I really like concept albums and that's mainly what I've been listening to recently. I want anyone who posts here to mention their fav. concept album and give a little bit of the plot summary.

My Fav. would have to be the Joker's Cards albums by Insane Clown Posse. The story is the is basically the entities that are in us all telling us what to do and controlling whether we go to Shangri-La or Hell's Pit....

ElectricBugaloo

Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth

Hands down. To write a power metal album about Lord of the Rings shows guts.

It doesn't really show guts... a lot of metalheads are closet nerds anyways.

And I forgot about Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

Nevermind that. It was probably poor word choice.

Still a damn good album though.

The Kinks - Schoolboys In Disgrace
The Kinks - Preservation Act 1
The Kinks - Preservation Act 2

Once upon a time there was a naughty little schoolboy. He and his gang were always playing tricks on the teachers and bullying other children in the school. One day he got himself into very serious trouble with a naughty schoolgirl and he was sent to the Headmaster who decided to disgrace the naughty boy and his gang in front of the whole school.

After this punishment the boy turned into a hard and bitter character. Perhaps it was not the punishment that changed him but the fact that he realised people in authority would always be there to kick him down and the Establishment would always put him in his place. He knew that he could not change the past but he vowed that in the future he would always get what he wanted. The naughty little boy grew up... into Mr. Flash.

Amongst those in disgrace are: Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Mick Avory, John Dalton, John Gosling (The Kinks), and others too naughty to mention including
J. Beacham (trombone) and A. Holmes and N. Newell (saxophones).

Written, arranged and produced by Master Raymond Douglas Davies.
Engineered by Roger Wake. Recorded at Konk Studios, London, during school holidays.
