The movie version was a bit of a letdown for me. Maybe I just preferred imagining the story of Tommy through the music alone - which, you gotta admit, can't be beat. (All three videos are clips from the movie.)
Elton John, "Pinball Wizard"
Tina Turner, "Acid Queen"
Eric Clapton, "Eyesight to the Blind"
I liked the film quite a bit, I even thought the soundtrack improved on some of the songs from the album, mainly the three you mentioned above.
ReplyDeleteAll great songs, but I preferred them when sung by John, Turner and Clapton.
I still love The Who though...
btw, I like your blog a lot, I'll try and comment more often!
By all means, do so. I could use the company!
