The Who - Quadrophenia



I'm an emotional fan of The Who. Sometimes I like them, some times I think I'll never listen to them again. That said, they're a Top 10 Greatest Rock Band of All Time, no doubt. The issue is that they've been a popular band to draw songs from to use in the media, movies and TV Shows recently. So they've been over-exposed...at least to me.

Quadrophenia, though, is my favorite The Who album. You'll recognize "The Real Me" and "The Punk and The Godfather". Those two songs are the backbone of the record and they're like diamonds. The bluesy "I'm One" is a big draw for me too.

If you're unfamiliar with The Who (other than 'My Generation' and 'Baba O'Riley', who hasn't heard those two songs), you'll probably want to start with Who's Next?. Just know that there's some out there that much prefer Quadrophenia

Very Highly Recommended
