Best Rock Opera?

Notable Albums(off the top of my head)

Bob Dylan-The Times They Are A-Changin'
The Beach Boys-Pet Sounds
The Pretty Things- S.F. Sorrow
The Who-Tommy
The Kinks-Arthur
David Bowie-The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Who-Quadrophenia
David Bowie-Diamond Dogs(Debatable)
Rush, 2112 Meat Loaf-Bat Out of Hell
Pink Floyd-The Wall
Styx-Kilroy Was Here

Please feel free to add onto the list!

My fave Rock Opera is a time between Ziggy Stardust And Tommy. Although 2112 and Quadrophenia are just as close!

I think I will speak for all of us when I say: Where the H is ANATO?

:p

YES!!!I WAS WONDERING!!!! THANK YOU!

The Rock Opera of Franz Kafka from Home Movies.

Sorry loves, A Night At The Opera, isnt really...a Rock Opera(Bohemian Rhapsody is though!) A Rock Opera is usually a whole album that works together as a story(The Who's Tommy, the story of a deaf,dumb and blind boy who attempts to overcome the murder he witness and the molestation from his youth by winning the respect of his peers) A Night At The Opera simply doesnt have these qualities, but I suppose if one looks at any album for long enough, they can link the songs together!

The Wall. Hooooo-boy did that movie scare the shit out of me as a child.

1. The Wall.
2. Jesuschrist Superstar (Ian Gillan as Jesus).
3. Tommy.

In that order...

Cheers.

Tommy, Quadrophenia and The Wall.

Does Flash Gordon count as a rock opera too?

Awesome choices, I always found it funny how a lot of Bowie fans dislike Diamond Dogs!(I think its glamtastically good!). Haha, yes prehaps the Flashgordan soundtrack could count as a rock opera. Hmm...Wouldnt it be interesting, if someone attempted to make a story up from Queen Albums! Haha, I wonder what the hell the story would be in the Works.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" is neither rock nor opera, nor rock-opera.

well those Bowie fans don't know what they're talking about, cause Diamond Dogs is one of Bowie's best albums, IMO. my favourite! :D
