“American Idiot,” the seventh studio album from the pop-punk band Green Day, reached mainstream acclaim despite, or perhaps because of, its hugely political message and protest-worthy lyrics. The list of modern rock opera albums is vast, but here are six that should not be ignored. Concept albums and rock operas are still very much a part of modern music. Much like a more common concept album, the themes and concepts are connected but also often employ narrative and characters throughout.Ī classic list of rock operas includes albums like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” Queen’s “A Night at the Opera” and The Who’s “Tommy,” but that’s not to say that rock operas are a thing of the past. While not actually an opera to be sung and acted, a rock opera is a collection of songs and lyrics that relate to a central story.
In modern music and all of its genres and subgenres, there are few things as ambitious and challenging as writing and producing a rock opera.
