==== Songwriting ==== While Townshend emerged as the Who's songwriter-in-chief, Entwistle began making distinctive contributions to the band's catalogue, beginning with "Whiskey Man" and "[[Boris the Spider]]" on the band's second studio album ''[[A Quick One]]'' (1966), continuing with "Doctor, Doctor" and "Someone's Coming" (1967); "Silas Stingy", "Heinz Baked Beans" and "Medac" from the band's third studio album ''[[The Who Sell Out]]'' (1967); "[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (The Who song)|Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde]]" (1968); and "[[Heaven and Hell (The Who song)|Heaven and Hell]]", with which the Who opened their live shows between 1968 and 1970.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-who/heaven-and-hell|title = Heaven and Hell by the Who |website=Songfacts.com}}</ref> Entwistle wrote "[[Cousin Kevin]]" and "[[Fiddle About]]" for the Who's fourth studio album ''[[Tommy (The Who album)|Tommy]]'' (1969) because Townshend had specifically requested Entwistle to write 'nasty songs' that he felt uncomfortable with. "[[My Wife (song)|My Wife]]", Entwistle's driving, comedic song about marital strife from the band's fifth studio album ''[[Who's Next]]'' (1971), also became a popular stage number. He wrote "Success Story" for ''[[The Who by Numbers]]'' (1975), for which he also drew the illustration on the album cover; "[[Had Enough (The Who song)|Had Enough]]", "905", and "[[Trick of the Light (The Who song)|Trick of the Light]]" for ''[[Who Are You]]'' (1978); "[[The Quiet One (The Who song)|The Quiet One]]" and "You" for ''[[Face Dances]]'' (1981); and "It's Your Turn", "Dangerous" and "One at a Time" for ''[[It's Hard]]'' (1982), his final studio album with the Who.<ref name="thewho1"/>
