Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Your favourite "concept" album

Most were a load of Barry White , but there were some good ones too

I'm split between
JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH RICK WAKEMAN


YES ivory tinkler beats both JARRE and FOXX in bringing the synth to the masses Over the top orchestra and narration makes for a great album inspired by one of the greatest writers ever .

THE SNOW GOOSE CAMEL


brilliant guitar , synth and flute combination make for beautiful whimsical music as another literary work is brought to life musically

Jeff Wayne's The War ot the Worlds for me

The Beatles Sgt Pepper and more recently, NIN Year Zero

ELO : Out of the Blue springs to mind but I think only part of it is a 'concept' ie. the Concerto for a Rainy Day.

I think Kate Bush's recent "Aerial" has also been defined as such so I'll go for that one too.

Small Faces Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Laaaayzeee Sundee Afternooon-nah!

Probably Mike Oldfield's The Songs of Distant Earth

almost forgot...
Pink Floyd : The Wall
:rolleyes:

Yep.
Yep.

I would also include Bowie's - 'Ziggy Stardust' and even Numan's - 'Telekon'.

Hilarious: big fun, good music and themes that are stil relevant:
Frank Zappa: We're Only In It For The Money

What's a 'concept" album?
