As mentioned above, the subject of Tommy was a lot easier for people to grasp. Very few in the U.S. knew anything about the mods. The storyline of Quadrophenia is more complex as well.
Then when the Who took Quadrophenia on the road, they had all kinds of problems performing, with at least Daltry being vocal in his dislike of it, so that probably put the public off it as well.
I agree the movie is great. Definitely Sting's best moments on film.
The new Deluxe Quadrophenia sounds great IMO and is worth buying. The demo tracks are quite interesting as well, which is usually not the case on most remasters.
