Yeah, I usually hate threads like these, but we're all hypocritical at times. I'm usually on the road for six hours(ugh, traveling back between Mom and Dan is a pain) twice a month, and I was wanting some concept albums to listen to. I have all of Pink Floyd's, and will be getting Sgt. Peppers and Tommy, just wanting to know what you guys think would be good. Thanks Guys.

Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime is probably my favorite concept album ever... But then again, I love Queensryche a lot.
Some other great ones are:
Pretty much any Rush album... 2112 is probably the best The Streets- A Grand Don't come for Free Daft Punk- Interstella 5555... Except I'm not sure it exists as an album... It may just be a dvd. The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds The Kinks- Face to Face
I'm sure there's something awesome I'm forgetting.

Flaming Lips - Zarieeka
Greatest album ever and I'm not really a Flaming Lips fan. Although you will need between 2 and 4 CD players to get the most out of the 4 disc set.

Truth be known as far as Who concept albums go, I like Quadrophenia more than Tommy.

Definitely anything by Coheed and Cambria, though they aren't concept albums, but rather, concept collections. All of their albums run together to form a story, yet to be completed.
Senses Fail's "Still Searching" also tells a great story that is really easy to follow if you're into that sort of music.

Sgt. Pepper, as you said is obvious. I'm just strengthening this.
The following is a list of albums that have been noted as concept albums. Not all have a straight storyline (Sgt. Pepper doesn't really follow it's storyline explicitly), but many have a recurring theme that holds the albums together.
Radiohead- OK Computer The Arcade Fire- Funeral The White Stripes- Get Behind Me Satan Of Montreal- Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? The Decemberists- The Crane Wife The Flaming Lips- Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots R.E.M.- Automatic for the People Mastodon- Blood Mountain The Thermals- The Body, The Blood, The Machine Green Day- American Idiot Nine Inch Nails- The Downward Spiral Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
All of these I would highly recommend.

I also guess, besides the one I already stated, if you don't the genre, David Bowie's Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars is pretty good

Like others have said, any of the Coheed and Cambria albums are great. I would suggest "Fear of a Blank Planet" from Porcupine Tree.

I don't think this is correct, otherwise the majority of all albums ever made would be considered concept albums.
