Hard to stop at just 20, isn't it?

I notice 7 of your top 10 can be found on either Who's Next or Meaty, Beaty, Big, & Bouncy. Just as it should be.

Zeep! Zeep! Zeep!

Those two albums are the cream of the crop in my eyes, for sure.

Athena is probably the one Who song that I absolutely loathe. I've forced myself to listen to it three times now and I still can't see why so many people like it. I've never thought Squeeze Box was one of their best songs either - a fun song, but rather slight, especially compared to the other songs on The Who By Numbers. However, I agree with the rest of your list, although mine would probably have more Quadrophenia on it.
