Ok, imagine a WAD based on a single album, where every song for each level is a track. The wad shares thematic consistencies with the album of choice.
I had this idea when I was playing Stroggman's tundra listening to The Downward Spiral. What album do you think would go good with a Doom wad?

I like the idea and think "Dark Side of the Moon" would be a good fit, as long as there's a fitting texture set to go with it. I have a midi for "Time" that I always wanted to use for something. Not sure what other albums - maybe you could make a hell themed set based on a Slayer album or something but nothing else really comes to mind at the moment.
It might be a bit tricky though since we'd have to find albums mainstream enough to have midis for every track, something that lends itself to a consistent texture set and something with just the right amount of tracks so that we don't end up skipping tracks or having more mappers than map slots.

Disturbed Believe album has midis for each track, maps could be themed around various religious sites.
