#190 The Who, 'Tommy' (1969)

I’ve listened to this album so many times, but never actually listened to that extent. What a crazy story and an album that could only be released in 1969. The theme of ‘See Me, Feel Me,’ reoccurs frequently throughout the record, tying it together. The major hit on the record was ‘Pinball Wizard,’ which later became a hit for Elton John too. But this album is not about the hit, it’s about the sum of all its parts.
