Your favorite 'concept' album

I'm not a concept album fan, however there are a few I've gone down the rabbit hole with. My personal fave, is '10,000 Years' by The Honeydogs. The backstory & lyrics are so vivid, and futuristic, it never fails to reveal something new to me. Even the bandleader said at times he's not sure what it's about.

Fascinating info & interview in the url. Check it out! 

Any others?

Soap Opera good
I like Arthur (a TV special opera) better
Face To Face predates SF SorrowMy first concept was West Side Story OST 1961

Not a lotta love here for American Idiot
(We suspect who he is.)
One of the few besides Tommy to make it to the stage.
Speaking of, the IoW recording was an amazing journey.

The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society.

The young Ray was already deeply nostalgic, as were many of his mid/late 60s contemporaries. Blame the drugs.


I should also mention Windy by Astrud Gilberto. It's more of a (summery) mood album that also feels like a concept one.

Mannheim Steamroller Fresh Aire 7. Chip Davis does an excellent job of putting together pieces that all relate to or are based upon the number VII. Excellent demo disc as well for testing a system.
