Rock Operas

[chaichai8 :)]

Who all likes the rock operas? The who-tommy, pink floyd- the wall, the pretty things-SF sorrow?

Tommy...with Keith Moon playing Uncle Ernie to 'Fiddle About'...enough to make yer skin crawl.

Brilliant tunes;

Amazing journey
I'm Free
Pinball Wizard
The Acid Queen
Christmas...

I don't know that I'd call the wall a rock opera. its more of a concept album, but it could easily be considered a rock opera.
Some other good Concept albums/Rock Operas:
Jesus Christ Superstar
Deltron 3030
Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa
* I don't know phishfood. Would you classify Joe's Garage as a rock opera? Cuz' if The Wall qualifies then Joe's garage definitely does too
Hemisperes, 2112, A Farewell to Kings - Rush
Only Built for Cuban Links - Raekwon
Rocky Horror Picture Show

Uncle Meat by Zappa is heaps good.

Tommy is good but to me, i like Quadrophenia better.

the Wall is good too. the movie is really freaky

Tommy is my favorite movie/album/stage production of all TIME!!! Quadrophenia was my 1st Who album, and I loves it! I loves my rock operas!

the quadrophenia movie is really good, if you can get it , do.

its depressing at the end but is a true story of life
