in The bottom bracket
I’ll start off with Thingfish by the late great Frank Zappa. Full of galoot cologne and mammy nuns. Great stuff!!

    Setting Sons by The Jam, includes my favourite Jam track Wasteland, always worth a run through of those lyrics...

    Meet me on the wastelands - later this day
    We'll sit and talk and hold hands maybe
    For there's not much else to do in this drab and colorless place
    We'll sit amongst the rubber tires
    Amongst the discarded bric-a-brac
    People have no use for - amongst the smoldering embers of yesterday
    And when or if the sun shines
    Lighting our once beautiful features
    We'll smile but only for seconds
    For to be caught smiling is to acknowledge life
    A brave but useless show of compassion
    And that is forbidden in this drab and colorless world
    Meet me on the wastelands - the ones behind
    The old houses - the ones - left standing pre-war
    The ones overshadowed by the monolith monstrosities
    Councils call homes
    And there amongst the shit - the dirty linen
    The holy Coca-Cola tins -…

    I saw The Jam in Shepton Mallet on a school trip, when school trips were school trips.

    Much as I like The Jam, did they do concept albums? I thought that was more of a prog thing on the whole.
    Too Old to Rock & Roll by Jethro Tull was a good one
    Kinesis Pro6
    Marin Nail Trail
    Cotic Solaris

    Weller's original vision for Setting Sons was of a concept album that followed the lives of three boyhood friends who grow up and apart after a war deflects their life trajectories.
