Tommy

来自于The Who乐队的一张华丽无比的概念专辑。The Who在这张专辑中率先制造出了“摇滚歌剧”的概念，这种风格被许多后人效仿，例如Queen的A Night At The Opera（歌剧院之夜）就是这种风格的另一巅峰巨作。

Pete Townshend以摇滚歌剧的概念表现出了锐意进取的雄心，专辑中的歌曲则是他由童年到成年所遭受一系列创伤的一次情绪大爆发，非常震撼。

这张专辑推出之后，造成了相当强烈的反响，在1975年，这部摇滚歌剧还被改编成了同名的音乐电影搬上银幕。

本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第96位。

The full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy that launched the band to international superstardom, written almost entirely by Pete Townshend. Hailed as a breakthrough upon its release, its critical standing has diminished somewhat in the ensuing decades because of the occasional pretensions of the concept and because of the insubstantial nature of some of the songs that functioned as little more than devices to advance the rather sketchy plot. Nonetheless, the double album has many excellent songs, including "I'm Free," "Pinball Wizard," "Sensation," "Christmas," "We're Not Gonna Take It," and the dramatic ten-minute instrumental "Underture." Though the album was slightly flawed, Townshend's ability to construct a lengthy conceptual narrative brought new possibilities to rock music. Despite the complexity of the project, he and the Who never lost sight of solid pop melodies, harmonies, and forceful instrumentation, imbuing the material with a suitably powerful grace.
