I agree that they're catchy and well put together, theyw rote some great pop tunes, but they're nothing special.

Well, considering the time period, they were. People naturally flocked to the care free "cars and girls" vibe they threw out. Plus, they established surf music as a mainstream medium.

I wouldn't really say "surf music" is a mainstream genre, but I agree that a lot of their songs were products of the time.

Well, it was fairly nonexistant on the radio at the time.

In all honesty, if brian wilson hadn't gone through and cranked out "pet sounds" We could probably dismiss them as just another early sixties pop band.

Keith moon of the who always wanted to be a surf drummer so they did a cover of barbara ann in "the kids are alright" (dont know if you like the who or not) but I always thought this was funny.

Hahah! That's fucking hilarious.

True fact. Keith Moon got kicked out of the studio while The Who recorded vocals because his voice sucked so much.

"I'm yer uncle ernie and I welcome you to Tommy's holiday camp-ah!"

okay.

don't know whether or not you'd like quadrophenia though.

If I ever find a copy I'll check it out, but I'm not interested enough to search for one. I'm afraid it will ruin the album for me. Silly, I know, but Quadrophenia is probably my favorite album by The Who and one of my favorite of all time.

It's a bit different than the album. Probably the biggest change iis what the plot's focus is. The album is all about the four personalities. The movie has little focus on that, it's mainly about the mods vs. rockers.

sum magzine ranked it the 30-something-th best british film ever.

Really? Well, at least they changed it up. Tommy is really closely based on the album and suffers for it.

I think it's just kinda hard to interpret an album into a movie. I saw The Wall and it doesn't make sense unless you read a plot summary in advance. Quadrophenia's good thing is that its plot is looser-ly related to the album, yeah.

BTW, if you wanna watch Quadrophenia, some guy uploaded it to YouTube. It's an alright movie. Fucking hilarious to see British teen agers singing along to My Generation at a party with their British accents. And when the main character sings You Really Got Me with his accent, it's funny too.

They are awesome. My dad has all their albums.

Check it out one day, thanks for the info.
