I thought that wasn't technically a concept album.

[davestar]

for me this question reads "albums you like despite being 'concept' albums"

Protest The Hero - Kezia
Mastodon - Leviathan
Mastodon - Blood Mountain

 

[skyofavalon]

Genesis : Selling England by the Pound
Kiss : Music from the Elder
Yes : Tales From Topographic Oceans
Billy Idol : Cyber Punk
Queensryche : Oeration Mindcrime

Its hard to pick one,But I've probably listend to Music from the Elder more than any other one.

This is by definition a concept album. I'm not sure if some of the others qualify.

It's about a son killing his own mother and is mentally being tortured for it (Damn).

Oooh that is my favorite as well.

Though My Arms, Your Hearse and Still Life are close behind.

Another that I consider my favorite is Ayreon - The Human Equation

Other favorites of mine include
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Ayreon - The Final Experiment
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Ayreon - Universal Migrator I and II
Ayreon Actual Fantasy (though some may say it isn't a true concept album)
Mastodon - Leviathan
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory
Queensryche _ Operation: Mindcrime I and II

 

[Cobalt]

Either Frances the Mute or De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta.

[Modeps]

All of The Streets albums are kick ass.

edit: Link for you who don't know.

 

[BudAshes]

event horizon was awesome.

 

[Throwmeabone]

What about Explosions in the Sky? Every album has sort of it's own theme.

 

[KeithTalent]

Forgot to add Cursive's Domestica, which is a great album about a relationship between two people. I actually prefer it to the better known The Ugly Organ they released a couple of years after.
