Big Who fan. I've thought I don't like them, hear a song and realize I really love them! One of the great things is the different sounds they have-like other great bands-over time, yet have great songs from all their different periods. Must admit that most of my favs come from Quadrophenia.

idk you guys but i'm pretty sure Quadrophenia is as progressive rock as you can get. and i can listen to the whole album anytime, and stuff like "the rock", "helpless dancer", "i've had enough", "sea and sand", "5:15" "Quadrophenia" never stops amazing me. the musical complexity and melodic concepts all over makes me think why arent they known as a prog band, at least some albums.

I agree. Quadrophenia has been my favourite album, period, for about 30 years now, and when I listen to it now, I continue to find new things in it. It is the moment, I think, when both Keith and John peaked in terms of both individual musicianship and as band members. the compositions are complex and varied, and the pacing and energy perfect. The weaving together of the four musical themes, coming together in The Rock, still can leave me breathless.

Keith's final interview, a few weeks before his death in 1978. Despite a sometimes clueless interviewer, there are some interesting responses. The guys are cordial and make no hint of trouble, but the fact is that Moon was so out of shape and playing so poorly that Daltrey/Entwistle wanted to sack him. Even Townshend, his last defender, was pretty pissed at the state of his playing.

Pete refers in an interview somewhere, to the sessions with Keith for the Quadrophenia movie as "exhausting." A shame, I think, as the original Quad album is probably Keith's high point. He really is superhuman on that one.
