Tommy

[ACEFACE6@aol.com]

In my opinion, Tommy is my favorite album. It is so amazing and complex I go
into  convultions when I listen to Overture. But, when I first heard Tommy I
thought it was pretty bad. Tommy is what actually made me into a who fan. I
heard pinball wizard ( which I now think is one of the weaker songs on the
album) when I was 6 and was told by my father it was about a deaf, dumb, and
blind kid. I was fascinated with the story and remembered it when my father
put on Who's Next which I loved. After that I listened to Tommy through once.
I hated it. But I don't know why I was still fascinated with the story and
out of curiosity kept listening to and tried to figure it out. After a few
months of listening to Tommy from beginining to end I suddenly loved it and
now started listening to it because I liked it. I don't know how many times I
listened to it but all of a sudden the songs just snapped into something I
loved. I think Quad is great, a little less complex, but has some great songs
which you like the first time you hear. I'm not putting any other who album
down but Tommy's still my man.
