the body electric Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Who's Next. For decades one of my Desert Island Discs (top ten albums of all time/ten albums I would take to a deserted island). In The Light since 1972. Trampled Under Foot. My life with Led Zeppelin. http://petedelorean.tumblr.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shep Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 For many years, Who's Next just pipped Quadrophenia for me. However, the wisdom of age has shown me that Townshend's true masterpiece is in fact Quadrophenia, which is simply flawless from start to finish, whereas Who's Next is weakened by My Wife and Going Mobile. It will forever be one of life's great mysteries as to why he jettisoned Pure & Easy for those two lame dogs. It's a tragedy that The Who's career took such a precipitous nosedive after Quadrophenia, much in the same way as LZ's after Presence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ady Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I love the film, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHXoqBhqChk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shep Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 ^ Ady, have you heard the full set of demos which accompanied the director's cut of Quad last year? Much better than the limited selection that have been doing the rounds for years. They are quite stunning, and just go to show what a genius Pete is, to create all that stuff almost fully-formed in a little home studio. And it was genius, IMO - as opposed to megalomania, in the case of say Roger Waters, who created incoherent rubbish like The Wall & Pros & Cons, and forced the band to choose between them. Talk about the lesser of two evils...jeez... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, my copy of "Quadrophenia" is the first DVD release from 1999 which is just a VHS - DVD transfer and bugger all in the way of extras. I should upgrade really. I'll look into it after Christmas, cheers. *edit* Oh, were you talking about a CD release? My CD is ancient, too! Is this what you're talking about?

Old Shep Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 No, I meant the box set of the audio. It's torrented all over the place, costs a fortune to buy. Awesome accompanying book too, it's all scanned in the torrent I found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shep Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Actually it's one of few things I've DL'd that I'd happily pay for. If I could find one for £50 I'd grab it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strider Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) 1. Who's Next (to Old Shep: Zounds! My Wife and Going Mobile are two of my favourites from this album! Pure and Easy should have replaced Love Ain't for Keeping) 2. Live at Leeds 3. The Who Sell Out 4. The Kids Are Alright 5. Quadrophenia I'm surprised I'm the only one who has mentioned a pre-Tommy album. Is there no love among Who fans here for the Mod-era Who?

The Grande @ Detroit Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Quadrophenia, Who Are You, and Who's Next. I find myself liking songs that were written by The Ox more and more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talk about the lesser of two evils...jeez... + 1 BILLION! You deserve a beer for that...here: You pretty much expressed my sentiments exactly...I've long felt Pink Floyd one of the more overrated bands of the 70s. They slowly got worse and worse post-1973. For me, "Animals", "The Wall", and "Final Cut" are nigh unlistenable. The Who also had their problems post-'73(mostly Moonie's state of mind/health), but the Who was still miles above Pink Floyd as a live act. Unless you're the type of anorak who goes to concerts to see cartoons and inflatable pigs and doesn't care if the actual "music" is any good or delivered with any recognizable feeling or passion.

Led_Rock_Hard Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 1.Quadrophenia is my favorite Who album, no question. 2.Tommy 3. Who's Next 4. The Who Sell Out (I love the pirate radio format) 5. A Quick One. If you add in live albums, Live At Leeds would knock everything below Tommy down a place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cletus Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Who's Next and Quadrophenia are both about equal in my books. Followed closely by Who Are You and Tommy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaiser Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hands down "The Who Sell Out". Not only my favorite Who album but my favorite concept album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LedZeppfan77 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hands down "The Who Sell Out". Not only my favorite Who album but my favorite concept album. Not really a studio production though. I love the Who. For me its a tie between Who's Next and Quadrophenia. Tommy is great and so is the Who by Numbers. Quadrophenia may be one of the best damn albums ever. In their prime to me they are the second best band of all time second only to Zeppelin. I have to give them the edge over Pink Floyd and the Stones. Must. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to give them the edge over Pink Floyd and the Stones. Must. It's totally & nothing but a studio production. There's not a song recorded live on it & for that time had numerous overdubs on it. "Sgt Pepper" & "Pet Sounds" are probably the only albums of that time by a band to have more studio tinkering outside of a Phil Spector production. "Sunrise" is the only sparse song on the album & even that is has overdubs, vocal effects, etc. "Armenia City In The Sky" & "I Can See For Miles" have everything but the kitchen sink thrown in. Regardless, "Who By Numbers" would be my second favorite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
