I'll put in an advance entry of that thread for:
YES - "Close To The Edge"
Top Concept albums
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Rush - 2112 + Farewell to Kings>Hemispheres
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood + Clutching at Straws
Pink Floyd - The Wall + DSOTM + Animals + WYWH
Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime 1&2 + American Soldier
The Who - Tommy
The KinKs - most any of their 70s catalog
Fates Warning - Pleasant Shade of Gray
Frank Zappa - Joes Garage trilogy
Roger Waters - all Solo albums
Starz - Violation
How about a thread be started for best “epic” songs such as Side 1 of 2112 as opposed to the whole album.
For that I will offer “Grendel” by Marillion
Maybe another thread for “loosely constructed concept albums” which I would include Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road by the Beatles, “Shades of a Blue Orphanage” by Thin Lizzy
