I love The Who, but Tommy always struck me as a bit of a silly, naive story, and not that great a recording technically. I finally figured out why (the latter part): Townshend says in his book that they ended up using his scratch electric guitar tracks that were never intended for the final release. The fairly wimpy-sounding electric guitar is what always bugged me about this record. Some great songs certainly, but as an album, Who's Next and Quadrophenia top it by miles (and miles).

I love that too, but Quadrophenia is them.

100 per cent agree. The songwriting peaked with this album. Production and studio wise it was Quadrophenia but the songs on Sell Out have a very broad canvass. And Townshend's playing is exquisite, especially on Sunrise.

Stop it. That's just a lot of hipster talk. If Dave Marsh wants to believe it's all been downhill since 1967, fine, let 'em, but don't you believe it, too.

However, Pete seems to regard I Can See For Miles as his masterpiece and was devastated when it failed to grab the public, especially in the UK.
