What are some rock albums that are as complex as classical simphonies?

why did you even post it

Rock is supossed to be easy and simple to perform so the answer is no.

excluding prog rock for obvious reasons:

unironically Trout Mask Replica, the rhythmic variety and instrumental "dueling" is on par with plenty of contemporary classical orchestral pieces; once you realize that every note is being played as written, and that there is little to no improvisation over the course of the hour and fifteen minutes of the album, you'll be much more impressed by the virtuosity of writing and performing on display
Spiderland, while sonically sparse, is very harmonically dense; in fact, anything with Albini's grimy fingers in it usually has some pretty cool stuff going on under the hood

Rock can't be as complex as classical music
It can only imitate it

sic bait thread

Remain In Light
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Trout Mask Replica
Tubular Bells
Hybrid Theory
Ommadawn

None of them. Even a lot of art rock and progressive rock is much, MUCH simpler than you think it is, especially compared to classical music.

Ok then. What are some jazz albums that are as complex as classical music? Or is jazz also simpler than it?

For the most of it jazz doesn't reach it. But it has been coming close with:

Anthony Braxton's stuff. 3 Compositions Of New Jazz, For Alto, and 9 Compositions (Iridium) are the ones to see from him.

Most of John Zorn's stuff is kinda whacky, but his group Electric Masada goes next level with how dense everything sounds. Their record At The Mountains Of Madness is a great example of this.

Henry Threadgill's In For A Penny, In For A Pound won a Pulitzer last year. It's very busy, layered, and complex stuff.

Nothing on the level of the most ambitious stuff in classical, but there's good attempts here though that are definitely worth listening.
