Ads by Google Related Topics Quadrophenia film      Quadrophenia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quadrophenia was a double album released by The Who on October 19, 1973 (see 1973 in music), one of the group's two full-scale rock operas (except in a conventional use of the word "opera" as Quadrophenia is mostly a monoglot work rather than a varied drama). Quadrophenia was originally released as a two-LP set with a butterfly jacket and a thick booklet containing lyrics, a text version of the story, and photographs illustrating the tale. In 2005, A live performance of Quadrophenia from The Who's 1996 tour was included in a 3-disc box set released by Rhino Entertainment, also featuring a live performance of Tommy from 1989 as well as other hit songs performed live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrophenia   (974 words)      Quadrophenia Quadrophenia is one of the best rock albums of all time. Quadrophenia is arguably the best studio album The Who ever released. Quadrophenia is one of the greatest albums of all time; if not the best! http://www.thewho.net/reviews/quadrophenia.htm   (13336 words)      Quadrophenia (1979) The songs from the Quadrophenia album sounded pretty bland and flat for the most part. Based on the 1973 album by the Who, Quadrophenia tells the tale of Jimmy (Phil Daniels), a young man alienated toward much of his life. Granted, Quadrophenia was never the best-sounding album in the world, though I never heard the remix created by John Entwistle for the movie, so I don’t know how they compare. http://www.dvdmg.com/quadrophenia.shtml   (3356 words)      Quadrophenia Quadrophenia was originally released in the U.K. as Track 2657 013 on October 26, 1973. On September 28, 1973 it was released as a single in the U.K. prior to the album's release. Instead of creating a filmscript that would probably never be made, Pete planned Quadrophenia as an album that would be the soundtrack to a never-made film with both music and sound effects and a photo album to supply the images. http://www.thewho.net/linernotes/Quad.htm   (2671 words)      Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Quadrophenia [Remaster] - The Who at Epinions.com Quadrophenia is the greatest album in rock and roll history...bar none. While it's a full band number on the record, it has developed into a solo acoustical number that Townshend sings when Quadrophenia is performed. Forgetting the story, Quadrophenia still stands on it's own as a powerful rock album that never lets up from the time it starts with the overview of the four personalities and the ocean waves crashing that is I Am The Sea to the last Daltrey yowl on Love, Reign O'er Me. http://www.epinions.com/content_52585795204   (2470 words)      The Who: Quadrophenia - PopMatters Music Review Quadrophenia merges these musical developments with the band's continual lyrical themes: frustration, the pressures of style and conformity, the emptiness of daily life, and the quest for a secure spiritual foundation. He plays with all the abandon imaginable, and if you doubt that, just listen to the final second or two of the album, in which he manages to hit every piece of percussion in the studio. That's probably true of the relationship most people have with their favorite albums, and the fact that my life is going so well now probably has something to do with my keeping the record on the shelf. http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/w/who-quadropheniamft2.shtml   (1075 words)      Quadrophenia Given that Quadrophenia is a VERY difficult album to even find the time to sit down and listen to. This is undoubtedly one of the most grandiose undertakings of all rock-and-roll, and this is rightfully considered one of the greatest art-rock albums ever released. I first listened to QUADROPHENIA in January of 2000. http://donignacio.com/who/quadrophenia.html   (1362 words)      Rolling Stone : Quadrophenia : Review Quadrophenia is an awesome cd with the writing of Pete Townsend at its best. Pete, for better or worse, is possessed of a logic riveting in its linearity, and if in effect we are being placed in the mind of an emotionally distressed adolescent, neither the texture of the music nor the album's outlook is able to rise to this challenge of portraiture. Indeed, it might easily be said that the Who as a whole have never sounded better, both ensemble and solo, proving unalterable worth and relevance in an age that has long passed others of their band's generation into fragments of history. http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/_/id/111837   (1184 words)      Amazon.com: Quadrophenia: Music: Pete Townshend,Chris Stainton The release of Quadrophenia was the major rock release of late 1973. At the time of the release of their second double album rock opera Quadrophenia at the end of 1975, the answer would have probably been `yes'. On Quadrophenia, more than any other Who album, the bass is pushed right to the front of the mix, quite deservedly so. