Concept Albums

Well for me it has to be the Neon Evangelion concept album called "Grand Unification" by Fightstar.

Seriously, this is the cover

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Ullaaa! Ullaaa!

That and Meco's Star Wars and other Galactic Funk Sci-Fi Disco album.

Death's the Sounds of Perseverance. I may think that Chuck Schuldiner isn't a good vocalist, but I have to give massive props to an album by a death metal band that is actually about struggling with ones own mortality (and eventual death due to brain cancer).

Lupe Fiasco's The Cool- Based off of the song "The Cool" on his debut album, Lupe tells the story of Michael Young History (My Cool Young History)and his journey through the debauchery that can come about from living the American Dream. Goes through such themes as Greed, Lust, Commercialization dumbing down the media and its content. It also features a rap song rapped from the perspective of a Big Mac

Came here to say The Cool, glad I was beaten to it. Superb album.
