The Who’s Tommy (1969) redefined what an album could be — a full-blown rock opera blending raw emotion, spiritual inquiry, and theatrical ambition. With tracks like “Pinball Wizard” and “I’m Free,” it told the story of a deaf, dumb, and blind boy who becomes a messiah figure. From its chart-topping success to Broadway and beyond, Tommy remains one of the most influential concept albums in rock history.
