"I bought the highlights album a couple of years ago because the double cd set was too expensive, and i love it. It has all of the best songs from the musical. Even though it doesn't have all of the songs they are in the order of the storyline and you don't really miss out. I higly recommend this album."
Great album, mediocre recording

"If you already love Tommy and have the original recording by the Who, you should listen to this as well for the sake of comparison. If you've never heard any version before, you should listen to the Who's recording instead. This Broadway recording has some lyric and song changes from the original. It has a new song (I believe my own eyes) which is pretty good but standard Broadway material; the songs that were left out (like Sparks & the Underture) were stronger musically. There are many other smaller changes. I found this album to be kind of vanilla. It lacked intensity and leaned more toward standard musical than rock opera."
