should've done this for its 40th anniversary several months back, but after the Tommy poll, i might as well do the same thing with Quadrophenia, which MANY people prefer over Tommy (and Who's Next for crying out loud!!!). so, out of all the songs, which is the best in your opinion? and again, because i don't know how to do it, i shall let you move this to the proto-prog lounge.

Great album! Probably "The Real Me" but all are absolutely incredible

I went for "Doctor Jimmy" but am equally fond of "Bell Boy". ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Not my fave Who album but I've always adored 5:15 (can't beat that horn arrangement) -------------

I'm One, which captures the personality of Jimmy and his peers so precisely. The live acoustic version of The Secret Policeman's Ball was incredible. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

The Real Me, Punk, 5:15 , and Love Reign are all great songs but I have always liked Tommy better.
The Mods vs the Punk thing just never appealed to me . ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

So many great songs, but "Love, Reign O'er Me" is majestically epic. Special shout out for "Bell Boy". ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Just incredible that bursting energy of The Rock and Quadrophenia - by far the BEST instrumental intros from The Who ! The rest of the album just OK for me except Love, Reign O'er Me, which I also enjoy.

| Was tempted for Love Reign O Me, but as it's a bit of a landslide I'll go 5.15. |
