Gary, I'm sorry if my comment about the Who rubbed you the wrong way earlier; I have to regress and say that I love a lot of their material.
And, as I said in that post, this is their masterpiece. It was Pink Floyd's The Wall before Pink Floyd's The Wall, which I think is an enormous achievement.
While there certainly is a good bit of filler here, the climaxes throughout the album are among the best in all of music.
If I remember correctly, it's currently at #22 on my chart, with a score of 9.5.

No problem Applerill
Guess I got a bit touchy when I "thought" the #5 album on my chart was getting disrespected.
Also, when I was around 12, 13, and 14 years old The WHO were my favorite band. But then I discovered all of the Beatles albums.
This is my favorite song on Quadrophenia with a video of my favorite drummer

This album means a tremendous amount to me. As I commented early on, Quadrophenia got me through high school. The reason I said that is, I believe there are two great works of art that capture the angst, the confusion, the frustration, and overall pathos of late adolescence ( 17-20): JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and The Who's Quadrophenia. I experienced both at just right the time, and I'm glad for it. I have a lot more to say about Quadrophenia, but I have to go to work now (not a dirty job, although I've worked my share of those). I'll write more later.

I will stream it and see if I should build it. I have done this once before and decided not to buy the tracks I needed because I thought half of the tracks were weak, but maybe I wasn't in the right mood that day. I will give it another chance.
My The Who Set
Face Dances (1981)
Tommy (1969)
The Who Sell Out (1968)
Who's Next (1971)
plus 9 songs left on a greatest hits

What about this one?

Am I the only person in the world who genuinely had a pretty good time in high school?
Everyone else seems to talk about high school like veterans talking about 'nam. _________________ A dick that's bigger than the sun.
