I dislike Pinball Wizard, but like Pete Townshend and to be honest, e.g.
The War of the Worlds has some nice songs, but IMO it isn't good as a
complete classical opus. Rock musicians shouldn't try to make "concept
album" or "operas". The oldish, classical operas tend to be crap and and
all "modern rock" operas usually are crap². Musicians (especially Rock
and Jazz folks) usually don's stick on banal things long enough to make
an opus out of it, this is a task for the people how are boring and
stiff as a poker.
