Rock Operas

[joe]

A 'rock opera' presents a story line told over mutiple parts, songs, or sections unified over a common theme or narrative.

What is your favourite rock opera?

Personally I prefer the Pretty Thing's S.F. Sorrow.

 

[That 70s Guy]

I voted other but wanted to choose "The Wall"

oooops.

 

[METALPRIEST]

From this list THE WALL

 

[Death on Credit]

Ziggy played guitaaaaaar.

 

[Groovy Man]

Tommy - The Who

followed by, and in order...

Quadrophenia - The Who
The Wall - Pink Floyd
S.F. Sorrow - Pretty Things

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

"Scenes From A Memory" is my favorite album but there but I think it's a just a concept album that tells a story and not a rock opera. I feel the same about "Joe's Garage" and "Ziggy Startdust" albeit those albums have much looser stories. That's why I'm voting for "Bat Out Of Hell".

Operation: Mindcrime. One of my all-time favourite albums.

 

[Wanted Dead Or Alive]

Avantasia - The Metal Opera and The Wicked Trilogy

Ayreon would be my all time pick the story took 8 CD's to tell.

Operation Mindcrime gets my vote.
