Yeah, I bought all the post-Moon releases cheap used. I also quit buying Townshend's solo albums after "All the Best Cowboys...". I think his song-writing took a real dive in the early 80s.

I don't dislike any Who album, even Endless Wire. That said, my least played ones are:
Endless Wire / It's Hard ("Eminence Front" is among my favorite Who songs, though) / Sell Out

From the answers so far, Endless Wire might be the worst best seller of all time.

Endless Wire was endless torture.

Absolute garbage.

A glorified album of bad Townshend solo demos with Daltrey singing in a low register.

The "mini-opera" was atrocious.
