I just played American Idiot and The Wall from start to finish. For me, both are absolute masterpieces. I wouldn’t be able to say which is better than the other.

What’s the best concept album for you?

    I tried to limit my picks to one per artist and omitted the only loosely conceptual albums.

    Top 3:

    The Who - Quadrophenia

    Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

    (Not UK) Frank Zappa - Joe’s Garage

    Other great ones:

    Kinks - Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part 1

    Marillion - Clutching at Straws

    Moody Blues - Days of Future Past

    David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

    Pink Floyd - it’s impossible to choose just 1

    Edit: how could I have forgotten Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds?

      I’ve always preferred Radio: K.A.O.S. even if the concept of hacking nuclear bombs with a cordless phone is… really fucking dumb.
