It wasn’t, and isn’t, underrated by me.

In college (77-83, I was a co-op and got a masters degree), I would drive about 6 hours home to see my parents, probably 4-6 times a year. It became a ritual for me to listen to Quadrophenia straight thru on cassette for at least one of the trips (going or coming back), if not both.

Is there a better bass line anywhere than Entwhistle’s on The Real Me?

Yep, pretty amazing. Even more so listen to the live version of Dreaming from the Waist from the extended version of Who By Numbers. Jaw dropping Bass playing.

Although the original Quadrophenia tour was a disaster, the 1996 tour with guest singers and narration by "Jimmy" (Phil Daniels) was exceptional.

The 2012-2013 Quadrophenia tour was a breathtaking multimedia extravaganza that was one of the top 5 shows I ever saw...the backdrop of world events streamed during "The Rock" including 9/11, Keith and John's passing may be THE most spectacular combo of visuals and sound ever in rock.

Absolutely the greatest rock concept album ever. Better than Tommy.
