It was fifty years ago today- the most famous rock opera/ concept album [not necessary the best I think it’s a tad overrated} Tommy by The Who was released. Tommy was the fourth album released by The Who- a double album written by The Who’s guitarist Pete Townshend, about a deaf, dumb and blind boy named Tommy Walker. and his life experiences and relationship with his family.
below is an article from the New York Post on the big 50th of Tommy.

50 years…crazy. This album was a big one for me.
My older stepbrothers loved it, but I never got it.
The opera may be overrated but some individual songs on the album are definitely not to me.
One of my least favorite Who albums although I understand why some do like it.
