While on the subject of The Who ... These are my top 10 songs by them. I always preferred the less bloated, punk-like early era stuff (some of which appears on this list as representing 1971's Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, which was a compilation I wore out on vinyl as a kid. It collected for the first time several of the band's non-album singles).
You may notice no Tommy tracks. I sort of lost interest in most of The Who's classic-rock 1970s' stuff, but they came back with a couple of strong cuts in the early 80s, as noted on this chart.
13. "Athena," It's Hard, 1982
12. "Behind Blue Eyes," Who's Next, 1971
11. "Armenia City In the Sky," The Who Sell Out, 1967
10. "I Can See For Miles," Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, 1971
09. "A Legal Matter," The Who Sings My Generation, 1965
08. "My Generation," The Who Sings My Generation, 1965
07. "Baba O'Reily," Who's Next, 1971
06. "Substitute," Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, 1971
05. "You Better You Bet," Face Dances, 1981
04. "Happy Jack," A Quick One (Happy Jack), 1966
03. "Pictures of Lily," Magic Bus, 1968
02. "The Kids Are Alright," The Who Sings My Generation, 1965
01. "I Can't Explain," Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, 1971
