The five shows were decided by the staff. After each of these five shows came along, all that came after was either subtly or dramatically different. By "top" we mean important, historically significant, influential-or, in the corporate-speak, sport-oriented parlance of the day: game-changers. That's an entirely subjective matter and up to personal taste and one's own critical standards. Now, let's be clear what we mean by "top." This is not a list of the best rock musicals. Ditto, Rent, which revived the category a quarter century later. If you're going to talk top rock musicals of all time, you pretty much have to include Hair, which started everything. What's more, some of the choices are so obvious, you can't err too much in compiling the list. So the standouts are easier to pluck out. Certainly there have been rock musicals since the show that is arguably the first rock musical, Hair, debuted more than 40 years ago, but far fewer than musical musicals.
