There are some great songs on Quadrophenia, like 515 and Love Reign O'er Me, but as usual with the Who, Townshend would rather knock out some pretentious storyarc bullshit, rather than make a quality album like Who's Next.

 

I actually like Quadrophenia more, and I really like the story (even more than Tommy actually). Who's Next was actually going to be a rock opera too if you didn't know (It's called Lifehouse and Townshend actaully reconstructed it. It's an interesting read/listen if you're interested in Townshend's writing process).

 

Maybe because it stinks.

 

Second time you've posted something like that in this thread...I wonder if you've ever actually heard it? If so I can't really argue your views but if not you really should check it out, maybe you'll end up liking it:shrug:

 

 

Anyway, I still vote it the best and I reccomend it to anyone if you have the time (It is a double albums after all!):)

Have the album on vinyl (passed down from parents). Epitome of dad rock.

They're not underrated. They're just not very good.

Siamese Dream is a classic.

 

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a bloated, self-indulgent record comprised mostly of fillers.

 

I mean it's an album that's over two hours long. With 28 songs.

I never even noticed it was that long. I have the album and I pretty much enjoy every song, plus it has classics like 1979, Tonight Tonight, Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings. I don't really care if they made it to make money or if Billy Corgan is an asshole. I think its a great album.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is great. Not much room for argument there imo.

This is by far, hands down the most WRONG comment in this thread, especially The Fragile's left disk. JESUS Christ. Fantastic.

 

But hey, opinions differ, and that's fine.
