Re: Cocept albums: The Wall, Tommy
The Wall is superior to Tommy as a concept, in my opinion. Though G's surprise Alice Cooper entry is a good one in so far as the concept is obvious and the songs relevant to it. The Lamb is my least favourite Gabriel Era.
Mine would be "Histoire De Melody Nelson."
Followed closely by "Infected" by The The.

Re: Cocept albums: The Wall, Tommy
I think From the Inside is more a concept album from Alice than Nightmare
Of the ones mentioned by Tero, I favor The Wall. I never cared for Tommy. It never seemed up to snuff musically to me. And I don't even know the others he mentioned.
Pretty much every Pink Floyd album is a concept album, isn't it? I prefer Animals over The Wall, though I do very much like The Wall.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Could you consider Songs From the Wood a concept album?

Re: Cocept albums: The Wall, Tommy
I even liked Underture. But after 10 listenings, I could not play the whole thing anymore, due to the lyrics. I've reduced it to 5 songs. Underture I've stuck by itself on assorted playlists.tattuchu wrote:I think From the Inside is more a concept album from Alice than NightmareOf the ones mentioned by Tero, I favor The Wall.

Other than the cute small titties, penis song etc., 200 Motels was mostly about the terrible food in England

When it comes to concept albums by The Who, there can be only one - and it's not Tommy! Quadrophenia is far superior and has aged immeasurably better!

Re: Cocept albums: The Wall, Tommy
I didn't get that either. It was basically about being young? Mods and rockers?

Re: Cocept albums: The Wall, Tommy
I was going to say just that. I was obsessed with the album as a teenager, and it's still one of my favourites - still a fantastic hunk of music-making.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:When it comes to concept albums by The Who, there can be only one - and it's not Tommy!
