I am not sure if it's a concept album but Rush's 2112 is great.

This is a great album but I think it is not conceptual.

Anyway, it is a great one.

Cheers!

Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
One of my relatives bought this album many moons ago and I heard it while at their house one day. I was blown away. Love that moog sound that no-one really does quite like Mr Wakeman. Played it to death. Borrowed it to take home. I've still got it!!!!
And many, many years later I bought him the CD version. Out of guilt no doubt......

King Arthur's not bad either ..................If you want a treat track down the LSO version it is excellent too!
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

 It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

In no particular order...
"Pink World" Planet P Project (Tony Carey)
"Tommy" The Who
And to cheat, all four discs from Coheed and Cambria that make up the Amory Wars story: "Second Stage Turbine Blade", "In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3", "Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. One: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness", and "Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. Two: No World Ford Tomorrow."

My honorable mention is Green Day's "Ameriacn Idiot".

"Quadrophenia" is really the only rock opera that doesn't annoy me with it's absurdity

I really enjoyed the movie. Found it quite funny even though it is essentially about the frustration of youth/early adulthood. The music near the end - that lilting keyboard sequence on the cliffs of Dover (I think) is classic.

By the way the orchestral version of Tubular Bells (David Bedford) is absolutely stunning.
