This has to be the most underrated album of the '70s. Quadrophenia is The Who's masterpiece. The standard of double-album rock operas, the spectacular songwriting and performances on this album continue to put most modern rock to shame.

This is my favourite album of all time. The music is sublime, the lyrics perfectly capture what it was like being a mod in the 60s and the concept is a thing of beauty. This album has helped me get through a lot and I'm always finding new subtle things about it that I absolutely love. I don't think I will ever hear an album better than this. Perfection.

One of the best stories in a rock opera ever - simplistic yet touching. As you follow the story of Jimmy, you get closer each song, as well as the album being very good musically and lyrically.

Lots of great tunes, but a little too long and overly ambitious to succeed as an album.

It's a good thing the Who had serious chops because if a lesser talented band attempted to make something this indulgent, it would be gruesome.

I know I'm bias for saying this if you look at my chart, but how is this album not ranked higher??

Better than Dark Side of The Moon to me because it is longer, rocks harder, and dare I say has better production than the Pink Floyd album.

Truly the Who's defining achievement, and quite possibly the greatest rock album of all time.

This is the album that inspired me to be a musician, so maybe I'm a bit biased in saying it's the best album of all time. That being said, there isn't a single note on this album I dislike. Everything about it is so brilliant, the concept, the music, the themes, the lyrics. This is the perfect rock album.
