The concept album(s) you listen to most often

[Alle71]

Well my favorites are the 3 concept album masterpieces of GENTLE GIANT:

• Three Friends (April 1972)

• The Power and The Glory (September 1974)

• Interview (April 1976)

Thanks !

Vastly underrated.

Arguably this one.

Or this one.

Probably Hadestown by Anais Mitchell.

[jegreenwood]

You may or may not know “Hadestown” is now a Tony Award winning (best musical and more) Broadway show.

Clockwork Angels by Rush - even the novel is worth reading!

Misplaced Childhood by Marillion. A brilliant example of a great story AND great music.

The Ninth Wave (from Hounds of Love - Kate Bush). Not a whole album but simply bewitching.

[Innocent_Bystander]

Three of my favourites already posted (Three friends, Thick as a brick and Misplaced choldhood.

So many to choose from! I’m not sure I can identify those played most often. These are some that I’ve played several times in the recent past:

Tommy - The Who

The lamb lies down on Broadway - Genesis

Felona and Sorona - Le Orme

The diary - Gentle storm

The Source - Ayreon

N.B. For those posting albums only as images, there are some poorly sighted members of this forum, who use text to speech to read content - but it doesn’t recognise the writing on albums, and if their vision is too poor to adequately see the images they will not know what is posted. It is good practice to use text in addition if you post images.

Mike Batt and Friends Tarot Suite

[mikehughescq]

Thanks. Have been to see it and also own the soundtrack.

It still feels an incomplete work to me. It kind of spirals downwards with an unsatisfactory ending but I’m glad I saw it and love the Mitchell album.

Misplaced Childhood by Marillion. A brilliant example of a great story AND great music.

One of my choices too, indeed, spun the LP last night and thought, wow, this is really good. I’d also add Clutching at Straws and Brave to the Marillion albums.

I listen to a lot of prog, so numerous choices . Sylvan’s Posthumous Silence, Steven Wilson’s Hand. Cannot. Erase, and the recent Glass Hammer trilogy of albums are right up there.

Steven Wilson’s Hand. Cannot. Erase

Funny. I was just looking for that!

[feeling_zen]

Fatboy Slim and David Byrne: Here Lies Love

Utterly bonkers. The tale of Imelda Marcos. First Lady of the Philippines. Yes there’s now a musical but the album came first!

[MaxBertola]

I’m not listening to albums the way I used to these days, but in the past I’d surely say The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

[mikehughescq]

Doh, forgot I also had that.
