Jethro Tull- Aqualung and Thick as a Brick, are 2 of my favorites.

Not really. Tales is the only concept album out of their classic output.

Anything by Alan Parsons Project would be pretty true.

I stand corrected. Might have jumped the gun on that.

This is all missing the point of "classic rock" concept albums.

Besides basically being the death knell for any more good music coming from Styx, "Kilroy Was Here" was a total ripoff of "2112" from Rush.

Future fascist government outlaws music...hero revives music and saves the world.

I was so disappointed in Dennis DeYoung when he did this...and probably why the rest of the band booted him.

Not a concept album. There was a 20 minute song and then 5 other songs that had nothing to do with the first one.

THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY
-- GENESIS

But, a "rock concept" song or album should be basic -- basic like the supernatural struggle between Good and Evil. So, here's one of the great "rock concept" songs: Supper's Ready.
