The Forgotten Gems Of Rock Opera

  Beyond Tommy and Queen: The Forgotten Gems of Rock Opera When we hear the term rock opera, the mind rushes to The Who’s Tommy or Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. These iconic works set the bar for theatrical storytelling in rock, blending narrative arcs with sonic drama. But the history of rock opera is far more sprawling — and littered with hidden gems, misunderstood masterpieces, and B-side anthems that echo with raw storytelling power.

The B-Side of the Prince Here at HiddenGems, we shine a light on the often-forgotten corners of rock ‘n’ roll. And few artists left behind such a treasure chest of underrated power as Ozzy. Let’s crack it open and remember him through five of his lesser-known, but no less migh...
