Never mind the bollocks
Surely that has a unifying concept of its own: i.e. "**** conceptualism"?

Kopyright Liberation Front - Waiting for the Rites of Mu. the cd with the music journalist reporting about the procession on Jura to a stone circle where a strange ritual takes place, as he gets more and more freaked out by it all... I can't figure out if it's all fake or all real.

I don t think Never mind the bollocks was about "**** conceptualism" the concept behind the pistols was situationism ie (in my opinion) replace conventional works of art like concept albums with events designed to shock and provoke the audience. So it was **** elitism and musical techniques/oneupmanship and replace it with something raw and energetic

The thing is, Mastodon's stuff is mind bogglingly expansive and ambitious and extremely aggressive and doomy (as proper metal should be). Crack The Skye just took things to the next level - when you grasp what it's actually about (not the b0ll0x story they spouted off), it's crushingly sad.
I love to hear musicians breaking out of the pop music box and stretch themselves.

Does "Wish You Were Here" count as a concept album?
Another vote for The Bends here too.

The Bends isn't a concept album.
Sgt. Pepper or Animal Sounds.

Green Day's American Idiot ticks the box for concept album. Despite that, I like it.

How about Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age.
A pretty cool concept of dailing (sp) though your car radio and picking up rocking tunes.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire pretty much hits the spot concept wise.

+ 2112
and will throw Bowie's Diamond Dogs into the mix.
Muse - don't know whether the resistance is a proper concept album...Posted 1 year ago # -
Orbital - In sides
Not sure if it fulfils the 'concept' criteria though.

Jóhann Jóhannson "IBM 1401, A User's Manual"
Inspired by a recording of an IBM mainframe computer which Jóhann's father, Jóhann Gunnarsson, made on a reel-to-reel tape machine more than 30 years ago, the piece was originally written to be performed by a string quartet as the accompaniment to a dance piece by the choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir. For the album version, Jóhann rewrote the entire score, and it was recorded by a sixty-piece string orchestra. He also added a new final section and incorporated electronics alongside those original tape recordings of the singing computer.
The full story of the album can be read at ausersmanual.org

Porcupine Tree's 'The Incident' is very good and it's technically a concept album, but to my mind a concept album should be a bit ridiculous. So in that vein I like Dream Theatre's 'Scenes from a Memory' and (this is actually quite embarrassing because it's like a parody of a concept album) Ayreon's 'The Human Equation'.

U2 - The Unforgettable Fire .. surely?
So different from the previous Boy, October, War, Under a Blood Red Sky, a few of us were into U2 around that time and I remember when we got The Unforgettable Fire we just looked at each other and thought 'what the ****?'
