    >Pardon my ignorrance, but what is a concept album?


    like Sgt Pepper, man, groovy!



  Yeah they were big in the late '60's/early '70's.  Tommy and =
Quadrophenia are=20
  good examples - basically the whole album tells a story with all the =
songs being
  thematically linked. =20
  Mike=20
Don't forget The Kinks! They did a series of concept albums just at that =
time period you mention.
'Arthur', 'Lola vs Powerman', 'Muswell Hillbillies', and in particular =
(as a story goes) 'Preservation' acts 1 and 2. Highly recommended =
albums!
