Concept Album "Show?"

Spaz said "Let me put a spin on the idea. Instead of singling out (favoring) certain albums because they're thematic, what if once a month Wednesday wasn't simply No Request Wednesday, but No Request Album Wednesday."

I think this is a good Idea and curb the bickering about what is and what isn't a concept album. At least we could hear an entire album by an artist regardless of concept or not. I would like to hear, say GG- Power and the Glory album as much as Genesis-the Lamb, so either way would be good to me. The only problem I can foresee is that if someone doesn't like the album of choice, they may not want to sit thru the whole album but the saying goes, you can't please everybody 100% of the time.
I really think this is a great Idea, I love hearing entire albums.

I agree with Laudio. People might not sit through an entire album if they don't like it - I can already hear the groans when "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" or "From Bones to Satellite" gets pulled by SAM, but then again, someone out there hates Yes. So, ignoring the completely opinion-based "let's play this album but not this one," which could devolved into teenagers arguing over what to put on the turntable back in the 70s, let's just put them all on!

Bickering over what's a concept album, #1: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Not prog, I know, but is it a concept
