Literally nothing better. I saw them a few years back and they performed quadrophenia straight through with such energy for as old as they are. I was probably 12 or 13 and went with my dad. I'm 18 now and feel like I should revisit this just to see if I can tap into the angst a little more. The Who are the patrician dad rock band and always will be

>Quadrophenia is one of the GOAT tho
David Nguyen
Quadrophenia has so many 10/10 moments it's actually impressive. On top of the entire band essentially being at peak performance, you have things like:
>the leitmotifs being both very obvious at times and very subtle at times
>The Real Me essentially being just a bass solo through the entire song
>Keith Moon's fills (which if you pay attention, while he's doing crazy fills, HE'S STILL KEEPING TIME)
>The Punk and The Godfather's bass-guitar alternation
>the many sectioned songs like I've Had Enough and Sea and Sand
>when Drowned reverses to 5:15
>DOCTOR JIMMY AND MISTER JIM
>the instrumental jams in Quadrophenia and The Rock
>the fucking vocal performance in Love Reign O'er Me
LOOOOOOOOOOVE

Plus the four themes defining each band member really makes it
Mason White
They all really fit the band members as well, which is really great.

>when you faintly hear the beginning of The Real Me at the end of I Am The Sea
Buckle up, 10/10 album about to begin
Wyatt Hernandez
In the early 80's I was a Mod revivalist, this was a superb album.
Saw if preformed live a couple of years back and it was even better.
Brody Lopez
I Am The Sea is probably one of the best introductions ever done to any album period, and even if you don't consider it a track The Real Me is easily one of the best opening tracks of all time.
Jose Martinez
>the drums during the Roger's theme part of Quadrophenia and The Rock
Jackson James
If you really pay attention the whole leitmotif section (including rhythm) shows up in many, many different ways through the song. It's such a great album, there's so many of those callbacks.
Ethan Adams
Turn it up that bit.
Elijah Perez
I take it you liked The Knack and The Plimsouls too?
