Magic Bus from Live at Leeds is better than sex.

My top:

Quadrophenia > Tommy = Live at Leeds > Who's Next > A Quick One =The Who Sell Out

Quadrophenia is possibly the best teen angst album I've ever heard. It defines a voice perfectly. Songwriting genius.

Yeah, the Who are one of my favorites. They were the true 'hard rock' band of the 60s and 70s if you ask me. The aesthetic was there, and the songwriting skill was, too.

Live At Leeds is better than an orgy, I always say.

I have always loved the Who. Especially the older stuff. My favorite album is The Who Sellout.

"Tommy" does not disappoint. Brilliant.

I was discussing with a friend the other day, about what is really the greatest live album of all time and we finally both agreed with "Live at Leeds." Also the Who`s live performance, I think from the same year at the Isle of Wight (dvd) is also better than an orgy! But of course that depends on who the orgy is with!

Probably with Led Zeppelin, the greatest 4 man band set-up.

Ever since I heard some of their bootlegs from 67/68 Live at Leeds doesn't even get a look in these days.

Their early performances were ****ing nuts. Keith sounds like an octopus.
