Neil Strauss of The New York Times wrote that S.F. Ĭolin Fleming of The Atlantic described The Story of Simon Simopath (1967) by British psychedelic band Nirvana as an "early foray into the rock opera sub-genre". However, the album for the rock opera was not released until 1996, and it was only fully realised and staged in 2017. In an early use of the term, the July 4, 1966, edition of RPM Magazine (published in Toronto) reported that " Bruce Cockburn and Mr Hawkins are working on a Rock Opera, operating on the premise that to write you need only 'something to say'." Mark Wirtz explored the idea in a project A Teenage Opera, from which an early song " Excerpt from A Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)" recorded by Keith West was released and became a hit song in 1967. A number of rock artists became interested in the idea of creating a rock opera in the 1960s.
