Your favorite 'concept' album

I'm not a concept album fan, however there are a few I've gone down the rabbit hole with. My personal fave, is '10,000 Years' by The Honeydogs. The backstory & lyrics are so vivid, and futuristic, it never fails to reveal something new to me. Even the bandleader said at times he's not sure what it's about.

Fascinating info & interview in the url. Check it out! 

Any others?

Ocean by Eloy.
The Alchemist by Home.
History of Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg.
Also Joe's garage and Babbacombe Lee listed above are pretty awesome audiophile quality recordings.

Amused to death is a recording technology marvel. Nobody makes sound come way outside of the speakers location better than Roger.
However overall Zappa has better sound imaging throughout the entire spectrum. Dire Straits and Supertramp are not bad either :)

Almost forgot the one regarded as the first concept album until I spinned it earlier.
Pretty Things
S.F. Sorrows (1968)
Still sounds great today!
