I sort of feel like it has nothing to do with the rest, but it's also such a good album.

Red Headed Stranger, as in Willie Nelson? I like Willie, but a rock opera is pretty much a term for a rock concept album that tells a whole story. One could debate Bat Out of Hell doesn't tell a story, but the songs are taken directly from a play called Neverland written by Steinman. Bat Out of Hell revolves around Ball (Peter Pan in the play) and his feelings for Wendy. All Revved Up is an introduction to Ball and the Lost Boys. Willie Nelson's album tells a story, it's not a rock album. It could definitely fit a top ten of outlaw country if we had a country series, which I'm up for too.
