I'm surprised that none of Marilyn Manson's albums have been mentioned, especially Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holywood.

Talk Talk: Spirit of Eden
Talk Talk: Laughing Stock (this is getting close to being my standard response to everything in here :) but it fits the topic) |
I just saw this DVD:
Classic Albums - Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of Moon http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg A must see. You can see how they created this album as a whole. Quote:
|
A Grand Don't Come For Free - The Streets
|
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (the debut album)
Pixies - Surfer Rosa Aimee Mann - I'm with Stupid |
Deep Purple - Machine Head
|
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
I can't think of any album that has a more perfect song order than this. |
Anything ever released by Porcupine Tree.
|
American Idiot by Green Day is one. ( albeit over hyped)
|
Scorpions - Lovedrive
Led Zeppelin - I, II, Zoso, Physical Graffitti Rush - Moving Pictures |
Quote:

sigur ros - Ágætis Byrjun
do make say think - winter hymn country hymn secret hymn radiohead - ok computer/kid.a pretty much any godspeed album, same goes for dream theater last that i can think of but not least, sasha - airdrawndagger you might have noticed im on an ambient music kick :p |
Copeland - "In Motion"
|
Travis--The Man Who...
Just listened to it again on my roadtrip to California. So great. |
Too High to Die - Meat Puppets (not a concept album, but the songs are all good and the album is best appreciated when listened to from beginning to end)
Deep Purple - Book of Taliesyn Iron Butterfly - Metamorphosis Beatles - Abbey Road |
The soundtrack from the movie Immortal Beloved. If you are at all curious about Beethoven, this is the perfect sarter CD. It is also one of the highest quality recurdings I have heard on a CD.
|
a couple for me that i just can't listen to in parts or i feel the experience is cheapened:
Passion Immortal Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element I (really, all of their albums though) Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse Meshuggah - Catch 33 Yen Pox - New Dark Age Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A# Infinity Devin Townsend - Terria |
ELP-Brain Salad Surgery
WASP-Crimson Idol |
Modest Mouse are, in my opinion, very good at making that sort of album. And at the risk of sounding like an annoying hipster indie kid, Funeral by The Arcade Fire was pretty good that way too. Harry Nilsson's A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night is probably one of my favorite examples of that sort of thing, though, it's really a spectacular album.

I also second "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" (The Flaming Lips") and would like to add: - Anything put out by The Cinematic Orchestra - "Mezzanine" - Massive Attack - Anything put out by Labradford - "Trust" - Low |
Emperor - Prometheus - The Discipline of Fire and Demise
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth pretty much any Rhapsody album (they're basically all concept albums, and all of their songs sound alike :P) |
I second the Alice in Chains - Dirt already mentioned. For those who don't know, this is an ablum that follows the course of a heroine junkie. Trying it for the first time, to addiction, to kicking the habit. The most well orchestrated album I've ever heard. A few others that come a distant second:
Counting Crows - August and Everything After Bad Religion - Stranger than Fiction James - Laid R.E.M. - Out of Time |
Quote:
|
Alan Parsons Project - Pyramid.
I second Cake. Oh, Focus' Focus III |
Nobody mentioned King Diamond yet? God i miss the 80's
|
I second Massive Attack - Mezzanine, and add:
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Nirvana - In Utero The Beatles - Revolver, Rubber Soul Coldplay - Parachutes Elliot Smith - Either Or Sublime - Sublime (I think) |
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
|
!!! - Louden up now
Orbital - all the albums I know Maybe not a one song album, but nevertheless a great album with not even one crappy song on it Franz Ferdinand |

I will have to second both Dirt and In Utero.
And for me, the second side of Abbey Road is the ultimate musical flow. Of course, I'm a huge Beatles fan so that probably has something to do with it, but for all the reading I've done, and to know that the whole second side of this album was mostly done by Paul, alone, with others stopping by explicitly when he was not around to record, and then all ending with The End where everyone throws in their bit (one of my fav Beatles songs) is just something special to me, I guess. And yes, I know, it technically ends with her Her Majesty, but don't ruin my dream. :) I will also have to add Pearl Jam's VS, which isn't really meant to be a concept album at all, but it's usually an album I won't stop once it gets started. |
Cursive - The Ugly Organ. Total concept album; somebody hates his penis (but seriously, it's actually good and not so explicit. They actually have an organ, it's a double meaning...)
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Notwist's Neon Golden, the best cohesive album in recent memory. |
Abbey Road - Beatles, b/c it flows perfectly into the medley at the end, which you obviously have to listen to at one time
Opiate - Tool, again, flows brilliantly to the last song I second Electric Ladyland - Hendrix |
Tool - Lateralus
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory |
I have seen Roger Waters mentioned with both Radio KAOS and Amused to Death, but you also have to include The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking in the mix. Although this was his first solo album, not counting Music from the Body, he continued the "concept album" idea that he concluded with the last few albums he did with Pink Floyd. This is an album I think that you have to listen to, alot, and let it grow on you. I think the song "Every Strangers Eyes" is one of RW's best, though. I found this lengthy article discussing Pros and Cons... a while back, and think it is as good an explanation as any.

All the 70's Floyd albums
I thought Exile on Main Street was a great album, and they all fit to me, with that great country sound for the Stones. Another is Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, which she says was written as a response to Exile on Main Street. Nebraska? A perfect album Van Morrison -- Veedon Fleece Gotta think about this There are lots of jazz and classical albums that coem to mind, but I think the idea here is for mainstream popular music |
Rush - 2112
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime |
I'm totally hardcore indie hipster as my list will show;).
Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse The Moon And Antarctica- Modest Mouse El Cielo- Dredg You Forgot It In People- Broken Social Scene Funeral- Arcade Fire Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots- Flaming Lips Hemispheres, 2112- Rush Ok Computer Kid A- Radiohead (in my opinion) By The Way- Red Hot Chili Peppers The Will To Death- John Frusciante Frances The Mute, De-Loused In The Comatorium- Mars Volta The Downward Spiral- NIN There's my slightly extensive list.

Anything by Pink Floyd (except post The Final Cut albums), Tool, and Dredg ( especially El Cielo). NIN - The Downward Spiral, Nirvana - Nevermind, and most albums by Led Zeppelin. I guess I'm going to have to go out and get Rush -2112 since it's been mentioned so much on this thread. I'm surprised I have never listened to it before....
