I like banRAB that have concepts running through a series of albums rather than every song being about the same thing,

Someone mentioned Alice Coopers Welcome To My Nightmare , the same concept also runs through his Dada & Last Temptation album.

I think the Cure did it best with Pornography / Disintegration & Bloodflowers
 
im sure you guys know what a concept album so ya it can be in rock, prog, metal, etc.

mine

Dreaming Neon Black by Nevermore
Blood Mountain by Mastodon
Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden
Crimson by Edge of Sanity


so ya what about you guys
 
1) Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth.
2) Rhapsody of Fire - The Emerald Sword Saga (5 Album Epic).
3) Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle, Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer, The Human Equation.

That's all I can think of now.
 
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails Self-loathiing + rape + heroin + violence + suicide = great album

Aenima by Tool

and of course

The Wall by Pink Floyd
 
^Oh, I didnt even THINK about Alice Cooper.

I believe "Welcome to my Nightmare" is on of the best concept albums ever. I saw him live and he did his whole show, including the guilotine and everything and it was AMAZING.
 
I can't believe I'm the first one to say Scenes From A Memory- Dream theater- awesome album
Ayreon- The Human Equation
Rush- 2112
Pink Floyd- The wall, Dark Side Of The Moon
Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime
Iced earth- Something Wicked This way Comes
Symphony X- The odessey
 
The Pretty Things - SF Sorrow

Generally considered to be the first ever rock concept album , even pre dating Tommy.

I like it quite a lot but i`ve not got a f*cking clue what it`s supposed to be about.
 
Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon, The Wall.

Mastadon - Leviathan, Blood Mountain.

Protest the Hero - Kezia (Even though they don't like it to be called a concept album but it tells a story so they can't avoid it.)

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute

The Who - Tommy

That's all I really care about so...
