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. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
