Quadrophenia is really meaningful and has characters that you can relate to.Ħ Jesus Christ Superstar - Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber Quadrophenia is simply a masterpiece, with a beautifully made plot line, interesting characters, not to mention the sheer talent from every member of the Who! It's just a great story and a great album (why is everyone comparing it to American Idiot or whatever, you don't need to put down another album to know that this one is amazing)ĭefinitely has the best movie. Are you finally understanding why Quadrophenia is the best rock opera ever made, and probably the best that anyone will ever do.

The complexity and beauty of the lyrics in the álbum are a masterpiece.Īnd if you still don't believe in me that this is the best opera rock album ever made, so become to now that the respectful site Rotten Tomatoes gave to the adaptation in movie of this album 100%, do you now how rare this is is?, The movie adaptation from The Wall only receive 72% from the same site. Pete Townshend said about the album 'The music is the best music that I've ever written, I think, and it's the best album that I will ever write'

If you went to see the lists made by critics of music about this same subject, Quadrophenia always appear in 1st place! Do I nee to say more? Daltrey started finding his voice around 1970 and just got better and better all the way through Who Are You and 'You better you bet'Īre you kidding with me!? This is definitely the best rock opera álbum, made by the genius that created the same concept, Pete Townshend. But they are at the peak of their musical powers and you can hear it all in 'The Real Me' - Entwistle's blaring bass guitar, Moon's manic and brilliant drumming, and Townsend's guitar all shine but the real star of Quadrophenia might be Daltrey, who with his work on Who's Next (who can forget the scream on Won't Get Fooled Again?') and here elevated himself onto the Robert Plant, Mick Jagger level lead singers. The concept is a little sloppy and it almost feels like Townsend had to bend the story to work in the personalities of the 3 other members. There's no way number one is not for them The Who invented concept albums and rock operas. This album is the original rock opera and has by far one of the best stories in any opera I've ever heard.

The children in the end rebel, which is the song 'We're Not Gonna Take It.' I feel that this storyline by itself makes it #1. This cures tommy of his odd disease, hence the songs 'Sensation' and 'I'm Free.' Uncle Ernie tries to take advantage of Tommy's fame and starts a wildly overpriced camp for children of Tommy's old nature to be cured and learn pinball. His mother is mad that he is becoming too attached to the mirrors and smashes them. He becomes very attached to mirrors and they feel he can't see the things around him but himself in these mirrors. He discovers he is a 'Pinball wizard' and becomes famous around the world. He is then given to his molesting Uncle Ernie. A boy who witnesses his fathers death and is told not too see or say anything about it and his mind takes it to an extreme and he becomes deaf, dumb, and blind. Plus, it has the most obscure, but interesting story line. Tommy is just the best written of them all. Their most disciplined album, you can tell that they knew that they had gold. Producer Kit Lambert and The Who dialed it down to create a dreamscape type sound.

Almost the same for Tommy, but it doesn't have that sympathy that hits me with The Wall. I can sit and listen to The Wall over and over again and never lose interest. The Wall is absolutely the best rock opera. Runners up for me are Quadrophenia and Operation: Mindcrime. This ticks all of the boxes better than any other rock opera or album I have heard. My criteria for a quality rock opera: - pleasure of listening - quality of message - how interesting the story is - re-listen value - ability to portray a feeling - excitement Thank you Nick, Dave, Roger and Rick for giving us a masterpiece, and God bless the last one, you are forever in our hearts. I'm working on a script for a stage album, and it's turning out greatly. Just the words 'Hey you, would you help to carry the stone? ', especially with that harmonization, are enough to send chills down my spine. Still a classic with great guitar solos, lyrics and song transitions. Love it! The character progression of Pink is a bit scary by the end of the Album.
