Don't take Wikipedia's word for it... 
Buy yourself an Oxford Dictionary of Music.
It'll be your bible - unless you're a Christian, in which case, it'll be the next best thing

We should be clear about which version we are talking about though. The original with Ian Gillan as Jesus was not a soundtrack, it was released some years before the stage show or the film. As Cert says, it was a rock opera.
I'd agree it should be added to the Various artists section.

I agree exactly, the original Opera was excellent, the movie soundtrack was good but the song added is really out of place, they needed one more ballad (Could we Start Again Please) to sell the movie better.
I agree with adding it in various but no way to add Lloyd Webber or any other of his works.

I would add Lloyd Webber's "Variations" - it's far more compelling as a Prog Rock album than "JCS" - it's a masterpiece - and I think it could go under Various Artists too, as I do not believe for a moment that Lloyd Webber wrote every note - how could anyone score Gary Moore's amazing solos, for example?
But I wouldn't add anything else by ALW.

Hmmm - only just seen this thread.
The original album (Gillan, Head, Elliman et al); one of my favorite albums around the mid 1980's - Gillan giving it all he had on "Gethsamane"... the interplay between Ciaphas & Annas (without the dsitractions of the comedy Sanhedrin you had in the film); I guess in a (rather odd) way, this album could be described as 'progressive rock' (whatever that may mean here nowadays...  ), certainly a very early rock concept album.
Inclusion to PA, though???
Maybe under 'various artists' - hey, here's an idea! Let's have a vote & a heated debate .

First we'd need to have a vote about having a vote and a heated debate though Jim.

I'm shocked quite how bad the last five(?) puns were, even on this forum!
