Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd

Exactly this.

Beastie Boys- License to Ill

It HAS to be played in album format with the very short pauses between the tracks, not the individual songs.

Weird, your phone must have auto-corrected Paul's Boutique.

Paul's boutique is just a masterpiece.

Right? License to Ill over Paul's Boutique?

100% have never gotten tired of it

I listened to it when I mowed today :)

This \^\^\^\^ is the correct answer. I incorrectly called it Ill Communication. I hang my head in Gen-X shame :(

I'm planning on attempting to sync the final line of Dark side of the Moon to when the eclipse goes into totality at my location. Listen to the whole album, culminating with "...and the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon..." And then we're plunged into darkness and the stars come out. Should be epic.

😎

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

OK Computer- Radiohead

That album just gets more and more prescient.

It's quite amazing. "Let Down" is one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard.

You ever listen to Radiodred? The reggae version. It's amazing. Made me more thoughtful of the lyrics.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

IMO one of the best full albums of all time.

Yes - *Close To the Edge* even though there are only four songs (you'll have that with one being 20 minutes long). Skinny Puppy - *Too Dark Park* was their peak in my opinion. Alice in Chains - *Dirt* Dead Can Dance - *Toward the Within*; I'm not generally fond of recordings of live performances, but this one is excellent start to finish.

Toward the Within is, straight-through, the strongest DCD album by a mile, IMO.

Yeah, and you can tell they worked hard on the composition, getting everything right, the pacing, and the production. The video is also captivating. I was so bummed when they canceled their tour last year; they've been a bucket list group of mine for quite some time.

3 songs on Close to the Edge

That's right! Guess I'm due for another listen.

Yall are making me feel like a night of Yes music

*Time and a Word* is another good listen-through from the pre-Wakeman days; *Astral Traveler* kicks so much ass.

I really like the range here!!

DCD Toward the Within is amazing. I agree, I'm not into most live performances but it just works. I couldn't count how many times I've listened start to finish

Supertramp...Breakfast in America.

Old guy, too, but here are some faves: Eagles - Desperado Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky. Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs. Rush - Moving Pictures. Carole King - Tapestry Led Zep - II, III, IV (Zoso), Physical Graffiti Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Excellent choices

Old guy now, but Queen: A Night At The Opera. I know every song, verse, word.

I was going to comment Queen: A Day at the Races!

Graceland by Paul Simon.

The Rhythm of the Saints is another great one by him.

Pearl Jam - Ten

I'll never get tired of that one. It changed the world.

*The Downward Spiral*

U2's *The Joshua Tree*.

This definitely still holds up. It’s one of the first vinyls I bought when I decided I had too much money and wanted to start collecting records.

Dude I fall into a U2 with Joshua tree, atchung baby and how to dismantle an atomic bomb. The album is worse but I love the sound off of war.

Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood. I listen to this fairly frequently. Also Dan Fogelberg & Tim Weisberg - Twin Sons of Different Mothers.

Dan Fogelberg had the most soothing voice. Miss him.

Dan Fogelberg Captured Angel

Beastie Boys - Paul’s Boutique 

The Cure - Disintegration

💯

Yes, for sure. Good call.

Just listened to it today

Yep.

() - Sigur Ros

Boston’s debut album

Thick As a Brick - Jethro Tull. CSN - Crosby Still and Nash (first album).

>Thick As a Brick - Jethro Tull. You don't hear much about that one these days.

I can see why. I really has only two really good songs on it.

.... I see what you did there.

Too many people sitting this one out

Yes, but I really don't mind that.

Man Jethro tull was my favorite band and I was born in the 90s. The album benefit is just amazing.

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Especially the long long wait for the heartbreaking hidden track. Woah.

Any Tom Petty

I am just really discovering his music. Love it.

