For those that like super cryptic stuff, theres Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute

There's always Pink Floyd.

What exactly is a concept album?

I'm not going to say try to say anything about best ever.

Joe's Garage. It's a rock opera in three acts that is a satire on the rock music industry. That's a concept album, right?

How about Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. This is probably in large part what Joe's garage is satiring.

I would definitely call it a concept album.

Life and death
Day and night
Light and dark
Youthful angst and existence

Billy (knowing Billy), has probably said it is and is not a concept album at different points in time.

I thought Village Green Preservation Society was a lot better than Arthur.

Also, maybe Give the Peopl What they want might be able to be considered a "concept album." It had a series of social problem songs from a number of different subjects then capped off the album with Better Things as if to say that it's all going to be better despite the subject matter of most of the album.

Is Sgt Pepper considered a concept album? If so, then that. I also love The Wall and Animals by Pink Floyd.
