The Who, The Founder Of The Rock Opera

Rock operas are rare and beautiful things. It is only fitting we tribute the band which came up with such an idea. And no, Sergent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club band was not the first rock opera. It's just an nicely put together album. The first real rock opera is Tommy, by your's truly, the Who. If you don't know, Tommy's the story of this guy who becomes deaf, dumb, and blind and is this pinball playing genius. Listen to it. Do not whine. Spend that $11.99 and buy the stupid album! Baba O'Riley, aka Teenage Wasteland, is another great song by the who. All the covers, suck. Do not listen to the covers. My Generation is another good song. Are they good? Who knows?
