Page "Concept album" Paragraph 12

Concept albums are considered de rigueur in the progressive rock genre of the 1970s.

Pink Floyd recast itself from its 1960s guise as a psychedelic band into a commercial success with its series of concept albums, most famously with The Dark Side of the Moon ( which, according to the RIAA, is the second best selling album in history ) and later with the double album rock opera The Wall.
