I was never a big big fan of Quadrophenia when it first came out - to heavy handed I thought instrumentally and wasn't fond of Daltrey's macho sounding voice. I'll have to take a revisit now and see what I think. I have grown to appreciate Tommy though.
ReplyDeleteQuadrophenia is my favorite Who album. I actually just "dusted it off" the other day and drove around listening to the entire thing. I never get tired of it because I don't play it out. Every time I hear it I am blown away. I can't wait to delve into some of these early demo's and out-takes. Many old school bands are re-releasing their greatest works with live versions and demo cuts (and most of them I first heard about right here). I am thrilled that The Who decided to do the same with Quadrophenia. I'll have a spot reserved in our CD case for this one!!
