Concept Album "Show?"

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

Okay, I've been wanting to do something of a show. How would this sound to y'all.

I'd like to host what I'd like to call "The Listener's Corner." This would be a 90-120 minute show that could feature playing the "concept album" and a 60 minute set from our listeners (much like those put together for the 10th Anniversary show). This would allow listeners to express their interests and tastes via a small show without having to do the work, both on the album side, as well as single tracks.

I may, from time to time, take that time to play an album and set list of my own choosing, as well.

I like the idea of a "random album" played on NRW, and this would not preclude or substitute for that notion. I think that's fine as it stands. My show would be to monitor and manage the choices of 'concept albums.' Yes, I'm volunteering to be the scapegoat. (O' lord, what am I getting myself into)

Anyway, what do you think?

And all this as a live broadcast, OHD, that would be THE event of the week. (we would allow a few prerecorded shows a year.. )

Well, I certainly won't be making the shows when I'm dead.
Perhaps I'll do 'real time' shows once I've honed my craft.
I was thinking more along the lines of people sending me lists of songs from which to pull a playlist.

So, come on folks, let's jump on the bandwagon.

Alright - this show is now a reality. A concept album is being featured as the opening act of "Corner of the Mooniverse."

Earlier in this thread a number of albums were named as potential concept albums. I will re-enumerate the sugestions again here and I would like you to add more suggestions.

Here's what we started with:

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Trans Siberian Orch - Beethoven's Last Night
Mozart - Symphony 40 & 41
Mastermind - Rhapsody
Ayreon - any

Triumvirat - Pompeii & Spartacus

GG- Power and the Glory
Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Marillion's: Misplaced Childhood, Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, and Marbles
Pink Floyd's: Darkside OTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall.
Nectar - Remember the Future, and Recycle
