Hard coice because a good concept album always comes on top for my favourite album, but a good epic always comes out on top for my favourite song. But Theres absolutely nothing like a good epic

yeah I know the two sort of blend at times... but i'm thinking of a more specific case, as in one 20-min piece versus an album of related 5 or 6 min pieces.

I think I'd like an epic. I'm kinda with Eddy here; the meanings of songs has never really been that important to me most of the time. I think I'd like one uber-ginormous track that I can get into - and stay into - for a good 30 minutes or so. if I'm listening to a really, really good song, I don't like interruptions.

Concept album.

Only 1 good track with the rest being crappy songs (ELP-esque, whoops! ) is not cool.

More music!

Conceptual, hands down. I have nothing against epics - in fact, it was a hard choice between the two - but in the end, conceptual releases are just too magnificently put together to turn my head away.

I love both Epics and Concept albums...  it's a very hard decision.   Almost all of my favorite songs are epics, I prefer Animals, SOYCD, and Echoes over all the songs on The Wall, for example, but I also love concept albums., and I 'd prefer to have an entire album of exceptional songs than just one amazing epic with a bunch of mediocre songs. 

The album would have to be pushing 80 minutes, though.

I like Epic Concept Albums

Darkside of the Moon is a concept album, all the songs are differnt parts of life. Animals is another, each animal represents a differnt kind of person.

2 from Pink Floyd. I sure there are more.

Man thats not fair, full lenght album against 20 min song   

60 > 20

Athough its hard to recall fantastic concept album without couple of over 10min songs.
