What is your favorite concept album? Whos was it? and what was the concept?

Answer 1

The Black Parade
The Patient dies and dies with his strongest memory, his father taking him to a parade. So, his death comes in the form of a parade. He meets alot of people along the way and thinks he is going to hell. He eventually braves up and wants to change.

American Idiot
The Jesus of Suburbia has a strong rebelion against the government. He hates everyone and eventually leaves home to party and then to be all alone. He questions who he really is and meets a boy called St. Jimmy, (or turns himself into jimmy), who shows him drugs. He meets a girl who he really likes and is a rebel girl. She eventually mocks him and leaves him. His friend jimmy kills himself, he gets a letter from an old friend that he wants him back home. So, he goes back home. He can't get that girl out of his head.

Answer 2

Well, there's the first ever rock opera, 'Tommy' innovatively made by the Who. I love how the songs are telling a story and are all connected but each song stands on its own: any could have been released on the radio. There's also the Who's 'Quadrophenia', but I consider it to be inferior to 'Tommy'. 'The Who Sell Out' is my favorite of their concept albums.

Pink Floyd made some great ones. 'The Wall', has some great music but it's a disjointed effort. I also like 'Animals'. Their best is obviously 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Music didn't sound like this in 1973, even post-psychadelic era. Incredibly innovative and interesting.

Those are a few of my faves, but my favorite is 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band', the Beatle's trippy answer to psychadelia and a great and innovative album. This album alone brought the idea of a concept album to the forefront. My favorite song is the classic, eerie 'A Day in the Life'. Innovative doesn't even begin to describe this song or this album. Everything the Beatles did was magic, and this album was no acception.

Answer 3

Thick as a brick-Jethro Tull.The concept was that the entire poem set to music by Jethro Tull was written by an eight-year-old genius.The album art was in the form of a local weekly English paper with a picture of the boy and a story on the front page.

Answer 4

Sgt. peppers and the lonely hearts club band, i mean come on, it started the whole concept era. what was it about? a rock band that fought evil with music..... ha ha
another great concept album is
pink floyd's wish you were here, if I'm correct it deals with the death of their 2nd lead singer who was really into LSD at the time, and closed himself from the outside world, after his death pink floyd's band members stop ed taking LSD and pretty much made albums about their friend....the wall, dark side of the moon, wish you were here, etc.
though they've said they stop ed taking lsd, from listening to their music you can clearly tell that pretty much most of the songs were inspired by it, you should try taking a psychedelic and listening to one of their albums, best expirience you'll ever have, it's like you're literally climbing into the music, and you become part of it..

Answer 5

The Who's "Tommy". Deaf, dumb and blind boy could play mean a pinball. Abused child becomes a religious idol. The first rock opera.

Answer 6

"the black parade" "my chemical romance"
the concept is that theirs this dude he's known as the patient and he ends up dying and when he dies,his fondest memory of his father taking him to a takes him to his death and gerard way says that thats the concept of the album that when we die hopefully our greatest memories will take us away to our death
