Topic: Tommy or The Wall? Posted: December 10 2017 at 23:16 |
Really always loved the Wall, but I think Tommy is greater. To me it would be harder to choose between Ummagumma and Tommy.

I agree that both bands had better, and consider "Who's Next" and "Quadraphenia" far superior products from The Who.
I still like "Animals" the best of the modern Pink Floyd discography. | What's modern about "Animals"?

Don't like The Who at all. The Wall is a pretty poor album, rescued from a 1* rating by Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell. It is far worse than any album from AHM to Animals, their peak period.

Tommy has some great moments but I'd say at least one third of it is filler. Very little filler on the Wall imo so I went with the Wall.

Got to go with Tommy. It's was the historical trendsetter for these types of albums.

Tommy gets the vote, but Comfortably Numb gets me every time.

Very close vote: 12 -12 currently! I'll vote for the Wall because
it is an experimental concept album of outstanding diversity with several amazing
tracks: Hey you, In the Flesh, Comfortably Numb, Mother etc.
Tommy gets rather repetitive: no wonder, as it's a long
soundtrack.

Gotta go with The Wall. Ambitious, a little convoluted but an excellent album.

I listen to the Wall more often. Anyway there's a strict relationship between the two and Privilege.

I don't really care for either of these; there are better offerings available from both bands. But, of these two, The Wall. Now, if you had list Quadrophenia instead of Tommy, that would be a different matter...

Tieing vote! Tommy is great (yet I prefer Quadrophenia) but it doesn't pack the same punch for me as does The Wall.
