    The Who made a rock opera named Tommy. Anyone know it? what did you think? I thought it was sensational. Simple druged up fun. I thought the music was amazing, "He's a Pinball Wizard." Anyone else know this amazing show?

    Are you talking about the album or the film, Hippie420Agapi? The album is fantastic (in my opinion), but the film is pretty lousy.

    No, well, it lacks any memorable songs, as far as I've listened to it. I may have to listen more careful.

    the album is a bit overrated I think. the first half of it is good, but the second half is quite boring.

    personally, I prefer the who sell out.

    It's ok, 2 easy 2 zone and not even listen. There's a difference between relaxing music and boring music. I personally didn't like it, but The Who are still cool.

    Yeah, I'm not getting the "no memorable songs" thing. "Pinball Wizard," "I'm Free," and "See Me, Feel Me" (which is actually part of "We're Not Gonna Take It") have been overplayed, so they're obviously memorable. Plus, songs like "Amazing Journey," "The Acid Queen," and "Christmas," among others, are definitely great, memorable songs.

    Well, The Who Sell Out is a very good album.

    Well, I think Tommy is far from boring (or even relaxing). If you think Tommy is boring, don't invest in any ambient music. :p
