I always liked Big Daddy’s _Sgt. Pepper’s._ It’s a kinda concept album of a concept album…Big Daddy covers the entire Beatles album, and transforms it 1950’s-style. Imagine Buddy Holly performing “A Day in the Life,” Johnny Mathis doing “Fixing a Hole,” and “Within You Without You” as a beatnik coffeehouse poetry-reading with a jazz background… ---

Hmm… I wonder if every Misfit’s CD would count 🙂 If not, then definitely my choice is **King Diamond** ’s “Them.” Fan-fucking-tastic stuff. I don’t know many people who would ever come close to agreeing with me personally, but _someone_ besides me has to be buying his stuff. 😉 ---

Although I’ve never seen it called a concept album, I think a strong case could be made for it anyway - hell, it was more “concept” than 99% of the stuff on this list (_Queen II_ was a concept album?) - and it is: **Spinal Tap** - _Smell The Glove_. ---
