    Concept Albums.

    Plenty out there over the years.
    Some good, some crap.

    Really its just an excuse to put 'That's Life' up by Sham.
    Just been listening to it watching crap MNF.

    I saw The Sham on two occasions and never got my head kicked in even once, which seems something of a miracle.

    Don't own many concept albums. Diamond Dogs by Bowie. That's about it I think.

    Likewise I am unaware of any concept albums that I may own, though a friend considers Midlakes very fine album " the trials of van occupanther " to be a concept album, and not only do own that, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who doesnt <ok>

    I suppose it all depends on your definition of a concept album. personally I discount anything which doesn`t have some Lord of the Rings style artwork and a four minute gong solo.

    This one didn't, but it's still probably my favourite concept album.

    I was listening to this today. Surely one of the first concept albums. It was full of all these little fake ads. The most underated Who album in my opinion.

    There is also a number of fairly obscure excellent songs that no one has really heard on it too. Like the next one which is an absolutely beautiful song.

    Gaye himself thought of this as a concept album.
