Dr. Jimmy,
This isn't the explanation you asked for, just another example. I
think Who's Next is the best Who album, and Quadrophenia is my
favorite Who album. I hold this as a rather permanent opinion, unlike
my transitory opinion of my favorite Who song, which today is "The
Rock" from Quadrophenia (apologies to Roger; now I see why Caroline
S. "cheated" and picked the last 3 songs from Quad).
OK, here's a possibly lame analogy to explain: Is the greatest person
you know also your best friend?
To all,
I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas, the holiday which, along
with Easter, answers the musical question:
"How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?"
My Christmas present to you is to not reply to this:
