Concept Albums
A concept album is an album whose tracks hold a larger purpose or meaning collectively than they do individually.

Progressive rock is based on fusions of styles, approaches and genres, involving a continuous move between formalism and eclecticism. Due to its historical reception, the scope of progressive ...
