Prog Lists 10 Key 1990s Concept Albums

In 2018, Prog magazine published a list containing 10 key concept albums from the 1990s. Roger Waters' Amused To Death dealt with mass media entertainment through themes of war, politicians, and religion. Radiohead's track Paranoid Android stood out as the most prominent progressive number one single of the 1990s.

Porcupine Tree's Voyage 34 was initially a 30-minute two-part single before added remixes brought its running time to over an hour. Fates Warning's A Pleasant Shade Of Grey was composed as a single 54-minute track made up of 12 untitled sections.

The title of Camel's album Harbour Of Tears came from Cobh Port in County Cork, where many emigrants left during the 1800s and 1900s. Mansun's debut became a partial concept album after singer Paul Draper abandoned an imaginary superhero story, while Pain Of Salvation's debut album Entropia focused on a war-torn family in a fictional world of the same name.
