  Seven Songs for the Week #151 - 25th Feb 26

  Jason Carty

  At some point before Christmas, I pre-ordered the Quadrophenia Atmos/Surround bluray. It was in the back of my mind, then turned up on Monday, four days before its release date. I have Atmos speakers which can play Atmos music off an AppleTV box, but my bluray player doesn't output Atmos, only 5.1. So I listened in 5.1 and it sounds great. I have owned some version of Quadrophenia for about 35 years. This week might be the first time I sat down and listened to the whole thing almost uninterrupted. Which isn't to say that I don't know this record, I do, but it does benefit from attention and also from the surround. To me it sounded like a great mix, leaning into the sound effects and rear speakers. You'd forget that Quadrophenia has a title track, but it does.

  Favorite 50 Albums of All Time

  "Why do I have to move with a crowd of kids that hardly notice I'm around?

  I work myself to death just to fit in..."

  A relentless rock 'n roll onslaught spanning two albums. When they were at the top of their game as they are here, the Who were one of the best rock BANDS around, with John Entwistle and Keith Moon among the best rock bassists and drummers ever. Not to mention Pete Townshend's guitars and his pioneering, painstaking synthesizer work.

  Best albums ever recorded by mankind

  Fiveover

  The "Real Me". Best bass/drum work in rock history. First album I really identified with. It spoke to me during my "Mod rebellion" in high school.
