A list that doesn’t completely suck
Earth’s Coolest Concept Albums, Decided By You
We recently celebrated the 37th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon by calling it the greatest concept album ever. A no-brainer, judging by the hundred-plus comments we received from Wired.com readers.
But our readership also had several scintillating sonic choices of its own to add to Pink Floyd’s unanimous classic. Some of them perhaps weren’t, by standard definition, concept albums proper. But who cares? From Jethro Tull to Tool, all of them tickle the lobes. Read ’em and freak.
Normally when I see a list like this, I end up questioning the tastes of the internet’s inhabitants. In this case, albums and artists which are on my iPod can be found on this list (and a few which I hope to eventually have someday).

One interesting aspect of The Large Hadron Collider is that a simple typo can lead to more hits on a web site.
Large Hadron Collider has produced record-breaking high-energy particle collisions
Cern LHC sees high-energy success
Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has produced record-breaking high-energy particle collisions.
Scientists working on the European machine have smashed beams of protons together at energies that are 3.5 times higher than previously achieved.Tuesday’s milestone marks the beginning of work that could lead to the discovery of fundamental new physics.
There was cheering and applause in the LHC control room as the first collisions were confirmed.
These seven-trillion-electronvolt (TeV) collisions have initiated 18-24 months of intensive investigations at the LHC.
Scientists hope the studies will bring novel insights into the nature of the cosmos and how it came into being.
Many of them have described Tuesday’s event as the beginning of a “new era in science”. But researchers caution that the data gathered from the sub-atomic impacts will take time to evaluate, and the public should not expect immediate results.
Major discoveries will happen only when we are able to collect billions of events and identify among them the very rare events that could present a new state of matter or new particles,” said Guido Tonelli, a spokesman for the CMS detector at the LHC.
