Tommy

The Who

The band blended power chords with acoustic textures and experimental studio methods. This ambitious project proved that long-form stories could work through connected songs.

Released when the group was at their peak, it tracks the shift from psychedelic pop to theatrical arena rock. It stands as a major example of how rock music could push boundaries.
