I know many more rock operas and I say the best in my opinion one which is largely ignored: White Faced Lady - Kaleidoscope (1971)
For those interested on the genre, I'd point out some great rock operas: S. F. Sorrow - The Pretty Things (1968) Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) - The Kinks (1969) Jesus Christ Superstar - Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice (1970) Preservation: Act 1 - The Kinks (1973) Preservation: Act 2 - The Kinks (1974) Soap Opera - The Kinks (1975) Schoolboys in Disgrace - The Kinks (1976) Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll To Young To Die - Jethro Tull (1976) Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf (1977) War Of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne (1977) Joe's Garage: Acts I, II, III Frank Zappa (1979)
Of course I forgot some more, but that is a good list for people interested in Rock Operas.
