Ever heard the Vanilla Fudge album "The Beat Goes On"? It's a concept album about the history of the world using a Sonny Bono tune as it's main theme. Truly on of the most wretchedly horrible albums ever released. They also massacre Beethoveen, the Beatles, and others.
A much better cover-oriented concept album is William Shatner's opus "The Transformed Man." Beside the Dylan and Beatles tunes you've probably already heard, there's also tunes made famous by Sinatra and Jobim, as well as Shakespeare set to music. It's a classic!
