Classic Rock "concept" albums

Maybe I'm using the term concept loosely. If it's got an overall theme or the songs flow together, I'm calling it a concept album.
Got a road trip coming up. Need suggestions. Here's what I already have and love
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road
The Who - Tommy
Pink Floyd - The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman

Maybe not classic rock, but Queensryche Operation Mindcrime is a great concept album

This is regarded as the first "rock opera" (it was released the year before Tommy)

The Kinks were awesome at concept albums as were the Who. Arthur and Quadrophenia are two of my favorite albums.

The Who is performing Quadrophenia this fall. Unfortunately the closest show to LA is Atlanta

Neil Young did some of these in the early 80s.
And the coup de grace:
I love me some Uncle Neil, but the coke he must have been doing to greenlight these abortions must have been unbelievable.
Either that, or he was trying to hasten his exit from Geffen.

Even after. A Trick of the Tail is a concept album, and probably my favorite Genesis album.

Not Classic Rock but the best concept album since Operation Mindcrime

Back in my younger days (11 or 12) I was learning guitar. My friends dad was teaching me and had all sorts of amazing music. He decided to pop the DVD in of mindcrime. We didn't budge for the entirety
