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?

@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?

They were very prescient and big fans of Elon Musk.
