Actually all those cuts from 10 on are bonus tracks.
This is certainly a classic and I own it on vinyl.
But at this point, classic rock radio has burnt out most of the cuts.
However, I absolutely LOVE My Wife! Cool track, actually quite funny. RIP John.

The second Who album I remember hearing thanks to my oldest brother back in the early 70's - woo hoo! .The band is in top form especially John and Keith.
I had it on vinyl in High school, now I have two copies(including the remastered version on CD) . My local classic rock station played Won't Get Fooled and Baba O 'Riley almost everyday there for awhile but I've never gotten tired of them. RIP Keith and John
Faves - My Wife - one of my big faves from John , Behind Blue Eyes , I Don't Even Know Myself , The Song is Over , Gettin In Tune , Bargain , Love Ain't for Keeping , Baba O' Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again , Pure and Easy (this should have originally been included on the LP IMO)
and Naked Eye

This is known as the quintessential Who album, yet it's actually my LEAST favorite by them! That's mostly because I'm one of the few people who prefers them as mods than as arena rockers! "The Who Sell Out" and "A Quick One" are my favorite albums by them.
No denying this album is a classic, though! My faves are The Song Is Over, Love Ain't For Keeping, Bargain, and Getting In Tune. The lesser-known cuts, basically. Won't Get Fooled Again still sounds good, but I'm burned out on the other two biggies..

However, I absolutely LOVE My Wife! Cool track, actually quite funny. RIP John. That's true about many of these songs getting a lot of airplay. I don't own this album myself, but was surprised to see how many songs I knew. Definitely some classic tracks on this one. |

I hear 'Won't Get Fooled Again' quite a lot, but like you, I never get tired of listening to it. Great song! |

I wish that tracks like 'Bargain' and 'Going Mobile' got more airplay on the classic rock stations here. I hear them occasionally, but not as often as 'Won't Get Fooled Again' or 'Behind Blue Eyes'. |

I remember hearing both 'Won't Get Fooled Again' and 'Behind Blue Eyes' when I was very young. 'Baba O'Riley' is a more recent discovery, but it's a good one as well. |
