Well, other than Phantom of the Opera:
Green Day - American Idiot
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Fear Factory - Obsolete
Tool - Aenima
My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
This thread makes me wish I owned more entire CDs, as opposed to individual songs.

Using musicals to answer to the question is not what I was going for anyway. Yes, of course Phantom's awesome (and so is Les Mis, RENT, Rocky Horror, Miss Saigon, etc.), but I think it's sort of obvious that the songs of a musical would be linked together because they're telling a definitive story, so that wasn't really what I was going for. Ditto for symphonies, Rouge.
PS: Crap, Joe, I just read your list and you put up some of the ones I forgot! Rock on!
PPS: Chmee, I don't know why by 'Try Anything Once' just flows better to me. Maybe it's just that I like it more and feel how the songs connect--having 'Jigue' and the reprise of that with 'Re-jigue' helps with that, plus 'Siren Song' slides beautifully into 'Dreamscape' making it sound seamless to me.

Some stuff where I like all the songs, are:

- Bon Jovi - albums from Slippery When Wet through to the Young Guns II soundtrack
- The first four albums by Dio
- Survivor - Eye of the Tiger.
- Lots of stuff from Phil Collins
- The Queen album that has I Want It All and [/i]Invisible Man[/i] on it
- One album (can't remember the name) by Poison, had some great songs like Fallen Angel and Look But You Can't Touch (damn, but I love that one!)

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

Life is all the eternity you get, use it wisely.
"A Voyage in to Trance" by Paul Oakenfold (actually a collection of remixes). I'm a sucker for techno and well, this actually is meant to all go as one big song. It all was mixed to flow seamlessly together (for example, all the songs got the same tempo, little on the repetitive side but that's what you expect no?)
Firestarter just came on, and reminded me about how cool an album The Fat of the Land is by Prodigy. So yes, I'd like to add that and Music for the Jilted Generation.

Z already got my Floyd submissions so I'll go with
Gamehenge by Phish, because it literally IS a story part music part song that goes for about 50 minutes. Its the biggest mp3 I have.
The story of Col. Forbin as he makes his way through the land of Gamehenge, eventually encountering the evil Wilson, who has taken the Helping Friendly Book from the Lizards, and virtually enslaved them, creating a city called Prussia.
EDIT:
I'll also add in "Borders and Boundaries" as well as "Anthem" by Less than JAke, AND Unleashed Memories by Lacuna Coil.

Electric Light Orchestra- Time On this 1981 concept album about a man who time travels into the future, the '"classic" ELO sound takes a 180 and ditches the late 70's disco inspired sound in favor of synthesizers and vocoders. This was the first ELO album I ever bought and my favorite album of theirs to boot!
