  • Summary

  • On this day, 55 years ago, The Who released an album that opened whole new vistas for rock music and the record album. Tommy was one of the first 'rock operas', and it turned The Who into one of the world's most important rock bands. It has since been adapted as a movie, an opera, a dance production, and more. Randy Renaud has the story behind Tommy for its 55th anniversary on this week's edition of The Chronicles of Rock.
