Justin Case Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The one XTC I would go with would be English Settlement with Drums a close second. I go way back with Primus. To about 1990. Seen Les in about 7 or 8 different configurations including a crazy NYE Show in SF AND Oysterhead in LA. In fact I live about 3 blocks from where he went to high school. Not that Im stalking him or anything. Haha Yep...definitely seen Les play in many configurations. The best was probably the first Frog Brigade tour where it was basically Sausage plus and they performed Animals. He kinda lost me around the time of Fancy Band...Gabby Lala...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even today it sounds as fresh as it did then. This concert tour was the second ever concert I went to and the first I went to without my parents. It was awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few people on a thread for an album that is supposed to be universally loved. Maybe things have changed since the seventies? "Critical reaction to Quadrophenia was positive. Melody Maker 's Chris Welch wrote "rarely have a group succeeded in distilling their essence and embracing a motif as convincingly", while Charles Shaar Murray described the album in New Musical Express as the "most rewarding musical experience of the year".[43] Reaction in the US was generally positive, though Dave Marsh, writing in Creem gave a more critical response.[43] Lenny Kaye, writing in Rolling Stone wrote "the Who as a whole have never sounded better" but added "on its own terms, Quadrophenia falls short of the mark".[41]Retrospective reviews have been positive. Chris Jones, writing for BBC Music said "everything great about the Who is contained herein."[44] In 2013, Billboard, reviewing the album for its 40th anniversary said "Filled with performances packed with life and depth and personality, Quadrophenia is 90 minutes of the Who at its very best."[45] The album has sold 1 million copies and has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[46] In 2000 Q magazine placed Quadrophenia at #56 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.[47] The album has been ranked #267 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[48]Townshend now considers Quadrophenia to be the last great album that the Who recorded. In 2011, he said the group "never recorded anything that was so ambitious or audacious again", drawing particular praise for Moon's playing.[49]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
