Spock's Beard - Snow

or The Deer Hunter's work.

Arguing anything else except maybe Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and maybe The Who - Tommy as a suggestion is laughable, imoimoimo

I second this. If you're gonna cite a concept album, go all the way-- its a really bizarre album but it works in its own weird way. Its also got a great variety of mood, textures, many memorable moments and quirky as hell!

I would also add Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here (their best album IMO).

Dark Side of the Moon has some great moments, but overall I feel the album is a bit weak-- I really think its overrated (I say this as a Pink Floyd fan BTW). I would even prefer Animals to DSotM.

I see no mention of The Wall which is fine by me-- probably the poorest Pink Floyd album (there are some individual songs that are GREAT, but the album overall is bloated, confused, and way to self-important). There was a time where that was considered by many to be THE concept album. Ugh.

Sgt. Pepper's is good and Radiohead's OK Computer comes to mind, but I never *listen* to them as concept albums-- its just a good collection of songs.

Musically it sounds great.
Story wise, as a concept, as the Mericans say...it sucks balls.
