Not sure what the qualifications are for "concept album", but most of that listed I could do without ever hearing again.
In the meantime, I'll toss in my top 5:

Pink Floyd easily could have contributed a few selections for top-shelf concept albums.

"Thick as a Brick" just has to be there. When you hear the phrase "concept album", Jethro Tull is the first thing to come to mind! As for the "Small Faces", in my humble opinion, their 1967 album "There are But Four Small Faces" is the best. After all, it's got "Itchykoo Park" on it, and we all know what a constructive message that song had!

Gotta agree with you on Blood on the Tracks, Astral Weeks and Animals. Sgt. Pepper is so far over-rated it isn’t even funny. It wasn’t even the Beatles’ best.

There are two 'concept' albums missing from this list that can only be described as pure musical genius;
1. "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes
and...
2. "Songs From The Wood" by Jethro Tull
Any such list that does not list them is deficient in my opinion.
And why the hell isn't "The Wall" on this list?

I consider side two of “Abbey Road” far superior to “Sgt. Pepper’s”.

IMHO, Thick as a Brick is the #1 concept LP.
The youngest of the family is moving with authority.......
Ya had to be there, and [snigger] in the correct “frame of mind”.
As long as we are on the subject of the correct frame of mind, why is
“How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All”
not in the top ten?
Is that a concept or what?
