| Re: Tommy,Pink,Crimson Idol and Psychoderelict:Whats Common in them? Hmm, I don't know anything about Crimson Idol, and I've never really payed much attention to Baba O'reilly. I guess the similarities between Tommy and Pink is that things eventually turn out for the best (destroying of the wall, miracle cure). Both of them go through hell...however Pink's is self-induced while Tommy is a victim. |

| Re: Tommy,Pink,Crimson Idol and Psychoderelict:Whats Common in them? It's of note that the protagonist in "Psychoderelict" is Ray High (not Baba O'Reily...that's a whole different thing all together). Other rock opera protagonists worth mentioning: -Nicky (Queensryche, "Operation Mindcrime") -Jimmy the Mod (The Who, "Quadrophenia") -Rael (Genesis, "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway") -Nicolas (Dream Theater, "Scenes From A Memory") -Ziggy (David Bowie, "Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars") -Ovo (Peter Gabriel, "OVO") |

| Re: Tommy,Pink,Crimson Idol and Psychoderelict:Whats Common in them? For me it's a tie between Jimmy and Ziggy, though Ziggy doesn't really do much in his story except prance around and freak out, so I'll nod to Jimmy. |

| Re: Tommy,Pink,Crimson Idol and Psychoderelict:Whats Common in them? How about him? Oh, and I guess we can include David from Porcupine Tree's "Deadwing". Last edited by one_of_my_turns; 05-01-2005 at 12:19 AM. |

| Re: Tommy,Pink,Crimson Idol and Psychoderelict:Whats Common in them? Let's not forget Cerpin Taxt of the Mars Volta's "De-Loused in the Comatorium". Or perhaps Frances the Mute? |
