As The Who continues to honor the 50th anniversary of their brilliant LP 'Who's Next,' the Paste team runs down their 20 greatest songs.
had chosen to top this list, their response was usually a moment of quiet contemplation before saying something along the lines of, “Yeah, that works, but what about…” And so would begin many long debates about which one of the hundreds of songs recorded by Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon might rise to the #1 spot.

Not many bands get that lucky.
