This is probably my favorite Who album, so if no one else participates in the vote I'll be angry! 
Nah, only kidding....
The CD reissue has 10 more songs added to the original album, but I decided to exclude them because they weren't on the original release.

Good choice! This is a great album...and it's got my favourite Who song on it: I Can See For Miles. And we need a :guitarplayerswinginghisarmlikeahelicopter: smiley as well.
Don't think I've heard a single Who song, apart from the one on CSI.
Still, as I've now found there are no fewer than 2 Rolling Stones songs I 'quite like' (i.e. Paint it Black and Gimme Shelter) perhaps I should start listening to more of this prehistoric stuff (especially as New Order and all the other stuff I like are clearly now semi prehistoric bands themselves).

Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing something by not listening to newer stuff, only my old-as-dirt Who or NO cds. Then I see Nsync or Nelly, and I know I'm alright :D

I used to think of New Order (and the Clash, and the Cure, and Public Image and, later, Massive Attack, etc) as 'current stuff' and the likes of the Stones and the Who as uninteresting old time stuff (after all, by the time I started listening to music all one saw those guys as was elderly gents who spent their time buying fish farms, advertising credit cards on TV, sending their kids to private schools, and churning out albums that nobody even pretended were exciting).
The trouble is the stuff I like now seems to be only slightly less ancient than the stuff I've spent 20 years ignoring, so this attitude seems unsustainable.
At least Barny's never appeared on tv personally endorsing American Express though.
I think Massive Attack and BT were the last 'new' acts I got into. I'm sure there's lots of good new stuff around, I just don't think I have room in either my cd racks or my brain to accomodate it any more.
Sugar's cover of Armenia City In The Sky was ok-ish, but the Cobweb jury went to the only other song off here that I've heard.
Your record collection is shocking, if this is a classic album Tabsy !
I've a couple of Who albums, but this isn't one of 'em(sorry there Tabsy), so I also voted for the only one I'd heard. They're okay, but the only reason I saw them on their first reunion tour was cause the Clash was opening for 'em.
