mama? innaresting.. my favorites without a doubt the beach boys' surf's up. i'm surprised that you think that about tommy, especially pinball wizard.. first off whats wrong with pop? and also i just dont see whats really wrong with it, i mean its not NEARLY the best song on the album (give Christmas and Go To The Mirror a listen and tell me you still HATE tommy) but its certainly nothing less than awesome.
i hate sally simpson too haha, however im not a HUGE fan of in the flesh either.. though its certainly BETTER, the fact that its one of the very best songs on the wall doesn't say very much. i can't think of a song on quadrophenia that i like less than in the flesh? in fact, excluding the "opening" 'I Am The Sea'.

: Funny, for awhile, Comfortably Numb was once
: my fav song of all time, but now that honor

: rock WHATSOEVER, Pinball Wizard? whats so
: great about THAT stupid song? uggghhh.....

: studio album (live at isle of wight though..
: whooo... man..)

: oh and its way better than the wall. the
: wall was once my favorite album ever, but
: please take a step back and realize that,
: despite however PERFECTLY-designed it is, it
: REALLY doesnt cut it musically. john raves
: about sides 1 and 2 and puts down 3 and 4,
: but i really dont find most of the album
: interesting anymore, save a few tracks (even
: comfortably numb sounds comfortably bland..
: no offense). anyway, you should definitely
: get quad.

: For the longest time my top 3 fav bands were
: Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. About
: a month ago I got aquented with The Who and
: also learned that Zep was essentially a
: rip-off band. I bought Who`s Next and Leeds
: and got Endless Wire as a gift, like them
: all. The Wall is my fav album of all time. I
: read your praisings of Quad, yet Prindle
: seems to hate it. I heard Tommy (entire
: album) on the radio and HATED it. Is Quad
: more like Tommy or Next? is it better than
: The Wall?
