The Concept album 23:11 - Jun 9 with 4556 views222gers

Generally thought to have started in the progrock era but in my collection I have two from the mid-fifties : West Coast Suite by Mel Torme which is about, well, the West Coast of the USA, and Just Strike A Match by April Ames which is an album about cigarettes ( I kid you not) .
Favourite concept albums anyone ?

Man, i love the artwork on those Krautrock '70's concept albums.


Love this Vangellis Cover also..



That's originally McKies' cover for the Pan edition of Brian Stableford's 'Promised Land'.

Devoured SF growing up and absolutely loved Stableford's Hooded Swan books in particular (so much so I recognised the artwork 40 years later...).

Sadly Stableford passed away just a few months ago. <end-geek>

Three proper concept albums I love

Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues
In Search of the Lost Chord - The Moody Blues
The War of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne

All superb.

XTC’s Skylarking album was a concept album in intention if not in execution.


That's a great shout for 'War of The worlds' because its not a band as such it didn't pop in my head.

Side 1 is on my running MP3.

Beer and Beef has made us what we are - The Prince Regent

One for the ageing hippies, but my favourite concept album is Hawkwind's Space Ritual. Would have loved to have seen the shows.


I would give you Captain Lockheed and the starfighters by former member Robert Calvert
