The line between rock operas and musicals written by pop bands seems a bit dimmed in this category list. I would never call "Chess" or "Une Nuit A Paris" rock operas, though Chess is (classical) opera in a sense - it's through-composed, there is really no dialogue that's not set to music, unlike most musicals which have a good deal of spoken dialogue. And neither Chess nor UNAP are rock by any stretch of the term, they are firmly pop (Une Nuit A Paris is a sort of pop collage). Is Jon Anderson's "Olias of Sunhillow" a rock opera too? No, although Yes are a rock band: most of Olias isn't rock music at all and there has never been any attempt to stage it. /Strausszek (talk) 20:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetizing

In the subcategory section, I notice that "The Wall" is correctly under "W" while "The Black Parade" is under "T." I tried to fix this myself, but I don't know how. 71.83.176.227 (talk) 16:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
