jcroach Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 My inner 14 year old offered me $5 if I'd put these up here: My inner 14 year old thanks you for that! Here's a couple of other good ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Seeing Zen Arcade reminded me of this Grant Hart one. I used to have it on tape way back when. Some good stuff on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheelco Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Genesis--The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway I'm shocked that no one has mentioned this one yet.MBed - you know I love that one people here are very "indie" and all, though Yeah baby! You know it makes sense! I love Rush....or I did up to about Signals.Try "Counterparts" not a concept album, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Seeing Zen Arcade reminded me of this Grant Hart one. I used to have it on tape way back when. Some good stuff on there. Nice choice. I often think that Grant Hart's songwriting is not given enough credit for the success of the Huskers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Nice choice. I often think that Grant Hart's songwriting is not given enough credit for the success of the Huskers. i believe he felt the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I, too, love the DBT's Southern Rock Opera. I'll add Richard Buckner's "The Hill" and Okkervil River's "Black Sheep Boy". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TemplePilot Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'll prob take heat for this around here, but... Local H- Pack Up The Cats Why? That's what I logged in to post.

sureshot Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 take some heat? why? local h is alright, in fact i had that on in the car this morning. i didn't realize it was a concept album though. ha i dunno, it didnt strike me that the typical Wilco fan would overlap with Local H, but then again I'm here too Yea, its definitely a concept album. The first two tracks revolve around his life in a dead end town. The "singer" first decides to shoot for the big time on "Lucky" ("Pack up the cats And move to the city, Leave the checks and the balance behind"). Then he arrives on the scene directly after that with "Hit The Skids" (you hear in the beginning all the annoying roadie answering machine messages, who are suddenly gravitating to him and trying to be his friend). Then in 500,000 Scovilles, things have picked up more ("I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

noyes Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 one of my favorite albums that just happens to be a concept album. somehow the idea of each of the four tracks being 20+ minutes long doesn't phase me.one of the very few albums i've ever heard in which the sound is so spacial, so colossally driven, so expansively beautiful. it's total beauty.every guitar bit, every keyboard run, every drum roll, every bass groove, every vocal delivery.good shit.
