Here are mine, most have already been mentioned:
Tommy (The Who)
Thick as a Brick (Jethro Tull)
The Lamb Lies Down (Genesis)
The Six Wives of Henry VIII (Rick Wakeman)
Wasn't Tarkus (Emerson, Lake and Palnmer) a concept album?
Man, now I gotta go listen to those again! I haven't heard'em in such a long time!

Yup Tarkus is a concept album and it is pretty good too!
My favourite concept albums are:
Beach Boys- Smile (i know they never released it but you can download great versions of this album that dedicated fans have put together from studiosessions)
Lou Reed- Berlin. This is about as dark as it can become but it is a perfect concept album, in which each song brings up new perspectives on the story and the characters.
Elliott Smith- From a basement on a hill. This is a heartbreaking concept album about a drug addicts' self destruction.
Joni Mitchell - hissing of summer lawns. This is a great record that links together themes about colonialism and patriarchal structures in the western society.
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society. Wonderful british sentimentality and humour.
Spirit - 12 dreams of Dr Sardonicus. Great concept album (even if iu actually prefere their earlier records)
+ sgt pepper and tommy of course!

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Rolling Stone magazine called Rain Dogs Waits's "finest portrait of the tragic kingdom of the streets". The album's title comes from an expression which also suggests this tragic kingdom of the streets; "Rain dogs" are dogs which became lost after the rain washed away the scent of home, thus barring their return. Waits cast further light on the metaphor by stating that the album was about "People who live outdoors. You know how after the rain you see all these dogs that seem lost, wandering around. The rain washes away all their scent, all their direction. So all the people on the album are knit together, by some corporeal way of sharing pain and discomfort."

love this thread...
love the radiohead, and pumpkins references-- and of course the Blue Oyster Cult.
This may be stretching it a bit but what about REM? i don't believe they actually have an album they call a concept, but i hear many many related themes in them. even their songs in general sometimes chronalize (idk if thats a word) entire passages of history, and of course "man on the moon" being about andy kaughman. maybe i just think these guys need more credit.
also speaking of the smashing pumpkins, melancholy and the infinite sadness i believe is a loose concept album, and just generally excellent.
if anyone likes the band say anything, about a boy was supposed to be a concept album but never realized its full potential, the songs are linked somewhat though.

this is a pretty cool thread--definitely worth resurrecting!
mark me down for yet another vote for "lamb lies down on broadway."
porcupine tree, "fear of a blank planet."
opeth, "still life."

A concept for an album
This always happens on a Saturday night! Someone has a quiet weekend and decides to put the defibrillator on a flat-lining thread!
I think it should be a concept for an Album ‘What you do on a quiet Saturday night’ There is lots of potential here – there are so many natural tensions.
The sound of Saturday night at home; alone with your thoughts, memories, the one you love, no one turns up to your party, you weren’t invited to the party, perhaps you have been out and come back, perhaps you are on your way out and never leave.
This could be February’s challenges?
