1. I Can See For Miles
2. Substitute
3. Dogs
4. The Kids Are Alright
5. I Can't Explain

Nothing too obscure from me, I tend to like them at their sharpest and most succinct.

1. Substitute
2. Rael
3. I can see for miles.
4. Pinball Wizard (best riff ever)
5. My Generation

Obvious but anything the Who did after 1970 feels and looks like a rancid omelette.

Replace 'I Can See For Miles' with 'My Generation' and that'll do me.

“I Can See For Miles” is their greatest single achievement.

Swap “Dogs” with “My Generation” and I could go with that list.
