kinda cool. I like history and the natural progression of it all. leaving the past behind while having a secret love grip on it.

Other bands had concept albums before them, the tracklisting even during Beatles was determined by record company contracts and business models NOT necessarily as something artistic, same things with singles they are part of record company plans not necessarily any kind of artistic showcase. Maybe you could say the Beatles manipulated these record company strategies to their own artistic advantage but frankly your're going to have to include some better evidence of this like interviews or quotes from the artists directly saying that yes, their tracklisting and singles were something more significant than "just business"