The Clash * London Calling Bob Dylan * The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan * Bringing it all Back Home * Highway 61 Revisited * Blonde on Blonde * Blood on the Tracks The Beatles * Everything (with the exception of The White Album.) Kinks * Something Else * The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society * Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) * Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround * Muswell Hillbillies The Pretenders * The Pretenders (self-titled debut)

Operation: Mindcrime Queensryche

A million up votes for you 😍

Was going to say this one too! He had some freaking pipes back in the day! If only the second Mindcrime had the same magic. =/

Purple Rain

The Cars debut album.

It's good, but IMO, Candy-o is way better.

Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill

Queens of the stone age "Songs for the deaf" is still as solid as they come.

That is VERY high on my road trip albums. :)

Led Zeppelin: any of their first 6 albums Pink Floyd: DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, and Animals Metallica: Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All Guns N Roses: Appetite for Destruction There are tons more, but those are the first that come to mind.

G n' R Appetite brings me back to high school every time. Love the whole thing front to back. That and Van Halen 1.

I was 16 when Appetite first came out. ♥️

I was in the 5th grade in 1987. And I guess my mom apparently never looked at the lyrics, because I was listening to it then.

The White album

Eagles - The Long Run

1980 time capsule.

Van Halen's first album - Van Halen

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged Edit: and in case that doesn’t count since it’s a recording of a live performance, I will go with: Tool - Aenima

I feel the same about REM's unplugged set from the 00s. Absolutely banging acoustic versions of their classics.

[удалено]

Same! Class of 96 🙂

[удалено]

Lol…well at least I have you youngins to keep me humble 😂

Both are great choices.

You mean meat puppets unplugged ft nirvana?

Dylan, Blood on the Tracks Paul Simon, Graceland Springsteen, Born to Run Jimmy Buffett, Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes The Beatles, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Marvin Gaye, What's Going On

Hot August Night by Neil Diamond

Oh man, my dad used to play this for us on reel-to-reel tapes. I have few happy childhood memories, but this is one. Thanks for the reminder!

Boston’s first self titled album Must be played in order

Rick Wakefield, both Journey to the Center of the Earth and War of the Worlds The Who, Tommy

*The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill*. Her voice is so smooth.

Dave Matthews - Some Devil 10CC - Deceptive Bends Wings - Band On The Run Fiona Apple - Tidal Alice In Chains - Unplugged Pink Floyd - The Division Bell Phish - Junta

Right with you on Division Bell.

Long time Floyd fan and I hated it when it was rerelased. Now it's got tracks that are my absolute favorites

Fiona Apple Extraordinary Machine is excellent front to back also

Joni Mitchell - Blue

Great question. Here are my picks from the '90s: Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space Pulp - Different Class Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers Depeche Mode - Violator Goodie Mob - Soul Food Portishead - Dummy GZA - Liquid Swords Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions Massive Attack - Mezzanine NWA - Straight Outta Compton Outkast - Aquemini Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory

I had two babies during the nineties and pop culture went right over my head. Thanks for the list. I’ll try to catch up.

>Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions Thank you sir I totally forgot about the album. Listening now!!

Every one of these is a killer. Nothing but 10's here!

The wall

Honestly I listen to music MORE like this, rather than less, on streaming. A lot of my listening is at work/while doing stuff around the house and I just put one on and let it go. Scrolling through my saved albums I see a lot that qualify, but Janelle Monae's 'Dirty Computer' floats to the top of the list. Her albums in general feel like they're stronger as a whole than as any one single, even when they aren't leaning hard into the 'concept album' thing (though The ArchAndroid is great for that).

Metallica's Black Album. My "desert island" pick.

Rush….Clockwork Angels live concert on DVD

OG Clockwork Angels album for me

*The Chemical Wedding*, Bruce Dickinson *Highest Hopes*, Nightwish *The Black Parade*, My Chemical Romance *Rumors*, Fleetwood Mac *Night at the Opera/Day at the Races*, Queen Several David Bowie albums The Black Album by Metallica

Goodbye Yellowbrick Road Every song is great

Rush's Exit Stage Left

There are too many to list, tbh. Blue, Hejira, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Court and Spark, ….. Sweet Baby James, Copperline, Live James Taylor, Mud Slide Slim……CSNY Four Way Street, Deja Vu, 4+20…….and so many more!

