Nah. "Who Are You" was very overrated, I thought, not to mention annoying and overplayed. I would have put at least three of four songs from _Quadrophenia_ in this list: "Real Me," "5:15," etc. But your taste is just that!

"5:15" was close. Quadrophenia is one of my most favorite albums, The who or otherwise. The rest of the songs on it and Tommy are all good, but few stand out for my list.

"The Real Me" is an amazing song. Its construction is unique. What melody there is, is carried by the bass. The guitar and horns are there only to provide accent.

Quadrophenia greatly enhanced my chances of survival as a teenager. Man that music is so good. On another plane, Pete Townsend is my booooyfriend.

I'm not sure about boyfriend material, but he's one of the great songwriters.
