Best concept albums?

Name your favorite concept albums.

Here are some of mine.

Days of Future Passed and On the Threashold of a Dreamby the Moody Blues
In The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Sgt. Pepper's
Dark Side Of The Moon even though it's cliche now...

Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" is a great concept album, imo.


Genesis - Fly on a Windshield (1974)

I never got into Genesis. NOt that I thought they were bad, but I never came to like them.

Peaceful World by the Rascals was good. In Search of the Lost Chord by the Moody Blues. Any of the Inside albums by Paul Horn.

For me, it's Alice Cooper's "The Last Temptation"...
It can be viewed on so many levels.

And it's just so dark

For me it is 2112 by Rush... The talent of all the members mixed with the story has inspired me since my youth. It's so epic, and moving.

Rush - 2112

Ayreon Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer blew my mind as well...

My House on Mars

"Mind Crime" by Queen's Reich

I like the Queensryche Concept Album: Operation Mindcrime.

KISS -Elder is freaking awesome too.


My 2

Cuhail

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free.

The Streets - Dry Your Eyes

Pink Floyd - The Wall


Brilliant....one of the greatest works of art ever produced, IMO.

How could anyone not mention this:

The Who - Quadrophenia

en.wikipedia.org...


The Who - 5:15

Damn Rock and Roll used to be fun!!!

I also like The Universal Migrator, being a fan of Tiamat myself, track #2 My house on mars is my fav from that album.

The Wall Pink Floyd, for all the obvious reasons

Dies IRae from Devil Doll, its really something...

King Crimson is also cool, but the latter 3 are my favorites...

sadly, given time everything turns into a cliche
