Oh, and- Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots; Hard to describe why this one is great. The first half is the titular story of robot-fighting Yoshimi, and is immensely charming. The second half is what really does it for me, serving as an emotional come-down from the intensity of the first. The sheer genuineness of feeling in "Do You Realize" manages to overcome all the product tie-ins and shameless plugs the song's been used in to make me start tearing up every time.
The Protomen - The Protomen; A concept album about the video game "Megaman". But it's not just that. It's a howling, crashing metal opera about freedom, death, regret, revenge, duty, and betrayal. Every word, every screaming phrase is soaked with meaning and emotion. The production is pitch-perfect. Epic.
