Explanation

The Who's 1969 album 'Tommy' was the first work explicitly billed as a 'rock opera'. It tells a cohesive story through songs and pioneered the rock opera format. Melody Maker is a music magazine, not a musical work. Going Mobile and Bargain are individual songs, not complete rock operas.
