What's your favorite album. Not your favorite band or song, but album. I'm saying one that you can listen straight through without having to skip a song. Here are some of my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weezer- The Blue Album

 

 

 

Ben Folds- Ben Folds Live

 

 

 

ReeL Big Fish- Cheer Up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are some of yours?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love The Blue Album and Ben Folds, but I just like Rockin' the Suburbs and his new cd, Songs for Silverman..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keane - Hopes and Fears

 

 

 

:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yup.. Good..

 

 

 

GNR Greatest Hits is good too.. Led Zepplin's Early Days and Latter Days(I think) is also a good greatest hits album, except for I've only listened to the Early Days part so far =s

You have to be a little more specific; I pretty much listen to all albums without skipping. What is the point of the album if you skip; are your ideas so entrenched in pop culture where music is all about 1 hit singles? That's what makes an album an album, it is more then the hits. The only thing I really skip are large gaps of silence and up until the last few listens NIN-Closer (because I was sick of people singing/playing it and proclaiming it the best NIN song ever).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of my favorite albums are probably by David Bowie (only because I have most of his albums and they all sound great but then again most albums I have sound.).

Because, IMO, Dookie is the best Album Green Day has produced ;)

Vain Glory Opera-what?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure you don't mean "Burning Down The Opera"? They have an album called "Vain Glory Opera", but "Burning Down The Opera" is the only live album they got. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You disappoint me, Nadril... ack...

If you buy an album by a band you like that doesn't mean you have to like EVERY song on the album.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deep Purple - Made in Japan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yea baby, real sweet. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/me runs upstairs to grab CD. :D I'm aaaaaaaaa highway staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Led Zep's untitled 4th is really good indeed, I should get some more Zep albums, if I don't forget it, anybody got some to recomend?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Eminem Albums are real good too, I enjoy listening to them, my brother has them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien, I should get more, but I don't know which ones to buy first >.<

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the time I thought Usher's "8701" was a great album too, not really into him anymore, but I can still apreciate the album.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also liked Xzibit's albums "Restless" and "40 Dayz & 40 Nightz". One that I listned over and over again was Dr. Dre - Dr. Dre 2001. I should still buy it, I had a burned version and it got lost, and I should get the Chronic too. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there's sooo much more good stuff around, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Sgt. Pepers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, really amazing too. :wink:

Yes you don't have to like every song but there is no point in skipping songs as it ruins the flow of the album and is disruptive. I would rather let it slide then do something about it. But hey an opinion's an opinion.

Get his Electric Antholgy. Basically all his best tracks in a 2 disc compilation. The Extremist is good too, and check out Time Machine if you want a live album.

It's bright, and blue, and shimmering

Grinning wide

And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

I think i listen to pretty much every album i own all the way through, but here's a few off the top of my head:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deftones - Adrenaline

 

 

 

Zero 7 - When It Falls

 

 

 

A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms

 

 

 

Trivium - Ascendency

 

 

 

Sublime - Sublime

 

 

 

Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power

 

 

 

Alice In Chains - Facelift

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That'll do for now.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

I forgot to add Bob Dylan's "Desire". It's really good in my opinion. All the songs that are on it are little stories, and when I just lie down, close my eyes, I can just see everything happening. You got loads of stuff to fill a 3 hour movie, but it's all done in a song. And of course "Blonde on Blonde" by Dylan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks a lot for the Satriani recomendations, Dan! I'm going to check 'em out when I got money to spend on CD's again, and that would be July the sixth. Also, if you want, can you inform me about what's good from Steve Vai? He's instrumental-only too, right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe, I got that last week, is really amazing, there's so much humour in the album and instrumentals are real good too, in my opinion. I've been listening a lot to it the last week. I'm getting "Freak Out" next week, it wasn't in yet. And "Ahead of their Time" by Zappa and his Mothers of Invention, real good, the first part is more comedian, combined with some instrumentals, and the last part (starts at King Kong, if I'm correct) is basicaly music only, it's real good. If you like "weirder" compositions you should deffiniatly try it, if you havn't done that yet of course. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, most of us probably know of this site already, but I thought people who havn't heard of it might like it. I browse trough it sometimes when I don't have anything special to do. There's some real interesting stuff on their site: rockhall.com

Steve Vai's Passion and Warfare is my favorite from him, and yeah he's instrumental only.

 

 

 

Satch's newest album is also his best since Surfing with the Alien imo, its totally listenable all the way through, I must've gone through it at least 50 times.
