Timbale Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 As great as Who's Next is, Quadrophenia is their masterpiece. The run of song off the top - The Real Me, Quadrophenia, Cut My Hair, The Punk And The Godfather, I'm One - they do not have 5 tracks anywhere else in a row that are that great. Obviously the songs on the album are not as well known as most of Who's Next...but Quad is jam packed with "should be" classics. Punk And The Godfather, I've Had Enough, Sea And Sand, Is It In My Head, Drowned - these are all at least as good as anything on Who's Next. And of course conceptually, Quadrophenia is so ambitious. The idea that Jimmy's 4 different personality types represent the four members of The Who (both thematically and musically) is really fascinating - and wholly unique. It makes it so that Townshend is essentially able to write a story about this mod character...but really be writing about The Who itself as an entity. I think that "musical genius" gets thrown around a lot...but if such a thing exists....I think there's a fair chance that Townshend circa '73 was approaching it. And...Moon's playing is the best of his career. :) I adore Who's Next, and often listen to a self made compilation that includes the other Lifehouse songs in the mix - some via The Who, some via Townshend's demos - to get a more full sense of the scope of what he was trying to do with those batch of songs. I wish he had pulled it off...or at very least that they had made a double album of it, because the Who's Next songs without Pure And Easy included (for example) is a real damn shame. Quadrophenia. Oh yes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 You know a few short years ago you could put Quadrophenia up against 99% of music (including Rush) on this website and it would win handily. I guess the tides have shifted towards a less cinematic taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