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002P1P?v=glance   (2316 words)      Amazon.com: Quadrophenia (Special Edition): DVD: Phil Daniels,Leslie Ash,Philip Davis,Mark Wingett,Sting,Ray ... As I explained when I mentioned how Quadrophenia, the album was my favorite album of all time, the tale of one man's struggle to fit in a place filled with the bubble-gum-pop Mods and the punk leather-bound Rockers. Quadrophenia is about that crucial time in teenhood when the lion's share of your sense of identity is tied up in the music you listen to, the clothes you wear, and the groups you hang out with. When "Quadrophenia" first came out in 1979, I think most people were expecting a "Tommy"-like rock opera, with music by The Who blasting from the speakers and Roger Daltry playing pinball adorned in a mask. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000055XMF?v=glance   (2256 words)      Trailer QUADROPHENIA Quadrophenia should be on that list, except that it isn’t a music movie. Sure, it’s based on the 1973 Who album of the same name, and it’s replete with dynamite tunes from rock and roll’s heyday (Booker T., the Ronettes, the Kingsmen). But Franc Roddam’s 1979 film is a film about youth — about an arcane youth culture, the Mods, and the attempts of one teen, Jimmy (a superb Phil Daniels), to find a place within it and within the larger world. http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/movies/trailers/documents/01683422.htm   (216 words)      Quadrophenia-It's a way of life Quadrophenia started out as a 1973 Who album and it eventually became a 1979 movie. This is probobly one of the more important sections of my Quadrophenia ideas only because watching this film or listening to this album make you think about these things. At the time I really got into this album, I was trying to figure out what there was and what I should do. http://www.geocities.com/jabsco.geo/quadrophenia.html   (1380 words)      The Who: Quadrophenia - PopMatters Music Review The life of a young, working-class Brit, this Mod "ticket" is opened wide, orchestral synths and distorted guitars whipping up an expansive and tumultuous sea which becomes the central image used by the Who's leading man, Pete Townshend, to drown the listener in the trope of the anti-hero, the punk. The Who's Quadrophenia seems to stand out as a rare example of an attempt to realize humanity in all its forms, in its darkness and beauty, and so is the most loveable album I've as yet encountered. Yet, if favorite status is conferred based on the frequency with which one listens to an album, as is often the case, it only makes sense that an album with greater emotional breadth would win out over the one-trick-ponies. http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/w/who-quadropheniamft1.shtml   (1047 words)      Quadrophenia When one of my college friends brought home a copy of The Who's album Quadrophenia in 1973 It seemed to be a great concept, treading ground that Tommy had not yet explored. Discouraged by the album's poor response, The Who shelved the staging of the rock opera and only did a few Quad songs at their concerts since then. The Who perform "Doctor Jimmy", "515", "Love Reign O'er Me", "The Punk and the Godfather" and all the music from the Quadrophenia saga. http://mcusiman.tripod.com/quad.html   (922 words)      eBay - Cassette: Quadrophenia Remaster (UPC: 008811146344) What's most impressive about 'Quadrophenia' is the musical and thematic unity of the songs, and the superb use of brass and keyboards to fill out the band's sound. http://product.ebay.com/Quadrophenia-Remaster_UPC_008811146344_W0QQfvcsZ1227QQsoprZ3562969   (400 words)      Quadrophenia (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quadrophenia is a 1979 British film based on the 1973 album by The Who. The film stars Phil Daniels as a Mod named Jimmy. Central to the story are the clashes between Mods and Rockers of the time, culminating with a bloody battle on a beach at Brighton, which was based on a real life event. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrophenia_(film)   (328 words)      The Who - Quadrophenia That album is on the list of things I have been meaning to pick up but have never gotten around to (as well as the Phish performance of the entire album from the Halloween show a few years ago).

Quadrophenia introspectively looks at the life of a mid-sixties mod from a vantage point of less than a decade, sometimes quoting the music of that time, other times lyrically simulating teen confusion.

Sex, drugs, violence and the peer pressure to do them are the cornerstones of teenage existence, just as descent into madness, adult obsolescence, trauma, and pain are the result of taking the above things either too seriously or, worse, not seriously enough.

Adapted from a double album written by Pete Townshend and performed by the Who (who also acted as executive producers for the film), QUADROPHENIA is one of the best films about youth ever made, beautifully illustrating the frustrations of being young and bright but still having no future. QUADROPHENIA episodically depicts Jimmy's struggles with his seemingly empty existence, alleviated only by his relationships with his pals, most of whom are in the same grim boat. http://online.tvguide.com/movies/database/Movie-Review.asp?MI=17277   (168 words)      Quadrophenia-The Film In 1964 London, Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) divides his time between hanging out with Mod friends and slaving in the post-room of an advertising firm.
