The rock opera Tommy was groundbreaking in it's scope and focus for it's day. It paved the way for the idea that an album wouldn't just be a bunch of songs thrown together to fill up both sides of the 12" vinyl, but they would all tie into a central theme. Tommy took that much further by telling a story. The story is about a small boy who see's his father kill his mother's lover and this causes the boy to recede inside himself and stop talking or in fact seeing. It takes may different paths by his mother to final break Tommy free of his self imposed prison.
