Yeah, Sellout is very quirky and Kinksesque, which is why I love it so much. That's one of the things I love about them, just the constant changing till about Quadrophenia, after which it all goes downhill. Not saying Quadrophenia starts them rolling down, because it's definitely a high point in their catalogue, but everything after is a shadow of the stuff that came before.
One of the interesting things about Sell Out is that it's undeniably a concept; the whole pirate radio thing, the themes of commercialization...it's an interesting stepping stone to their more theatrical pursuits.

I think I say this whenever someone mentions the Who, but if you are interested in the Who you should also look into a band called the Creation. Pete Townshend asked their guitarist to be the second guitarist for the Who at one point. Somehow they were never popular anywhere but in Germany.

There are two compilation records of their stuff that are both excellent, one is called How Does It Feel to Feel? and the other is called Our Music is Red--- With Purple Flashes. If you have one, you don't really need the other but they are about equal in quality.

Thrillho:
I appreciate the concept of the record, it's very smart. But honestly, I just don't want to listen to comedy jingles and such, I wanted rock music, which is what I know The Who for. Admittedly it's my fault for choosing this one to buy because I knew it going in, I just assumed I'd like the actual songs in between the jingles more.
