It’s better than what they did with Tommy.

Never seen the movie but the soundtrack is top tier.

“So it only follows”

No, no it doesn’t.

The Who, world’s greatest rock band.
Doesn’t mean they are the world’s greatest movie producers.

Baba O’Riley is my wake up music.

It’s a good movie. Probably not better than most of those in the list. Amazing great album, definitely The Who’s magnum opus. The movie is way better than the Tommy movie though, so give it that.

Quadrophenia was a great album, but a mediocre movie. I’d never put the film up against the greats, but the music still holds up. Tommy, Who’s Next, & Quadrophenia defined my musical g-g-generation. “The Exodus is here, the happy war drawn near....”

And this is relatively newly remastered and worth watching. Right before it all exploded into huge venue shows.

It was a big ask to introduce Jimmy and his tribe without much context, at least for American audiences

I remember being dragged to a midnight showing of Quadrophenia by a friend when I was in college.

I didn't understand a thing about it (including the British rhyming slang) and fell asleep for most of the movie. My friend loved it, though.

My favorite Who album. Entwhistle was at the top of his game.
