Queensryche is an amazing band known for making rock opera style albums that tell a cohesive story (Opearation Mindcrime), or songs that are more like short stories.

Megadeth is also a fantastic group, but their best album, Rust in Peace, doesn't drop until 1990.

Other great bands, but watch out for explicit lyrics: Guns N Roses, Skid Row, Winger, Cinderella, Dokken, White Lion, Bon Jovi, Metallica, AC/DC, Dio, Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne, Heart, and Def Leppard.

Thanks so much. Will definitely look into Queensryche, as he loves the Who's Tommy, and Bowie's Ziggy stardust and Alladinsane. I do have to be careful with explicit lyrics. He loves GnR, Metallica, Ozzy and AC/DC.

GnR are the worst offenders. Skid Row has some pretty strong language as well. Def Leppard has thinly veiled sexual innuendo. Kiss is another band that does the same thing, but much of their albums from the 80s are mostly safe.
