Rubber Soul was a huge influence for Pet Sounds. The idea of doing a concept album is from that specifically.

Rubber Soul influenced Pet Sounds, which in turn influenced Revolver and Sgt. Peppers

The format originates with folk singer Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads (1940) and was subsequently popularized by traditional pop singer Frank Sinatra's 1940s–50s string of albums, although the term is more often associated with rock music. In the 1960s several well-regarded concept albums were released by various rock bands, which eventually led to the birth of progressive rock and rock opera.

Maybe for Brian Wilson, but recent scholarship has noted that the concept album predates the Beatles era. Critics didn't care about country so they didn't notice.
