Lefty was drunk and down on his luck and Alice had left him, and the President of ABC records wanted to have a country star on the ABC label.
So they went to Lefty’s home, got him sober, had the best writers and pickers and backup singers on Music Row compose The Legendary Lefty Frizzell.
It was not only the greatest classic twang album, it was the genre’s dead last.
If you love I Never Go Around Mirrors, this is where it came from.
The Classic Style of Lefty Frizzell was released after Lefty drank his demons all away. Also highly recommended.

1980’s Sandinista thumbs up. Good pick! I listened to it recently and it’s much better than I remembered. However, for a whole (triple) album, start to finish, you’re in for a long ride. Better have plenty of tobacco at hand. I have the original issue vinyl picking it up when it was released. That, and 1979’s London Calling. If you had those two, then, poof, magically you had five LPs from The Clash! And arguably their best. Combat Rock okay, but, you know, all M-TV video and marketing. To each his own.

Favorite track We Were Never Alive.
My all time favorite is album is
This was my very first album I purchased when I was 9 or 10. (1969?). Brings back great memories of me listening to it over and over in my bedroom.

Allman Bros: Eat A Peach
Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto: Getz/Gilberto I still love Bossa Nova
Rolling Stones: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out. Good raw rock n roll, best version of Sympathy for the Devil there is.
Robert Plant/Allison Krauss: Raise The Roof 2 Masters perfect combo.
And of course Led Zeppelin 1-4 everything after that is not Led Zeppelin.

Not an album, but an EP.
Principium by the Acadian Wild is awesome. It's made to be listened to from start to finish. The last song ends with a nice tie in to the first song.

Hotel California comes to mind. Grease soundtrack. Mary Poppins soundtrack. Bat Out Of Hell. Dark Side of Moon. Wish You were Here...
I think soundtracks is a first for this thread, maybe, and funny you mention Grease. It’s about the cheesiest album that I will still put on. Ha ha. But, it is really good cheese. You can hear everyone’s eyes roll when I play it.
In the spring of 1969 while doing my hippie thing in NYC, I happened across a band setting up at the bottom of the hill I was on in Central Park. It turned out to be this band and they played pretty much the entire album.
I knew nothing of the band at the time, only that at first I was skeptical. They looked like a bunch of poofy rock n roll posers cashing in on glitz and volume. I soon became disabused.
I thought of a couple of other albums.
The Blues Brothers
Phoebe Snow
Merle Haggard Live @ Billy Bob's (I've seen Merle and his band!)
I have to add another. I can’t believe I missed this one! Not exactly a concept album but, damn me if I haven’t listened to it all the way through 1,000 times! Bobby Bare - Drunk and Crazy!
Band of Horses -- Why are you OK
My Morning Jacket -- Tennessee Fire
The Shins -- Wincing the night away
