Title: Best Rock Opera: The Who's "Tommy" vs. Pink Floyd's "The Wall"
Post by: Newguy562 on January 11, 2012, 08:34:32 PM
Even though i'm more of a pink floyd fan i'mma have to go with "Tommy" just musically it's more of my taste and really flows together better than i expected. :) "The Wall" is good as well it may be slightly over-rated but the story is incredible.

NOOOO!! Quadrophenia is hard to get all the way through. the first disc is good. but the second one drags. and it has less songs!!

but anyway. Tommy is the best out of those. The Wall suffers from a week mid section (the last four songs of the first disc). picks up considerably in the second disc. but i prefer tommy. not by much.

Who Sell Out and Piper at the Gates of Dawn (yeah, I know, not exactly a concept album, but I loves me the Syd).

Not the most popular, but Duke by Genesis is the only concept album that evokes an emotional reaction from me

Rock Opera Wise, I'd have to say Quadraphenia, I can relate as a teenager who hates fitting in.
