Quadrophenia (1973)Emma?! Where are you? Are you okay?! This person with the strange face is still in our home! Hello, again. This is The Who album with a grandiose theme and a grandiose purpose. It's also quite lengthy. Overall Album Score: 9.6 out of 10 Average Song Score: 9.4

The Who By Numbers (1975)Emma?! I know you're there! You're in the bedroom -- I can smell the booze! Hello again, strange person who is inquiring about Who albums for whatever random reason. Well, The Who By Numbers is where the band decides to dump all the grand concept album ambitions and just deliver some straight-forward rock songs, more or less. It's not quite as inspired, but it's still pretty good. Overall Album Score: 8.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.4

Who Are You (1978)Now this album, you strange person you, is where The Who attempt to be experimental again ... and not with a whole lot of success, either. Emma! EMMA! ... Holy moly, what is that woman up to? Overall Album Score: 7.9 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.2

Face Dances (1981)Keith Moon dies and the band is left to do nothing but go all mainstream. Oh well ... The Who are still pretty coo'. Emma! I'm coming into the bedroom, alright? Overall Album Score: 8.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.2

It's Hard (1982)The vastly underwhelming last words from a band that used to be so great ... there are really only two good songs on here ... and that's just not good. (Emma! What the hell are you doing to that cat?) Overall Album Score: 6.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 6.2
