Best rock concept album?

My favorite is Chemical Wedding by Bruce Dickinson.

The most underrated concept album of all time? Amused to Death by Roger Waters.



No album does a better job describing the world we live in. "The Bravery of Being Out of Range," starting at the 17:40 mark, perfectly describes Dick Cheney.

Hmmm...I was thinking I should get AC/DC to go give that poor womans titty a break.

But if Pink Floyd wants to volunteer, fine by me...let's you just keep thinking them happy thoughts.

Isa.60[16] Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Oh dude...how old are you? 12?

This album came out in 1988. A bit before your 10-20 year reference. They were cutting edge at the time.

Mastadon? Really? Good thrash, but the vocal style has no range.

I'm trying to think of something Roger Waters was involved in that wasn't a themed album of sorts. I haven't listened to this, but I'm going to here in a bit! After his Pink Floyd days, he seemed very melancholy and depressing so I haven't followed his work after that time. Certainly worth a listen, though!

Radiohead don't make 'concept' albums they make albums that they have haarp set up to beam to people and make them live it out.

Like it!

Poor womans ol tit deserves does deserve that good imported stuff from England, since you mention it.

Kinda like when you go to a real busy resturant and they bring out some snacks to hold them over.

Ha, ha. I was scrolling quickly on the topic page and my computer dyslexia saw this as "best cock roach recipe".

LOL! Awesome!

Can't wait to meet "Pink"

Hahahahha

Moody Blues - Days of future pass, to our childrens childrens children...

Animals!

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Or

Marillion - Brave

"Wanderer Awakening" by David Wilcock

Pink Floyd The Wall wins hands down.

Then Rush 2112
Then Kiss The Elder.
Then Queensryche Operation Mindcrime.

This! What is he 14 with poor fucking taste in music.

Nearly 25 years on and the original Mindcrime has held up pretty well. It was quite well received at the time.

To each his own

Chocolate covered by far...

Rush - 2112
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick

It's a toss-up between Operation:Mindcrime, which was so far ahead of it's time it's still considered by many to be one of the most influential albums ever recorded, or Ghost Reveries by Opeth.

Honorable mention goes to Spock's Beard : Snow, or Neal Morse : Testimony.

Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Floyd (hell my favorite album is UmmaGumma), but I never really saw the division bell as a concept album, per se.
