And what did you vote for?

Tough list, but I went with Lambs. It has so many different pieces and
a great story line. It did have a lot of influence on my early years.
Other opions, Dead Winter Dead should have been on the over Streets for
a Savatage choice. I thinks it a much more powerfull story and better
music. I also would choose A Passion Play over Brick. I like the melody
and the imagery(?) better. This whole list is great though. You can't
lose with any of them.

I'd like to see a "none" option.
I know it sounds weird, but I dislike concept albums. I love epics, but I think all concept albums are contrived.

Of all forms and genres of music I've come across since first
buying an album at age 5, "Be" by PAIN OF SALVATION is the great one.
Peace & take care

Seems I am the first one to vote for 666...
I think Tommy or Quadrophenia should have been here, too (like Jesus Christ Superstar, not that I would vote for them!!)
and War of the Worlds is forgotten!!! Considering the storm around the new movie, it's great negligence!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Thick As A Brick!!!!
Claimed by the Tramp himself as the Mother of All Concept albums.
Funny (even hilarious at times) , thought-provoking , awesome, faultlessly executed, severely attacking the establishment ...... it's got everything, a man can wish for . The superb St Cleves chronicle is also a gas , all the way down to the wanted adds! But you might need the vinyl for that!
Too bad he did not see the light of it as he did A Passion Play!
As for rock operas, I love the broaway musical Haïr. Which came out as a superb film adaptation and the music transformed with a funky bass.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Hmm, just goes to show ... here I am a prog fan ... and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar takes it for me ... it really is an awesome album (I'm talking about the original soundtrack with Ian Gillan as Jesus) with a lot of creative musicians participating ... one of my favourites ever ... even beating out 5 star classics like Thick As A Brick and Six Wives ...

I chose "Pictures at an Exhibiotion", as it did great impression on me at my teens, and I still like to listen through it from time to time. "666" and "Lamb lies down..." are also good, but I find more boring parts from them, than I do from the ELP album.
There's many albums included in this poll, thath I haven't heard though.
