Actually, if you're not a fan of prog, you might be surprised how few concept albums there are in the genre. I mean, more than any other, certainly, but of the big names, maybe one or two out of their discography. Genesis have one (The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) maybe two (Duke?) while Marillion have two (Misplaced Childhood and Brave) and other bands have few or even none. It's definitely not a requirement, and in fact these days prog bands tend to shy away from it, as it's seen as typecasting them as such and unoriginal in many ways.
