yeah! Pretty Things with that album ( basic on the story of Phil May) went to insipire Pete Townshend to made TOMMY - one of the greatest stuff in 20th century ART. as Pete Townshend said open-hearted, he went to listening S.F. Sorow a few days without stopping, and than he started to working on his own rock opera - Tommy. Although Townshend was talking abouth that to the press in the interviews istantly given after Tommy went in the shops, many of reviewers went to proclame that Tommy is - plagiarism!
 sadly, rock critics / reviewers made too many shamefull mistakes in the history of ROCK. for example, great JT's "Thick As A Brick" they were to name expressionless stuff, "A Passion Play" album went to name as totaly bad album...The Who's albums "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia" were get same "honour" as exaggerative, prepotency albums...Genesis "The Lamb...." was "Gabriel's solo album"....Uriah Heep were never acceptable for "serious rock critics", etc, etc. but, people who like ROCK, said the last word anyway!

List of my favorite concept albums:
Axis: Bold as Love - The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967) - The tale of one man's journey back to earth and what he encounters on another turn of the earth's axis; primarily love We're Only in It For the Money - Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention (1968) - razor sharp satire with both hippy culture and the establishment in its sights. Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull (1972) - One long musical track written around a poem by a fictitious child prodigy. A parody of concept albums, but with serious questioning of society and conformity Three Friends - Gentle Giant (1972) - Three old friends reminisce about their days as schoolchildren Pictures at an Exhibition - Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1972) - Each song describes a picture; adapted from original composition by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky A Passion Play - Jethro Tull (1973) - A man's journey through afterlife: he discovers that the other world is nothing but a big bureaucratic office. Selling England by the Pound - Genesis (1973) - The songs deal with the decay of values in English culture during the XXth century Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (1973) - The various influences that can drive one mad Hymn of the 7th Galaxy - Return to Forever (1973) - Spaced themed fusion compositions. The Six Wives of King Henry VIII - Rick Wakeman (1973) - One instrumental piece about each wife Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes (1973) - This concept album is based on the four-part Hindu Shastric scriptures The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis (1974) - A New-York punk finds himself in a confusing dream-world The Power and the Glory - Gentle Giant (1974) Journey to the Center of the Earth - Rick Wakeman (1974) - Adapted from Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (1975) - Former band member Syd Barrett's decline into insanity, and the trials of stardom Minstrel in the Gallery - Jethro Tull (1975) - the rock singer as the modern equivalent of the medieval minstrel (although the concept grew from the presence of a "gallery" in the rehearsal studio. Animals - Pink Floyd (1977) - The common people are represented by sheep, the government by dogs, the rich by pigs. Influenced by Animal Farm, by George Orwell Talking Heads - Fear of Music (1979) - The basic fear of elements in the world. Remove the "Music" from the title and insert the other track names. Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa (1979) (Originally released as two separate albums; Act I and Acts II/III) - follows "Joe," the prototypical rock-star wannabee, as he wastes his life pursuing a false dream, sinking to degrading new lows in self-esteem... Tubular bells - Mike Oldfield (1973) Enjoy! Maybe you'll find some interesting stuff here Edited by pero - September 13 2006 at 06:38 |
