I've always liked the Who, but I've never been as heavily into them as I have the Beatles and the Kinks. There's really only one Who album that I would give 5 stars (Quadrophenia).

I bought Quadrophenia off my friend a while back and listened to it for the first time yesterday. It was extremely promising.

The Who are another band that I have always been more hits-oriented towards. I have most, if not all, of their albums, but I enjoy their "Who's Better Who's Best" compilation album the best of anything. I find many of their non-hits to be average.

I've listened to Quadrophenia once and didn't enjoy it at all. :(

I just think the musical unity of Quadrophenia puts it over the top. Basically, "Quadrophenia" as a word refers to a personality split four ways. Townshend renders this with four strong recurring musical themes correlating to these four sides of the protagonist's personality, and also conveniently correlating to the four members of The Who. The four themes work well both alone and together (in fact this latter point is proven by the penultimate track which plays all four themes at once).

I love that scene in The Song Remains the Same during Moby Dick where Bonham's son is playing those little drums and John joins in, and his son does that little drum stick twirl. So adorable!

Listening to A Passion Play now, IA's best vocal performance, IMO. Makes me sad to think about how his voice have detroriated over the years

I like doing that too, although I don't have many full discographies. It's a great way to listen to music, IMO, listening to an artist's albums one after the other.

I can stay on an artist for about two weeks, but while also on a few more bands.

I usually can't either -- I like to bounce around a lot. But lately I've been trying it out and it's an interesting way to listen to stuff.

Last year when I discovered Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, I did not listen to anyone else for about 2 weeks. That was very unusual for me though. I thought I was going crazy. His music's pretty hallucinatory anyway.

Quick question: How many eggs can you fit in your mouth? Is it more than you can fit in your anus?

If you take away the shell, I could probably fit seven of them in my mouth. Not sure about the anus.

Oh without shell? Probably like four or five then. Still think zero in the anus.

I know one can stretch a lot more than the other, and that's all I have to say about that.

I was being kind of annoying around my dad and he said "I wonder if I could throw this cracker into your head". I replied with "Well, in order for the cracker to get through my head, you'd have to throw it somewhere in the likes of 500 MPH. Even if you were able to throw that hard, it would rip your arm off in the process. The arm would most likely slow the cracker for a split second as it left the cracker. The cracker would probably not reach my head because of this, or at least not penetrate my head. So, throwing the cracker would have no negative effects on me, but would result in a lost limb for you."
