Quadrophenia was one of my favorite albums of all time
That was a work of genius.
Peter Townshend’s solo album ‘White City’ is also excellent work, related to Quadrophenia in that it is reflections on being raised in ‘the project’.
The Wikipedia entry ...
A loose concept album, its title refers to a story (called a "novel" in the album title) that accompanies the album, of which takes place in a low-income housing estate in the West Londondistrict of White City, near where Townshend had grown up. The story tells of cultural conflict, racial tension and youthful hopes and dreams in the 1960s — a world of "prostituted children", "roads leading to darkness, leading home" and despairing residents living in "cells" with views of "dustbins and a Ford Cortina". The song "White City Fighting", which features Pink Floyd's David Gilmour on guitar,[3] tells listeners that the White City was "a black, violent place" where "battles were won, and battles were blown, at the height of the White City fighting". The album opens with crashing guitar chords that capture a feeling of urban chaos, leading into "Give Blood", a song with Townshend's moral lyrics demanding listeners to "give blood, but you may find that blood is not enough".[4]
