Brian:

You will have noticed that Zoso (or IV, or whatever it's called) isn't
among my favorites. In fact, I think III & HOTH are far superior.

Well, everyone in the known universe (with apologies to Larry Niven)
knows by now that QUAD is my favorite...but I'm with you on WN. It's
probably my least-played Who album. After all I had it on 8-Track, then
went through several LPs, and am now on my second CD of it. I've heard
it to death.
It's also the one most of my friends have...so when I visit, they
usually play it ("He's a Who fan, so play WN.")
My "most-played" are MG, SO, TOMMY, LAL, & QUAD. And it always depends
on my mood.
