OK computer.

not sure if this fits in, but I can't just listen to one song on Jar of Files (Alice in Chains)

I take this to mean cocpet/rock opera albums.... I mean there are a lot of great albums I love every song but there's no reall story being told from song to song.

The Kinks and Ray Davies had many truly great concept/rock operas

Village Green Preservation Society
Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)
Lola vs. Powerman And The Moneygoround
Muswell Hillbillies
Preservation Acts 1&2 (the greatest concept rock opera album ever)
Soap Opera
Schoolboys In Disgrace
Phobia

The Stones had a good one in

At His Satanic Majesty's Request

The Beatles had only 1 true "rock opera"

Sgt. Peppers

The Who had 2

Tommy
Quadrophenia

Floyd of course though overrated

the Wall
Dark Side of the Moon
The Final Cut
