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 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.

One of the few besides Tommy to make it to the stage. Speaking of, the IoW recording was an amazing journey.
