When you open the liner notes to the CD Reissue, it says in very large font "S.F. Sorrow is the first rock opera," which kind of ends the Tommy vs Sorrow debate for me. Regardless who coined the term or conceived it first, Sorrow is a spectacular blast of garage psych, yet beautiful and melancholy. A psychedelic touchstone, SF Sorrow is widely recognized as the first rock opera. -Brendan
There is no debate which is the masterpiece....SF SORROW is far and above TOMMY.
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music".
