Which The Who album contains the John Entwistle song 'The Quiet One'?

The Who album containing John Entwistle’s song “The Quiet One” is Face Dances. Released in 1981, Face Dances was the band’s ninth studio album and one of the first Who albums made after the death of original drummer Keith Moon.

“The Quiet One” appears as the fourth track on the album’s first side. Entwistle wrote the song and sang its lead vocal, making it one of the record’s clear showcases for the bassist’s songwriting and distinctive voice. He also wrote and performed “You,” another Entwistle composition included on the album.

Face Dances marked a major lineup transition: Kenney Jones played drums in place of Moon, who had died in 1978. Pete Townshend remained the principal songwriter, while Roger Daltrey continued as lead singer. The album also included “You Better You Bet,” one of The Who’s best-known songs from the post-Moon period.

A common mix-up comes from Entwistle’s substantial songwriting across The Who’s catalog. He contributed songs to albums such as Who’s Next and The Who by Numbers, but “The Quiet One” belongs specifically to Face Dances. The album was released on March 16, 1981, and reached No. 4 in the United States.
