The Who
StaedlerMars:
None of the comments I've read actually say that. They actually elaborate on the back story. I don't think an obscure video of The Who is what your general internet crowd is interested in. Of course, there's always the chance that it is staged, but Keith Moon looks pretty convincingly passed the fuck out.

Anybody can be legitimately passed out with enough drugs. The random guy part is what people would post stupid shit about.
Trollstormur:
I got hooked on The Who from Rock Band. In fact, Rock Band got me started on a shitload of classic rock. (rush, boston, journey)
Their songs are still my favorite to drum in that game.

I wrote a giant paper about Tommy for a senior comp class in high school, so normally I'd suggest to go there next, but you have apparently already heard it...so I'd go with the 2-disc version of Live at Leeds just because Tommy is that awesome in a live setting and/or Quadrophenia.
Thrillho:
Listening to The Who Sell Out so far, I'm not that big a fan. Aside from 'I Can See For Miles,' which I fucking adore, and oddly enough the bits of 'Rael' which he later rehashed on Tommy, I'm finding it a bit 'of its time.' The harmonies and the production, even the songwriting style, remind me very much of 1967, and more specifically, the tweeness of the Kinks, of whom I am in no way a fan. Admittedly this is based only on the first listen. 'I Can See For Miles' is the song that made me pick this to buy (well, that and the fact Quadrophenia was too expensive) but I'm astonished at the difference just two years made between this and Tommy, and then Tommy and Who's Next.
