1. One of the most powerful love songs ever written.

I've seen them multiple times and they were simply the greatest band I have ever seen perform live.

Thanks for the reaction video, I normally do not like them, but this was special.

3. He picked up things I didn't.

I never got the drum/thunder part before.

4. I noticed that too. I never really got the drums like thunder either

But it's so obvious now when you listen to it.

7. I just stuck "Quadrophenia" on the CD player.

Totally starts with drums!

8. They were magical in their use of the instruments.

The rain, the thunder, the lightening, it was all there.

Right along with crushing love and the missing of that love while on tour.

9. And a practical application...

when I was a teenager, and loved listening to "Who's Next", my mother would yell at me to come set the table and I'd yell back, "as soon as the song is over", but right before I said that, I'd lay the needle on the long version of "Won't Get Fooled Again".

When I was a teen-aged girl, it was very important for me, apparently, to never leave my room.

10. My grandmother came in my room once right at the Won't Get Fooled Again scream

She was never the same after that!

2. THIS is why....

when people ask "Stones or Beatles?" I always answer "The Who".

The combination of Roger Daltrey's voice and Pete Townshend's music is one of the most serendipitous events of our lifetime.

This made my day, thank you.

5. His reaction to Rogers voice was like

"are you effing kidding me?".

I'm a Whooligan, but I truly think that 1,000 years from now, you could give Quadrophenia to any adolescent and they'd understand and get it.

Not a Zeppelin or Stones, or even Beatles album you could do that with.

6. Agree.

I don't know how PT captured teen-aged angst the way he did, I really don't, but jaysus.

Also, I underappreciated the lyrics to this song before.
