List ‘Em Carefully: The Top Concept Albums
The concept album is an unusual beast. Sometimes the plot of the album is blatant and clear. Sometimes you know there’s a concept there, but couldn’t articulate it if you tried.

If you’re not, then you’ll just have to ask their folks. Back in the ’70s, this English act was all the talk. There wasn’t a muscle car in the high [...]
