Battle of the rock operas!

I just love those albums that tell stories! And there's at least 7 that I know of. Which one do you think is the best?

I'm voting for "The Wall" of course!

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.

I'll go with The Wall, but keep in mind that's also the only one I've heard or seen. So my opinion is a little slim there.

I vote other. Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater...their last great album, unfortunately.
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield

Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

I voted "Tommy" by The Who.
One listed by tilinelson2 would be my second choice...Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice.
