Rock opera - a niche genre with a few forerunners in the late 60s, but surely defined by this monumental project by The Who. As the band were hitting their stride and still relatively early on in their career, it was a bold move for Pete Townshend to compose this magnum opus, which came out in 1969 and sparked a run of theatre and cinema adaptations. Telling the story of deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard Tommy Walker was a gamble that paid off, as critics hailed the album as their critical breakthrough and the accompanying stage show dazzled fans the world over. Now the album has been given the half speed remastering treatment at Abbey Road, meaning it sounds better than ever.
