Best Side of metal?

[Crimson Idol]

I've heard it before, but I certainly don't know it aswell as the WASP version, which was the one I heard first. As for Who in general, I know some of the catalogue -Pinball Wizard/My Generation/Blue Eyes/Can't Explain/Baba O'riley/Wont get Fooled Again off the top of my head, but not overly 'clued up' on them.

I reckon Who's Next, Tommy, and Quadrophenia are a good way to be introduced to the band, and then you can go from there if you like it.

Tommy and Quadrophenia are among the first concept albums.
Tommy gets more love, but Quadrophenia has Real Me, 5:15 and Love Reign O'er Me. Both worth checking out.
Who's Next deserves its status on the best albums ever list, although I prefer the tougher live versions of Won't get Fooled and Baba.
And speaking of live, Live At Leeds was among the heaviest albums ever when it was new.

Love Reign O'er Me.

Outstanding song. Last month I played the whole album for the first time.

@Crimson: thanks for the clips. They don't sound too familiar, it might have been The Crimson Idol that I heard. But good stuff!
