Why does /mu/ hate Who's Next?
I can 100% understand the hate for Tommy (literally one good song), but Who's Next is patrician.
too inconsistent to deserve the legendary status it has
I listened to it the entire way through. It has three good songs (tracks 1, 2, and 9) and the rest is just filler.

I love Tommy though :(

>implying Behind Blue Eyes and Getting in Tune are anything less than god-tier
The rest are kind of shit, though, I agree.

Eh, like I said. Pinball Wizard is the only track that stands out. Well, that, and the ones where Tommy gets raped.
"I originally liked Who's Next and graded it with an A. However, years later, in my 'Consumer Guide to Albums of the '70s', I downgraded it slightly. This was after I'd seen how their later career unfolded and it wasn't so apparent in 1971 that Who's Next was a preview of what was coming. By the 80s, I'd come to almost despise The Who especially after It's Hard emerged as one of the worst examples of English art rock excess. I recently relistened to the album for the first time in a decade and reaffirmed my opinion--all the synth noodling and long-winded song structures of It's Hard were starting to appear on Who's Next. I still maintain that The Who Sell Out was their only truly great album."

So I take it that he and Scaruffi are /mu/ personified?
Now I love Bargain. In fact it's the first Who song I ever heard when it was used on some 90s car commercial.

Yes, they're just /mu/ shitposters with their own websites.

If you're wondering, this is from an email exchange he had in the early 2000s with a magazine editor (?) where the guy asked him why dropped Who's Next from an A+ to an A-.
