An album very much of its time, 1969. A large amount of the album still stands up today, but some is quite cringe worthy. Overall Tommy is a great indicator of what was to follow it in Who's Next and Quadrophenia. Highlights for me are Sparks, Christmas, Cousin Kevin, Sally Simpson, Welcome and Listening to you. I do remember hearing Tommy on and old transustor radio late at night on am early 70's and was hooked on The Who and Pete Townshend. Give it a listened if only to gain some perspective on a great and highly influential band.
