I just played American Idiot and The Wall from start to finish. For me, both are absolute masterpieces. I wouldn’t be able to say which is better than the other.

What’s the best concept album for you?

I tried to limit my picks to one per artist and omitted the only loosely conceptual albums.

Top 3:

The Who - Quadrophenia

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

(Not UK) Frank Zappa - Joe’s Garage

Other great ones:

Kinks - Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part 1

Marillion - Clutching at Straws

Moody Blues - Days of Future Past

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

Pink Floyd - it’s impossible to choose just 1

Edit: how could I have forgotten Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds?
