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?

The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society.

The young Ray was already deeply nostalgic, as were many of his mid/late 60s contemporaries. Blame the drugs.


I should also mention Windy by Astrud Gilberto. It's more of a (summery) mood album that also feels like a concept one.

@zerofox,

Quadrophenia is THE teen concept album.

A friend of my brother’s bought into the whole scene when the film came out in 1979. I still remember him slagging off the ’plastic mods’.

Unfortunately by then, Punk etc, Pete Townshend was then seen as ancient history.

Ha! What did we know?
