Whoa!
Yep! The term for these are "concept albums", where the whole thing comes together around one central theme.
In the past 2 or so days I've listened to:
-Dark Side of the Moon
-Radio KAOS
-Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
-Kid A
...all of which have been mentioned in this thread already. Plus Amnesiac and Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. And yes all of those are definitely best listened to in album format. They're more like 50 minute long songs.
If I have Winamp on shuffle mode and a song out of one of these comes up, I usually either just skip it or put the whole album on. It's not the same otherwise.
