Sorry loves, A Night At The Opera, isnt really...a Rock Opera(Bohemian Rhapsody is though!) A Rock Opera is usually a whole album that works together as a story(The Who's Tommy, the story of a deaf,dumb and blind boy who attempts to overcome the murder he witness and the molestation from his youth by winning the respect of his peers) A Night At The Opera simply doesnt have these qualities, but I suppose if one looks at any album for long enough, they can link the songs together! |

Tommy, Quadrophenia and The Wall. Does Flash Gordon count as a rock opera too? |

Haha, yes prehaps the Flashgordan soundtrack could count as a rock opera. Hmm...Wouldnt it be interesting, if someone attempted to make a story up from Queen Albums! Haha, I wonder what the hell the story would be in the Works.<b><font color="blue">Mr. Farenheit wrote: 1. The Wall. 2. Jesuschrist Superstar (Ian Gillan as Jesus). 3. Tommy. In that order...

Think of "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" from 'Blonde On Blonde' or "Desolation Row" from its predecessor 'Highway 61 Revisited'. |

Although I enjoyed Heathen a little more then Earthling. I also think Lodger is cool...When you are in the right mood of course! And how could I have forgotten about Alladin Sane?(Despite the poor mixing on "Watch That Man" ugh!) |
