Concept Album Extravaganza: Scenes From A Memory wins!

[SinisterMinisterX]

One more thing... when we know (from interviews etc.) what the intention of the artist was, that counts for something. Sgt. Pepper isn't concept because Lennon says so. Dark Side is concept because Waters says so. It's not everything, but to me the artistic intention is a major factor.

 

[Mosh]

Sorry I meant story or concept, so Dark Side would still count. Judging by your last paragraph I think we agree.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I agree with both of you, but mostly because I want Horror Show added.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Agreed, Horror Show is a great choice for this game.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Carolex Rex is already on Dusty's list. Everything else I would have suggested has already been picked, except for Pink Floyd - Animals, but we've already filled our Pink Floyd quota.

Animals deserves to be in. Pink Floyd are the kings of concept albums, having all four of their greats makes sense.

 

[DJ James]

This is a game I'd play:

Blue Öyster Cult - Imaginos
Gamma Ray - Land of the Free
Manilla Road - Voyager
Motörhead - 1916
Sleep - Dopesmoker

 

[DJ James]

Imaginos — Blue Oyster Cult even though nobody but me ever listens to it

 

[mckindog]

Ah DJ, forgot you were a big BOC fan.

 

[Stardust]

Added Horror Show and Animals. And I also added Sgt Pepper. If anyone disagrees, go do it on your MySpace page.

 

[Mosh]

If anyone disagrees, go do it on your MySpace page.

 

[DJ James]

If the math checks out, that's two yays for Imaginos

Some aspects are vague to me in this topic.

1: Three albums per band

Per person? In the game list? What do you mean?

also:

Mckindog suggested an album. It did not appear in the list (no reaction either). Dityn also mentioned that album. Still not accepted?

What are the criteria?

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

It's Dusty's game and Dusty's choice. He only wants 32 albums, something has to be rejected sooner or later.

 

[Forostar]

Thanks. Aha, a max of 32. Alright, 6 to go!

 

[Forostar]

Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust
Virgin Steele - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part II
Avantasia - The Metal Opera
Scar Symmetry - The Singularity (Phase I - Neohumanity)
Rush - Clockwork Angels

 

[Mosh]

Seconding Rush. Not having that in the game would be blasphemy.

 

[Forostar]

I'd say that goes for the Midnight Oil album as well. An iconic album of the first order.

 

[Cornfed Hick]

If anyone disagrees, go do it on your MySpace page.

I like Mosh's GIF too. Makes me want to see what came immediately before.

 

[Stardust]

Added Midnight Oil and Rush to the list.

You should see it. It's the Rap Battle Parody by DeshawnRaw.
