If you scratch the whole "rock" conceit: Prince Paul's A Prince Among Thieves. Brilliant. Even Everlast sounds great on it!

thats more of a concept album

Prince Among Thieves has more narrative than Arthur!  Plus it has Mario Bros. samples.

The alpha and the omega; I bet I have heard it start to finish 100 times



Dave From Knoxville!  You and Christina the Yes fan would get along swimmingly.  I'm mostly just a fan of Side One of this.

Side two of Small Faces' Ogden's Nutgone Flake is the story of your friend and mine, "Happiness Jack" as he rides a giant fly to find the missing half of the crescent moon.  It ends with the wisdom, "Life is just a bowl of All-bran."
(sorry for the spoiler there...)

I have mentioned this somewhere before, but here's a rock opera about the Protestant Reformation



Hey TL, it's about time for a rock opera about chain-fighting, don't you think?

It should be the story of a showdown between two top-notch chain fighters to decide which one is the best. And it should sound like Harvey Scales' Hot Foot: A Funque Dizco Opera.
