No fucking way, but you could add Gorillaz to your list. "Demon Days" and "Plastic Beach" are both great dystopian concept albums.

I'm thinking of just giving them a list of like 15-20 albums to pick from. We'll have Animals, 2112, Kid A, Deltron 3030, Diamond Dogs, Year Zero, and more for students to choose between.

Should ATUM be included in the list of options?
Year Zero yooooooooo

Kilroy Was Here, by Styx

Unconventional option here, but on the show Bob's Burgers, they had an episode where the dad was raving about a dystopian-future rock opera he listened to as a teen, and then the folks behind the show actually made it:



The episode "The Laser-inth" has the dad telling the story in broad strokes, and has some visuals as well

Also, Zappa's "Joe's Garage" if you want to get into trouble.

******* it in a separate category where anyone who actually chooses, makes it through and is able to study that shit (insinuating they'd have to listen to practically all of it repeatedly) gets an absolute guarantee of passing yer course w/ flying colors by the end of the term
