Top 10 Favourite Concept Albums (in no particular order :P)
Devin Townsend’s Z2 (or Ziltoid: Dark Matters)
Devin Townsend does it again with a new masterpiece, and as a worthy sequel to the previous “Ziltoid: The Omniscient”. Whether narrated or not, this album continues the story of that deliciously evil and charismatic Ziltoid and his adventures to acquire the most powerful power source in the universe: COFFEE!
Featuring recurring characters such as Captain Spectacular! and the Planet Smasher, while also introducing the lovely and dangerous War Princess: Queen Blattaria, and her army of Poozers, the latter of whom attempt to invade Earth and take all the coffee for themselves.
Can we trust Ziltoid to protect Earth, or will he betray us for his own purposes? Listen to the album and find out!
All in how you harmonize with your surroundings.
To be fair, I think Devin Townsend is the only person I know of who would bother jamming with an A.C. unit.

Here’s the string section for the chorus from the song Sumeria. I took the audio from a video Devin posted on youtube and cleaned up the excess noise.
