from start to finish. I love all the Who albums. This is one of their most accomplished. In addition to those themes, it also gets into the mods versus rockers stuff going on when they were growing up. They were definitely mods, with the vespas, smart clothing, parkas, etc. 5:15, Punk meets the Godfather & Love Reign Over Me are among their best songs. Thanks for sharing this here. I'd never seen it. The feature film of Quadrophenia is fantastic too. Sting plays the bell boy. The lead actor is amazing. Glad they are touring now and playing this entire album from start to finish!
