I posted my quadrophenia bump before reading your post. I just bought a new copy of the album cuz my old onehad oxidized from my days living onthe beach of LA. (No, i wasn't living on ON the beach -- I had an apartment, damnit!!:)) No other concept album, rock opera etc. has ever approached quadrophenia; No album ever exhibited such a command of leitmotif as did Quadrophenia. -That includes Tommy!! Zeppelin's physical graffiti was one of the greats, but it's simply an album with 2 extra sides. The Wall, the quinitsential double lp for many rock devotees, borders on trite in my opinion

Sorry for my ramble. I was just listening to quadrophenia yesterday -- brings tears to my eyes. As a former classical musician,I don't think there's a rock album I feel more passionate about


Feel the gin

I almost bought it a million times.

There's nothing like those 5 notes from Entwhistles French Horn being threaded through the whole album.

Quadrophenia is a Masterpiece, and my all time favorite.
I doubt there will ever be anything like it again, what a ride.

Amen to that. The Wall did not age well. And it aged very quickly.

I'd have to say that the old Rush albums have aged well, however.

And don't ask me why, but I'm a big fan the double album from Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans. 4 sides, 4 songs. Yeah, baby!
