Big lyrical concepts from the days when people had attention spans... Vote for your favourite or even the one you think is the best. I tried to keep them as close in the same time frame as one another but I considered Roger Waters' (Pink Floyd -Dark Side Of The Moon) would be the inevitable winner.

The Wall. That album was massively important to me in my early twenties. Waters was the only musician speaking to me. |

from this list, Quadrophenia
But if you included TAAB, it would've gotten the nod easily (APP sucks)

TFTO for the music, I really don't care about the lyrics of any of those.

Unfortunately it's in Italian, but there's a binch of concept albums by Fabrizio de Andre which would deserve a translation:
Non Al Denaro Non All'Amore Ne' Al Cielo (Not for Money, Not for Love not for Heaven) is based on Edgar Lee Masters "Spoon River". Some songs are pure poetry. La Buona Novella (The Good Novel) is about the apocriphal gospels: an alternative, medieval, view of the gospels from the announcement to the crucifiction. The second has been extended and re-released by PFM few years ago, but I still prefer the original version. I think I'll review those two...

Just wondering if Anderson, Ian's allegory of eternal death after
life will match with Anderson, Jon's circle of life after death.

Hi,
GENESIS will probably run away with this one, although I prefer PASSION PLAY, with the obvious point that it is really hard to figure out and explain to people what the album is really all about. My main complaint about the GENESIS effort is one of the last pieces in the album ... it's a cop out, and destroyed the story and the staging for me, by bringing it back to just another pop song for the masses. My guess is that the producers and such wanted something more positive than the whole story, and they were not interested in "The Nekkid Lunch" version of rock music! BTW, Roger's album should not be listed ... ANGE had the same thing done 20 years before and it was vastly superior ... with the exception that in many places folks hate singers that don't kiss the as* in English. EMILE JACOTEY is a hundred times better than Roger's effort, which is almost a complete rip off, made just for the rock'n'roll masses!

The Lamb is genius----but I like the cosmic spaciness of Tales.

The Lamb Lies Down On Braodway, check out: The Annotated Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Scott McMahan, very interesting read for more understanding about Peter Gabriel his lyrics. Edited by TenYearsAfter - June 25 2019 at 10:50 |

I voted for Ian Anderson, though followed very closely by Peter Gabriel and Jon Anderson. Roger Waters is a little behind.

I'm definitely a Yes maniac, but Gabriel's story on TLLDOB is incredibly novel and almost untouchable in both its beauty and complexity. Tales is fantastic, but it is a little verbose and is essentially a super-stoned expansion of a footnote from a (good) book. Not belittling, but Gabriel's message was a little more in depth for me!
