The Who Sell Out

Quadrophenia is the epitome of bloated 70s dadrock. 60s Who >>>>> 70s Who

That one.

Sell Out is underrated but Quadrophenia has basically none of the qualities of generic 70's buttrock. If anything it's more proggy, but not obnoxiously so.

I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES AND MILES...

That one. Sea and Sand is the GOAT Who song.

Yeah Quadrophenia is their magnum opus. It's not just about a youth in conflict with himself and his lifestyle, but it's also so important for the time it was released, because it's one of the only albums of the 70s that blended progressive and punk rock (the two dominating yet clashing styles) in a really well done way. There are so many things I could say about this album. Easily in my top ten all time, maybe even top five.

Punk rock didn't really exist yet in 1973

It's my number 1 album of all time, I think what makes it so enjoyable too is how layered it is. I've loved this album since 8th grade but I still find new stuff in the songs

Not really no, but it was coming and would be a big conflict in rock music. Quadrophenia was able to introduce some proggy elements to more traditional rock and angsty youth themes that would form a large part of the basis for the punk movement
