The entirety of "Quadrophenia"!
The whole album is incredible.
If I must pick a fave ["you must, you must"] I'll hop on the "Reign o'er Me" bandwagon.
ADD: Oh yeah!! 5:15, The Real Me, Punk/Godfather
Sparks, Happy Jack, omg

"Won't Get Fooled Again". Epic by the two definitions; good and long. It's one of the few epics (latter definition) that I can stand. Shining moments for everyone really, especially Daltrey and Townshend. I find it amazing that Townshend's guitar is so effective despite simplicity.
"My Generation". The bass solo/guitar solo trade off is great. And the lyrics...those are great. I wonder if The Who still play it. Maybe they changed the lyrics a bit so that they're reflecting their age.
"5:15" (only when it's live). The only reason I love the song live is because of the bass solo John Entwistle always includes. Best live bass performance!
"The Real Me". Now this is just one of Entwistle's greatest moments, and one of the greatest bass moments in rock 'n' roll. The bass performance here is absolutely brilliant.
"I Can See For Miles". One of The Who's edgier, harder rocking songs. Once again, Pete Townshend wrote a brilliant song.
"Love Reign O'er Me". Daltrey's greatest moment in my opinion. The vocals are excellent!
Yeah, something like that. But since you didn't pluralize "song", I'd say the first song I mentioned.

The Seeker
That awesome Townshend riff from the beginning just grabs me and won't let go

Baba O' Reilly.
Simply because everyone gets the name wrong. So many think the name of it is "Teenage Wasteland"...

Again, this is one of those bands where there really is no "one' favorite. They simply have too many good ones.
Among them fo rme:
Naked Eye
Let's See Action
Bargain

It's hard to choose because there are so many.
Reign o'er me is a great one, even though a lot of people think it's rain on me.
