I always liked Queen 2. It's a good medieval sounding rock albumn. Ogre Battle, Seven Seas of Rhye, and Procession are epic.

Another of my favorites is ELP's Pictures at an exhibiton The Sage is a great acoustic song. The whole albumn is based on a classic piece.

Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Rush - Hemishpheres or 2112
Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm (crappy vocals and annoying voiceovers, but the music by Trevor Horn is amazing.

Don't know if some of these really qualify as "concept" albums

1. Beatles-Magical Mystery Tour
2. Alan Parsons Project- I Robot
3. Billy Thorpe- Children of the Sun
4. ELP- Karneval 9
5. 10cc- Deceptive Bends

It's pretty obvious that Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime" dominates this department.

Well, since I happen to think that the Who's "Tommy" is the greatest album ever in general, I think it's the obvious choice for my favorite concept album.

Am I the only one here who thinks Engines of Creation, by Satch, isn't as bad an album as people make it out to be?
