If this is correct...
1965 The Who Sings My Generation MCA
1966 A Quick One (Happy Jack) Reaction
1967 The Who Sell Out MCA
1968 Magic Bus MCA
1969 Tommy MCA
1970 Live at Leeds MCA
1971 Who's Next MCA
1973 Quadrophenia MCA
1975 The Who by Numbers MCA
1978 Who Are You MCA
1981 Face Dances MCA
1982 It's Hard MCA
..then I stand by my "early Who" vote. Even more so of I split it by time
or if I discount Live At Leeds for being a live album.
Who's Next is just effin awesome. And there are certainly moments on Who Are
You and Quadrophenia (I'm not in the camp that reveres Quadrophenia). But
Sell Out is brilliant, Tommy still packs a punch and the early stuff on
those first few records are among the best rock (and dare I say powerpop)
singles ever recorded.

ps - not as wall-to-wall into Tom Waits to comment on whether he is an
exception. Another friend suggested Ry Cooder and Bonnie Raitt (again I pass
on comment; like them both but I'm no expert).
