Concept/Thematic Albums?
Luigison:
As some of the long timers may remember I am a fan of thematic albums and thus my list below:
Date Artist Album MyStarRating
1972 David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust And the Spiders from Mars David Bowie ***
1975 The Who: Tommy *
1979 Pink Floyd: The Wall ****
1983 Styx: Mr. Roboto **
1988 Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime *****
2004 Green Day: American Idiot ***
2009 Coheed and Cambria: Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow ***
I am saddened by the current popular short 3 to 4 minute pop songs. If anyone has any long form suggestions or disagrees with my above ratings please let me know. I welcome any and all discussion. Thanks in advance!
Lizard Dude:
Haven't there always been popular short 3 to 4 minute pop songs? I don't think any musical era was filled with epic saga albums as a majority...
Janelle MonĂ¡e probably has the biggest popular concept albums currently. Have you listened to those?
Luigison:
Yes, I should have worded that better. I'm saddened by the fact that most people don't buy or listen to entire albums anymore.
No, but I will. Thanks
Weegee:
One star for Tommy? Explain yoself foo
Luigison:
LD,
I gave her a listen (actually watch a few YouTube videos) and think that the concept(s) are great and require multiple listens. I've add them to my list.
WeeGee,
I should have stated the the ratings were relative to my opinions on other albums listed only. Overall I think Tommy should get a least a 3 star rating.
