ITT: Albums that would've been ideal to adapt into animated movies.
>In the album's post-apocalyptic world, pollution is so bad that the populace are forced to wear Lifesuits, suits that simulate all experiences in a way that no one would have to leave home. The suits are plugged into a huge mainframe called the Grid, similar to today's Internet, controlled by a man named Jumbo. [Behind Blue Eyes]
>The story begins when Ray and Sally, potato farmers in Scotland, hear of a futuristic rock concert called Lifehouse occurring in London. Their daughter, Mary, runs away to join the concert, and Ray and Sally ("Sally take my hand, we'll travel south 'cross land") decide to follow her there on a road trip. [Baba O'Riley, Going Mobile, Love Ain't for Keeping] Bobby, the creator of Lifehouse, is a hacker who broadcasts pirate radio signals for his concert, where the participants' personal data is taken from them and converted into song form. [Pure and Easy, Getting in Tune] Mary meets up with Bobby and they develop a close relationship. [Bargain]
>At the climax of the album, the authorities have surrounded the Lifehouse [Won't Get Fooled Again], then the perfect "One Note" rings forth through the combination of everybody's songs. The police storm the place, only to find everybody has disappeared through a sort of musical nirvana. [The Song Is Over]
Preferably directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, or the Animatrix guys.
I would say that most, if not all, Daft Punk albums could be. Such as the "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" and the Discovery album. The Tron: Legacy soundtrack was great, and the Tron: Uprising album was inspired by it, obviously.

Most of Clutch's discography, but Psychic Warfare in particular. There's already a couple comics-of-sorts in the album liners for some of the albums, IIRC, or maybe it was just Firebirds, I don't remember. >cheesy sci-fi shout outs, ancient mythology, roaring Pontiacs, lyrical prowess that simultaneously never takes itself fully seriously and rhymes stuff you'd never think of, and the frontman admitting he keeps accidentally writing songs about how much he wanted a big titty goth gf as a young man It's everything I'd want in a comic.
There's only one song on this album I'd like to see animated, a 20 minute mini rock opera, The Adventures of Greggery Peccary. It's about a tiny pig who works for a business that manufactures trends, and he invents the calendar. youtube.com/watch?v=8I4s9uZUUlU
I honestly could only see John K capturing its essence.
Quadrophenia or Tommy would have been better choices, even though they already have (live action) movies.
What even is the legal status of Protomen in regards to Capcom? I feel like Capcom is seemingly fine with it given that their semi-obscure, but would they try to butt in if their was an adaptation?

sucks that it's so short but it could still work as like an artsy 45 minute special
