TS: Tommy vs. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway vs. The Wall

You don't find the Wall funny? "Day after day, love turns grey, like the skin of a dying man." Come on!

I don't even like "Tommy" that much but the other two are oppressive slogs to get through, and as Tarfumes notes at least "Tommy" has some energetic high points and levity plus a hilarious film adaptation

Come on, "Counting Out Time" is hilarious. xp

look, come on. peter gabriel, nuyorican street punk. i can think of few things funnier than that.

I am finally FINALLY listening to "Lamb" in its entirety as an adult, without outside enhancements - last time must have been around 30 years ago in a friend's dorm room, floored on bong hits - and it is marvellous. Almost doesn't sound like Genesis to my ears.

I can't imagine ever listening to the Wall or Tommy again. But I listen to Lamb all the time. Well, at least the first half.

I think I'll go with "none of them but would be quite willing to listen to a different album by either Pink Floyd, The Who or Genesis"

That's sorted, then!

lamb lamb lamb lamb

...are very good. Love their track 'Cotton Wool'...

It's a shame nothing ever came of the Jodorowsky collaboration. It seems like he was set to assemble a team similar to the one he pulled together for the defunct Dune adaptation (which was going to have a soundtrack by Pink Floyd).
