 Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd were how I got into those concept albums.  The Minstrel (sp) in the Gallery and Umagumma (sp).
Those are the types of albums, that I have to listen to the whole thing.  If I won't finish the album, I kind of feel like reading a book, or watching a movie, and not finishing them.  Especially if I stop at a punch point.  It's very frustrating then to me.
That's why albums like Breathe, Diesel and Dust, and others that tell the story - I prefer to finish the whole thing (that's what makes me sit in the car in the driveway to finish the whole CD lol)

"tedious" is a good term to describe the general idea now. Certainly if a 
concept album is something else than an overextended jam, they can be 
interesting - I like the idea of a continuing story. The two concept albums 
that I think of first are the two Jethro Tull albums from 30 years ago, 
Thick as a Brick and Passion Play. While I like the band and the music a 
lot, there's no way I can be persuaded to listen to either album for more 
than 15 minutes at a time.
