Tommy gets a lot of flack from purists who didn't like The Whos change of direction. I personally prefer Rock Opera/Stadium Rock Who to the Mod days. That album just has an amazing flow and feel to it. Maybe my favorite Who album, but between it and Whos Next its close.
And Relayer is amazing. The Gates of Delirium is pure chaos, and Soon is a gorgeous ballad, Steve Howes pedal steel playing is otherworldly.
