Avantasia. All of it.
But especially the Scarecrow, everything before and after that sounds more like generic metal to me.

Also: Epica and The Black Halo by Kamelot are concept albums loosely based on Goethe's Faust.

This is also where I point out that most albums by one of my favorite bands, Opeth, stick to a theme throughout, so yeah. Concept albums.

All of the above lean more towards metal than rock, so if you don't like that it's a shame you can't enjoy those albums like I do.

^^ This. All of this, so hard.

Also Blind Guardians Nightfall in Middle Earth. Basically the Silmarillion in wonderous, rocking musical form.

EDIT; Also once again it appears that Wiki is your friend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concept_albums). Though that page covers all genres, not just metal and rock.

Aside from everything on this list (http://www.metal-archives.com/browseG.php?g=power), Led Zeppelin is a good choice.

Rock Paper Shotgun linked to this band a couple weeks ago and I think its pretty sweet. http://corporaterecords.co.uk/artists/Spoiler+Alert!/ Its a band from the UK that has songs about DC superheroes. Sadly there is only 3 tracks up there but they are pretty incredible (especially the Booster Gold one).

In Defense of the Genre by Say Anything is a fantastic album. It's a twenty-seven track album that boasts impressive songs the likes of which you're usually not lucky enough to see once on an album. It's a masterpiece to say the least.

Oh, also Thrice's alchemy index, volume 1-4 are 4 6-track albums based on the 4 "Classic" elements. Fire is angry and has generally heavier music, water is depressing/insightful with more electronic music, air is... well Air's depressing, with... airy? music. Earth is bluesy, and I really can't tell you what the songs have in common.
