For all we hear about 'The Wall' and 'Tommy', Quad I really believe is by far and away the greatest rock opera ever. Possibly the greatest rock album, period.
kieth was the heart beat of the who and could never be replaced and this is the best LP they ever made ! lol afriend of mine saw them well went to the concert but fell asleep lol in the days of qualudes lol
Mine, too. A masterpiece. The whole album is amazing. Certain albums you listened to from beginning to end and they were more than just entertainment- they were intense experiences. Quadrophenia is one of those albums.
The pictures are from the who's Quadrophenia(to the guy who asked). I thought everyone would kow where these pictures are from. Im 16 and know haha. Quadrophenia is possibly one of the best films ever made. The who are probably the best band there ever is and ever was.
I heard them play this album from begining 2 end..LIVE,19th row on the floor of the Molson Amphlatheater in Toronto...It was hard to keep the tears back man..I can now die fulfilled,and a happy man.The WHO f'n' rocks!
Greatest album ever, probably strikes a chord with a majority of young men. It got me through the tough years. Now, 30 years later, it's like an old friend.
The Quadrophenia album has no equal. This album probably has meaning to just about every young man - 'cept the silver spoon boys. This album got me through the rough years. Thirty years later I still listen to it - it's a trusted old friend.
Greatest false ending, any song, all time.

This is one of those songs you listen to whenever you want to be transported down to a shoreline. I love the acoustic at the beginning.

I saw them in 1975. The warm-up band was Toots and the Maytals. The crowd booed them off the stage. WE WANT THE WHO was the chant.
Keith Moon was fantastic. Starkey's playing is beyond excellent, but he ain't Keith.

very cool. The Who so far ahead of their time it's not funny. But, I guess one needs to be a real Who fan to really get it. They are different.
