Concept Albums
Got a favorite? Will concept album survive the iTunes age where most buy just a song at a time?
One of my personal favorite concept albums...  Great country rock - great Americana!

Jackson Browne's the dead guy on the left and J.D. Souther on the right. I always liked Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell and Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On as 2 great concept albums.

Favorite concept album:
Marillion's Misplaced Childhood from wikipedia "The story has thematic elements of lost love, sudden success, acceptance, and lost childhood, along with an upbeat ending."

Quadrophenia and Tommy are my top two rock operas . . . in fact, I've had 'Is it in my head? rolling through my brain all morning . . . er, day . . . I've been up for a long time. Really.

"White City: A Novel" was also by Townshend. IIRC at the time, he said he didn't think he could get away with another opera, so he wrote a novel. Lots of good songs there for the uninitiated.
