There are plenty of other things you are useless at too.

See? I am glad I was able to give you this confidence-boosting pep talk.

At least Extreme have the claim to fame that they offloaded their singer to Van Halen and in one easy movement hammered the final nail in the wanky tapmeister’s band of rubbish, erm, Americans.

hmmm…i don’t think radiohead have made a concept album really in the traditional sense.

Just follow the link, there are lots of theories going round at the moment linking OK Computer and In Rainbows as one big concept.

Taunty Dan wrote:

what do you think to the niggy tardust album?

It’s good though not “industrial” enough for my liking. It’s more hip hop than Nine Inch Nails. But the cover of U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday is …well…special.
so definitely no contender for the album of the year spot.

No, I knew the words were too much. Maybe a picture of someone pushing a buttong and smiling?

Dan, you can have one more chance. If you an’t sing, then can you at least get the dance right? :mad:

Fear Factory reckon their albums are concept albums of a sort. How writing a bit of silly sci-fi blurb in the booklet makes your samey riffing look like a concept though i’m not sure.

The Who pull it off well.
Even if you don’t to count Tommy and Quadrophenia since they are technically operas, you can look at (listen to that is) The Who Sell Out. It goes off like a pirate radio broadcast with phony ads and everything. That album worked well.

The two Operation Mindcrime albums were good (especially the original).

worst of all time though has to be Kiss’s “Music from the Elder”…ugh

Yeah,

Always kind of hit and miss… I liked Iron Maiden’s “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son”, Dream Theater’s “Scenes from a memory”, Nine Inch Nails “The Downward Spiral” and “Year Zero”, Extreme’s “III Sides to every Story” and Queensryche’s “Operation Mindcrime”.

Can’t really think of many more now of the top of my head.
