The Who
πŸ“€ Quadrophenia
#Rock #HardRock #ProgressiveRock #RockOpera

50 years ago The Who from London, #UK released their 6th studio album.

Issued as a double album, Quadrophenia is a Concept Rock Opera entirely written by Pete Townshend: set in London and Brighton in 1965, it tells the story of a young "mod" named Jimmy and his search for self-worth and importance.

A film version of Quadrophenia directed by Franc Roddam came out in 1979: it was a commercial and critical success, crucial for the Mod Revival movement of the late 1970s / early 1980s.

The Who
πŸ“€ Tommy
#Rock #HardRock #ProtoProg #ProgressiveRock

55 years ago, on πŸ‘‰ Pete Townshend's birthday, The Who from London #UK, released their 4th studio album.

Tommy is considered the first #RockOpera in history! Townshend started working on it since their previous πŸ‘‰ 1967 concept album, also trying to translate in music the spiritual teachings of πŸ‘‰ Meher Baba (of whom he was a follower).

Issued as a double album, Tommy was a critical and commercial success and was performed live during iconic festivals such as Woodstock, Isle of Wight, University of Leeds.
The album contains #TheWho signature singles "Pinball Wizard", "I'm Free", "See Me, Feel Me/Listening To You" (the latter inserted in various parts of Tommy and sublimated as closing track)❀️‍πŸ”₯
