 Topic: Concept Albums
Posted: August 10 2005 at 19:35 |
Hello people!!
Well...I recently discovered The Who - Tommy (a little late I guess) which is a very nice album. I was wondering if you can recommend me other concept albums or rock operas (except Pink Floyd which I already know by heart  ).
Thanks!!

Not really that fabulous BTW, I like segments, but most of it bores me. I prefer Who's next which was intended to be another rock-opera, but they never got that project off the ground, but the music resulted in what i consider to be the Who's best album.

My current top 5 Concept albums
José Cid's "10000 anos depois entre Vénus e Marte"
(10000 years after between Venus and Mars)
Not your everyday prog album, but marvellous (Space ProgRock).
Genesis - Lamb lies down on Broadway
Yes - Tales From topographic oceans
Alice Cooper - Welcome to my nightmare
(not prog but a concept that only Mr Vincent Fournier would think of)
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (this one I consider a concept
because all the songs have a similar vibe and feel, its a very dark album
probably the closest to prog that Sabbath ever had, and Mr Wakeman was
in da house

Marillion-Brave
Dream Theater-Scenes from a Memory
Jethro Tull-Thick as a Brick / Aqualung (even though it was just a bunch of songs )

As it had already been recommended, I'd like to second The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis. It probably has everything you're looking for.

the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium is also a concept album. it revolves around a guy in a coma and his decision to live or die. good imagery and amazing music, but not run of the mill prog like genesis.

Sgt. Pepper is not a concept album as such.

Dream Theater - "Scenes form a Memory" 1999
Ayreon - "The Human Equation" 2004
Ayreon - "Into The Electric Castle - A Space Opera" 1998 (not sure though)
Shadow Gallery - "Tyranny" 1998 + "Room V" 2005 ( a 2 part concept - I only know the 1st part but it brought me to my knees - ordered Room V some time ago...)
These are my fav...
