I hate Tommy. This is the album:
01. Boring pretentious instrumental 02. Wicked stupid lyrics that distract from music 03. Boring 04. Nope 05. The first good song on the album 06. This song is awful, the words are really stupid 07. As if "Overture" wasnt boring/long enough 08. Another one of those stupid tracks that just repeats one or two lines that has no musical merit but was included to solidify the 'concept' rather than contribute to the record in a musically appealing way. 09. Do we really need to hear "Fiddle About" repeated 30 times in one song? You're ****ing creepy Pete Townsend. 10. Hmmm, the guy who is funding (I think, he had something huge to do with the album being released, I know that) likes pinball, so Townsend does one of the most disgusting acts in rock n roll history and basically writes a sort of 'product placement' song. Townsends nose has been chocolate brown ever since, and 40 years later I still have to hear "pinball wizard" on classic rock radio repeated 50 times in one day, followed by some 20 something college stoner who listened to eminem in 10th grade asking me, "How can you not like this song?!?!" Kill me. 11. See #8 12. As if the concept wasnt getting ridiculous enough 13. No, Tommy cant ****ing hear you, hes deaf. 14. Im so sick of this record. 15. Boooorriiiinnggg 16. See #15 - 17. Nope. Sucks. 18. I'm Free is the second good song on this record. 19. I dont even remember this one, which says alot, Ive owned this album since I was 16. 20. Ooohhh a holiday camp for children! Townsend must be creaming his shorts! 21. We're not gonna take it is the 3rd good song on this album. I agree wholeheartedly about "The Who Sell Out" being better. Its the fact that, not only are the songs not-boring, but the concept doesnt interfere with the music. The commercials are short enough that I dont have to skip them, and theyre supposed to be funny commercials anyway, which is ENTERTAINING unlike Tommy. 3 good songs, thats the only reason I keep it around, but they do not make up for that atrocious record. I hate Quadrophenia too. Thank God 'Who's next' came out instead of 'Lifehouse', thats all I have to say. |

Tommy is a great example of music for an acquired taste.If you weren't there for it, it seems out of context of anything, but I assure you it's regard as a classic is deserved.

"100 Things That Pisses Me Off About Music":
Anyone who's bought an album from any of these "artists"(and i use that term lightly-more like "piles of ****") in the past 2 years, or ever: The Jonas Bros-WHY? if you did buy one of their albums or any song by them: Please...do not EVER EVER EVER post here again, as you will not be taken seriously. Lindsey Lohan Celine Dion My Chemical Romance Avril Levigne ANYTHING "Hip Hop"(lets face it folks, it all SUCKS. Not some, not a little, it ALL sucks) Kanye Waste 50 cent Pretty much anything current on the radio

I agree. I hated Tommy for years...then one day I realized how great it was. It's the kind of album you have to listen to during the winter, when it's cold outside and you don't really feel like doing anything.
