That's strange, I only like CRAPPY albums! Gives me something to complain about. Fun stuff.

I'm going to take the worst song off every Tull album and put it on a mix tape! That should be an amusing waste of a day.

By "mix tape" you mean "Burned CD," right?

Oh, a burned CD. Sure, I could do that instead.

assuming that the music is equally awesome for all three choices, I like an album with a story.

Some albums with a story are great and easy to follow while others are definitely too hard to understand. I voted w/o because I prefer to listen to a musical theme as opposed to a lyrical theme (if that makes sense!).Confused

Non-concept is what I prefer. But  all types, as long as I can immerse myself in the music.

Non-concept albums usually have catchier and less contrived lyrics, most of my favorite albums have no concept

Frances the mute. I don't know exactly what kind of album it is, but it feels like an exorcism.

Concept without story, since it ties together the music better, provides inspired lyrics and yet avoids the forced music writing to pad the story that's seen on most concept albums with lyrics.
