Keep in mind that Tommy the movie was only based on the Who's rock opera. Though a lot of the music was the same, it was not performed by The Who, and I recall other songs added to it as well. The actual album is very good and a very important addition to any classic/prog or psychedelic rock collection. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring faith. If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal" - Carl Sagan | |

The movie however, um, yeah.....not so much. | |

Disagree. The "Tommy" film was certainly a departure from the original album and the film is totally dated as a '70s stoner movie, but the film has a distinct style and never ceases to be entertaining. Of course its over the top and it's supposed to be--this is a Ken Russell movie. And you can't dismiss the scene where Ann Margaret is slithering about in a sea of baked beans. | |

OMG, or Yellow Submarine?!?! Can someone say ACID?!!?!? ACID. Indeed. I havne't seen Yellow Submarine. Seeing that AND Sgt. Peppers might be enough to make my head asplode. Here's a fun(?) fact: Cousin Kevin from Tommy is played by the same guy as Dougie Shears in Sgt. Peppers. WTF. [Edited 9/25/06 6:48am] " | |

That's the only part of Tommy I've ever seen actually. It was kinda fun and freaky watching Tina shake around like that. She looks like she's having a seizure. | |
