Coincidentally, she also died in 1959. Maybe that's how the confusion arose!Buddy Holly! Billy Holiday died from intravenous drug use. He (Buddy Holly) was a rocker, she (Billy Holiday) was a jazz singer.Are you thinking of Billy Holliday (?) and his buddies
killed in 1959?

I had the word stuck in my head all day yesterday.Gee. I didn't know a rupicoline thread could be so nebulous.
Incidentally, I like the word rupicoline. Even with the fancy Latin suffix, it still sounds rockish (in a formal sort of way).
Should have had you put it to music.

I understood what you meant.
I have a warped sense of humor...I know I know you weren't a Who fan! The band The Who did "a rock opera" called "Tommy".
But, a band called The Electric Light Orchestra did some rock versions of (or at least pieces of) some of the classics that the composers you mentioned penned.
I'm sure Sluggo can give many more examples of such rock operas as he's the resident music expert.

Gotcha!
I've Heard of all of the above. "Tommy" was a
local college performance which received a
huge amount of applause, some time back.
Listen mostly to classical and "oldies".
"ELO" is in crosswords periodically.
I'm sort of slow when it comes to humor: being
the resident Polish Joke.

cryptozoic
"Cryptozoic" is a good word for the under-rocks organisms.And critters that live "under" rocks, the many-legged kind
and others, or would one have to put the prefix "sub-"
on the word?
