The greatest concept album ever made is Frank Sinatra's "Where Are You?" →[More:]He'd just left Eva Gardner. It was 1957 and Frank saw that times were changing. He ditched Nelson Riddle, and he recorded in stereo for the first time. All this "ugly music" was boiling up, his fans were ageing, and Frank was scared. The result is the first "concept album". It's a melancholy record that shows Frank at his best: romantic, ebullient, introspective, EATING the fucking microphone. I double-dog-dare anyone to find a song more wistful than "Autumn Leaves". Frank rules. That is all.
