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?

Sgt. Pepper - can you imagine if Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane had been included as originally intended? 

2112 - Works even better than Sgt. Pepper as a concept album. 

I can't possibly include The Wall when it comes in 4th behind Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and Animals as my favorite Pink Floyd album.

Pretty Things
S.F. Sorrows (1968)
Still sounds great today!
