Nowadays The Who are a regular fixture on VH1 Classic rock. Every time
I turn on Classic Rock channel, it is The Who playing some concert,
the movie Tommy going on or some documentary about The Who.
Many consider The Who to be the 3rd greatest rock band of all times
(behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones). Some consider them second
best rock band of all time behind The Beatles. There are considered
unanimously the greatest hard rock band of all times.
So how many great songs did they make. I have all their studio albums,
live at leeds, and most of their compilations.
Chronologically I think these are their greatest songs ever (which
belong to any alltime songs list)...

You cannot be objective when considering "great songs". It's a matter
of opinion. Always. Therefore it's always subjective.

You listed 24 songs. That's a bit more than "an album".
And they never did any Beatles songs, AFAIA.

No, he was just doing research on the internet as a kind of
'victim of pedophilia' project that he was working on. All of those
pictures of boys getting bung-holed and giving blow-jobs to grown men
were just part of the 'research'.
Try using that defence if you're a commoner.