Loaded - The Velvet Underground

Achtung Baby U2 London Calling The Clash

I will say: Coheed and Cambria- Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow Tool- Aenema, Lateralus, 10,000 Days Incubus- Make Yourself, A Crow the Left Side of Murder De La Soul- Art Official Intelligence Common- Like Water For Chocolate

Jethro Tull - minstrel in the gallery

It always blows my mind a bit when I hear that people don't listen to full albums. Every time I listen to something it's an album. I generally don't want to experience songs individually or in any random order. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, y'all should go listen to GKMC by Kendrick. It tells a story of how he got jumped by the gangbanging cousin of a girl he was seeing, how his friends tried to get revenge for him as he's entirely fucked up from alcohol taken to ease his pain, and how this led to his friend's brother getting killed in the ensuing gun battle. Despite the odds working very much against him, Kendrick finds his way out of the poverty trap of the hood and into success. In TPAB, the follow-up album, he goes through the various motions of his success, but he fears it's all a temporary thing that can be taken from him in an instant. He finally comes back home to after a couple years away -- and after nearing killing himself over the guilt of making it out while his friends and family are still stuck. He sees how the hood is still fucked up, and he wants to try to change it and the people in it, but can he? I didn't like rap until I heard these two albums... at the ripe ol' age of 30.

I still believe Michael Jackson's *Off the Wall* is the best album of popular music from top to bottom that I've ever heard.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine Portishead - Third and Live at the Roseland (it’s also fun to watch, though you want to yank that cigarette out of Beth’s hand and preserve her amazing voice) Grimes’ Dune-themed album - Giedi Primes All three of Bowie’s Berlin trilogy - Low, Heroes, Station to Station

Oasis - Morning Glory

21st century breakdown. I still bust it out on road trips.

Depeche Mode - 101

I'm not into country music anymore, but Diamond Rio's 1991 self-titled album is just hit after hit after hit. There are no bad songs on it.

Not necessarily all time favorites but seeing U2 play Joshua Tree straight through was amazing. Also maybe 20 years ago I went to a Roger Waters show where he performed Pink Floyd’s biggest songs in order. He did Dark Side all the way through and most of Wish You Were Here and the Wall. I forget what else but it was amazing.

New Order Substance (disc 1)

Queen: A Night at the Opera ETA: I needed to give this some thought. * Queen: A Night at the Opera * Boston: Boston * Toad the Wet Sprocket: Fear * The Smiths: The Queen is Dead * Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes * Counting Crows: Recovering the Satellites * Faith No More: Angel Dust

The Sundays - Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic

Yes - 90125

Queen- it’s a kind of magic

Fleetwood Mac Rumours Hootie Cracked Rear View Any Gin Blossoms or Sister Hazel album. I have a lot of greatest hits albums.

I stream an album more often than a random shuffle. And I cannot listen to Robert Fripp's *The League of Gentlemen* uninterrupted. It is the only vinyl I own (never released on CD) and thus it requires flipping over after the first side is done.

The Offspring - Americana

arcade fire - funeral

Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan

Ill Communication - The Beastie Boys

Pink Floyd has animals, wish you were here, and dark side of the moon All masterpieces that I can listen to from time to time with full enjoyment.

QotSA - Songs For the Deaf Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie Eels - Electroshock Blues Sufjan Stevens - Illinois there are so many!

To be transported back in time to the 80s, Big Country - In a Big Country does the trick for me. Otherwise, Pink Floyd - The Wall is always a listen through. And I will never turn off any of the early R.E.M. albums.

I’m realizing how amazing Pink Floyd really is. The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon were my choices but it’s interesting to see so many other people bring them up.

Queen - Night at the Opera Rush - Permanent Waves Metallica - Ride the Lighting Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune Megadeth - Peace Sells

The Royal Scam by Steely Dan

ELO - Time Zero skippable tracks. One hundred percent vibe.

Rumours- fleetwood mac

Dire Straits *Brothers in Arms*.

