Re: Ranking the Discographies
1. The Who Sell Out
2. Who's Next
3. My Generation
4. Quadrophenia
5. A Quick One...
5. Tommy
6. Who Are You
7. Who
8. Face Dances
9. It's Hard
10. Empty Glass
Townshend's solo albums are better than all of 6-10.
I completely forgot Who By Numbers.

"Live at Leeds" is a cracker. But then so is "Live at Hull".

Re: Ranking the Discographies
I'm not very familiar with this band outside of a greatest hits compilation. If I'm to explore, whose list here should I take as the truth?

And Live at Leeds is one of the greatest live albums ever.

Re: Ranking the Discographies
I'm really only familiar with the hits and the live album which is, indeed, fantastic. One of the great live recordings.
