Which is the best version of the music?

I've just watched this movie for the first time since I was a teenager. As a piece of pop-art it's amazing, but I don't like the musical arrangements much at all. Am I the only one?

Tina Turner was amazing as the Acid Queen, but I wished they'd not scored her song quite so high - she has a tendency to screech anyway, she doesn't need any encouragement! But most of the songs sounded like they had no actual melody.

I doubt I'm going to get any agreement, but so far I think the best version of the music is the one Pete Townsend arranged and produced with Roger Daltrey and the London Symphony Orchestra and guest singers like Maggie Bell, Rod Stewart and Ringo Starr. It was finally released on CD at the end of last year, I think.

Any thoughts?




You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
