| The Wall is the only one I'm familiar with. Bowie and The Who are kinda blah to me. | |

| I have never heard The Wall described as a "rock opera" before. | |

| I went with Pink too. I like Bowie, but the Who never much appealed to me. Too much radio play burned me out. | |

| If you had asked me this question in 1988 or so, it would have been The Wall easily. But the older I get the less I like that album. In fact there's only a few songs I can still listen to from that album.
The last Floyd album I actually "loved" was Animals. | |

The last Floyd album I actually "loved" was Animals. Same here. Although of the three offered, I'd take Floyd. I think The Wall is overrated though. I like Animals, Dark Side and Wish You Were Here better. | |

| None of'em really... if I want a rock opera I'll grab Savatage's THE WAKE OF MAGELLAN or STREETS.... But of the ones offered, I'll go with THE WALL...I passed many a stoned evening in college watching that one on bootleg video with my buds back in the day...  | |

| Of course if we're talking "concept albums" from British bands, we're missing quite a few.
King Crimson - Lizard
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
The Who - Quadrophenia
I know there are more. | |
