplayed on the radio back then), but I am more attracted to the '65-7 Who.
All of their albums from My Generation to Who Are You have a lot of great songs.
