I thought Tommy was a great idea, but not sure that The Who was really up to the challenge, though it was still an excellent album. I think “Whos Next” was really their masterpiece.

I can’t think of many albums that tried to tell a single story that were very good. One notable exception that comes to mind is “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,’ by Genesis. Back in the good ol’ days when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer.
I like “Bat Out of Hell,” by Meat Loaf. After that...hmmm
