Familiar with "rock operas" ('Tommy', The Who), thematic musical projects (Alan Parsons Project / 'Tubular Bells', Mike Oldfield / 'Sgt. Pepper's', The Beatles / albums from Pink Floyd: Animals, Ummagumma, The Wall) and you like music from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Yes or EmersonLake&Palmer?
