Gemini need a good story to keep them interested. That’s why when it comes to music, we will sit and listen to a full album, especially if that album is focused on a story. So when it comes to concept albums, you don’t care if it makes you a hipster — you usually love them.
It’s no surprise, then, that some of the most iconic concept albums were created at least in part by Gemini: Brian Wilson with The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” Paul McCartney with The Beatles’ “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” and, of course, Stevie Nicks with Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumors” (via Far Out Magazine).
Therefore, when it comes to adding new albums to our collections, Gemini can be pretty picky. That’s why you’ll want to check out Kendrick Lamar’s “good kid, m.A.A.d city” and The Mountain Goats’ “All Hail West Texas,” both named by the Chicago Tribune as some of the best storytelling albums to listen to if you loved Taylor Swift’s “folklore.”
For the musical theater-loving Gemini, Green Day’s “American Idiot,” either their version or the Broadway Musical Cast version, is another must-listen.
