Welcome to Gaia! ::

k, here's the deal. I basically have no musical influence around me. Most people had a parent or maybe friend(s) that got them into Led Zeppelin and other bands related. I got nothing. Not sayin i don't have friends, they just listen to different music.
Anyway, ur all gunna have to be my influence from now on. *you nod*

I've been thinkin of buyin an album by The Who for a while now but i can't seem to find any other than the greatest hits. Any suggestions for an album, i'd rather buy a bunch of them than the greatest hits.

Here's a little run on on most of their albums. I'm excluding 80s Who
because you'd have to be a hardcore Who fan to enjoy it XD. 80s Who is
pretty hated, because they replaced drummer Keith Moon after he died.
80s Who is just so.. well.. 80s sounding XD. Not gonna bother with their
latest album either.

This is just my opinion, but I hope it helps you decide.

Depends what you like, but

Who's Next is excellent for a starter. It has
some good rockers, some mellow tunes, and everything in between.
Some of their biggest hits as well.

Tommy on the whole is a pretty mellow album, with the exception of a
few songs. But it's an interesting story, and has some catchy songs. It
is the album that got me into them. I don't recommend it right away if you
prefer harder rock.

The Who Sings My Generation is very R&B. Think white boys singing
black mans music. I like it, but some don't. This album has My Generation,
and The Kids Are Alright, so that's the kinda sound this album has.

A Quick One is a very quirky kinda album. I dunno what you'd call it
as far as genres go, but it's a lot lighter than some of their later songs.
I don't recommend this as a starter.

The Who Sell Out is VERY quirky. It's got radio jingles in between the
songs, and some really psychedelic sounding tunes. It's a pretty mellow
album though, and not considered their best. I'd wait to get this one, but
you may like it. I love it personally. It's also rather hilarious, as it has songs
about deodorant, hand-jobs, tattoos, baked beans, a money-grubber,
and pimple cream, among other things. lol

Quadrophenia is their second rock opera album (the first being Tommy).
It's a good album, has some great rockers, and lighter songs. The album
is set in the Mod era, about a boy named Jimmy with a 4 split personality.
Each personality has it's own theme, and each theme represents one member
of The Who.

The Who By Numbers is SUCH AN UNDERRATED ALBUM! I seriously
love it to pieces. I dunno what to say about this one, but it's got some really
great songs on it. Some of the songs have depressing lyrics, but are
surprisingly upbeat, which pwns. It also has some dirty lyrics thrown in there.
Everyone likes dirty lyrics AM I RITE!?

Who Are You is a decent album, but not their best. I wouldn't
recommend it as a starter. Some of the songs kinda have that synth-y
sound, and pretty much the only known song on the album is Who Are You.

Perhaps go to a website with previews of each song on each album, and
decide by which ever sounds best to you. 3nodding
