Recommend... some great CONCEPT Albums. (AKAYZ (C) 2010) - General

what's going on in here [editline]8th December 2010[/editline] oh joy an album named after me how thoughtful

[B]The Who - Tommy[/B] [img]http://www.thewho.com/images/media/albums_large/06_69_tommy.jpg[/img] This shouldn't even need introduction. The definitive "rock opera".

Pink Floyd Pink Floyd everywhere

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;26573948]I agree that side 1 of Tarkus (the song Tarkus) is like a concept album, but I'm not sure about side 2[/QUOTE] side 2 is better it has atheist themes

Already implied by previous mention of Porcupine Tree, but: [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l6t4EJpXIww/TH-dZpNaLsI/AAAAAAAABds/UeCQpYYzBls/s1600/075678360428.jpg[/img] [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515ATK66Z4L.jpg[/img] I know it seems every PT album is a concept album. And they're all great ones! :v: [img]http://www.mp3boo.com/cover-album/21j6lft12121.jpg[/img] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/POS-PerfectElement.jpg[/img] For the extreme metal fans: [img]http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/m/meshuggah/album-catch-thirty-three.jpg[/img]

Judas Priest - [b]Nostradamus[/b] [img]http://judaspriest.com/photo/Nostradamus/AlbumCover/NostradamusAlbumCover400.jpg[/img] Some people may disagree, but I personally think it was great that they tried something different such as making a concept album. I enjoyed it.

[img]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5751/keziamh0.jpg[/img] The album's songs are from three different viewpoints to describe the situations surrounding a young woman, Kezia, who is to be executed. It's definitely worth a listen

How could I forget Diamond Dogs: [img]http://perso.wanadoo.es/rspolo/bowie7.JPG[/img] It's basically Bowie's interpretation of the book "1984".
