The first rock opera album in history was the SF Sorrow (1968), the English group Pretty Things. This was one of the most ambitious of his time, and their songs are chronicles the descent into hell of Sebastian F. Sorrow, a character created by the band's vocalist Phil May.However, poor distribution, lack of quality and criticisms made soon fell into oblivion.
Tommy (1969), the British group The Who, because of its extreme popularity, good production and originality, is considered the first rock opera album, whose songs follow a narrative line progressively completed. The whole album tells a story. The subjects were most successful 'See Me, Feel Me' and 'Pinball Wizard'.
Years before there were conceptual albums whose songs revolve around a specific topic, the former were conducted by the U.S. group The Beach Boys Little Deuce Coupe and went (1963) and Pet Sounds (1969). Source: 101 Albums That Changed Popular Music Chris Smith / The New York Times

Well... this would have been nice, if it weren't taken literally from a published article. If you're going to copy-paste, you can do it but adding your own opinion at the end, of at least the same length as the original article. Otherwise, it won't be accepted.
it is well to consider
