I prefer their early stuff like Substitute etc and Who's Next.
Live At Leeds in my top five live albums.
After Moon and Entwhistle it ain't The Who anymore, nowadays it's more a case of Who's Left.
As for PT being the best lyricist there are plenty better.
John Lennon for example.
I went off Townshend a bit after the kids porn episode and the lame excuse he came up with regarding "research".
Coincidentally, one of the characters in Tommy (Uncle Ernie) was a pedophile?
If he was in fact researching for a book or whatever, where is it?
Maybe it will surface one day but some how I doubt it.
Still a great songwriter and gave us many great tunes.