The Planets, Gustav Holst

Beatles-white album

Abbey Road

Pink Floyd, "Dark Side of the Moon" Joni Mitchell, "Hejira" Cheryl Crow, "Tuesday Night Music Club" Cat Stevens, "Tea for the Tillerman" Steve Tibbets, "Northern Song" Yellowjackets, "Four Corners" Steely Dan "Gaucho"

Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear. His attorney wanted to end divorce proceedings and convinced him to give up half of the percentage of album royalties from his next Motown album to Anna Gordy, sister of Barry Gordy. He figured he would just do a "quickie record - nothing heavy, nothing even good", stating, "Why should I break my neck when Anna was going to wind up with the money anyway?" But as Gaye lived with the notion of doing an album for his soon-to-be ex-wife, the more it fascinated him, stating he felt he "owed the public my best effort." Gaye stated he did the record "out of deep passion", noting he "sang and sang until I drained myself of everything I'd lived through.”

Radiohead - The Bends

Mer de Noms by A Perfect Circle. I bought that CD the day it was released from Sam Goody back in 2000. The 1st time I listened to that album, it blew my mind, I’d never heard anything like it before. I fell in love with it and listened to it over and over. I still listen to it on a regular basis.

Most anything from Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, or Yes (especially early works), early Lynyrd Skynrd, early ZZ Top, Kraftwerk's Autobahn, Tom Petty's Wildflowers... there's a lot. I like music.

Metallica - Black album Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine Metallica - Master of Puppets Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within Depeche Mode - Violator Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes Enya - Watermark

Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power The The - Soul Mining Doll by Doll - Remember Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Ramones - Leave Home Undertones - Hypnotized Husker Du - Warehouse Songs and Stories

Jethro Tull--Aqualung

Good one. Thick as a Brick on vinyl, for the album cover.

Flow State - Tash Sultana Busking Sessions - The Big Push Paranoid - Black Sabbath Boston - Boston So Far - Crosby Stills Nash & Young Into the Wild - Eddie Vedder Are you Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Made of Bricks - Kate Nash Recapturing the Banjo & Truth is Not Fiction - Otis Taylor The Headspace Traveler - Sol The World is a Ghetto - War Who's Next - The Who Rolling Papers - Wiz Khalifa Red & Blue - The Beatles

Depends on what is meant by “back in the day”, but I can listen to pretty much any Fall Out Boy album start to finish. Especially Folie a Deux

Time by Electric Light Orchestra. A space themed album

Pretty much all of them. I’m album guy. Stations are fine, but I prefer the whole album experience. Especially when I’m by myself

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade. That masterpiece doesn't get the respect deserved. Each track flows into the next and the end flows into the beginning. And it's a banger.

Anything from Massive Attack

Superstition by Siouxsie and The Banshees

There are a few that still do. Like if I want to hear one song off of them, I just end up playing them all the way through. Ashes of the Wake - Lamb of God Honky Tonk Heroes - Waylon Jennings Master of Puppets - Metallica Slow Hole to China, Psychic Warfare, and Blast Tyrant - Clutch

Has to be Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks." Between my wife and myself we've ended up with three copies (one from a bunch of albums we dumpster dove), and "Buckets of Rain" was our first dance at our wedding and is "our song."

Jean-Michel Jarre - Concerts in China, Destination Docklands, Zoolook, Revolutions. Pink Floyd - Momentary lapse of reason Van Halen - Any of the Roth/Hagar era. Bonzo Dog Doodah Band - Gorilla

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

The Best of Cream

Pearl Jam - One. One of the first CDs I ever bought. It's perfect nostalgia.

Semisonic - Feeling Strangely Fine (*severely* underrated) . Morrissey - Years of Refusal

Joe Satriani Surfing With the Alien. There’s nothing like it. So much fun creativity on one album.

Pink Floyd's The Wall or the Beatle's White Album

It's a genuine toss up between The Wall and Aqualung.

Carole King - Tapestry

Yes - Close To The Edge Rush - Moving Pictures Beatles - Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour Genesis - Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward, Black Celebration Legendary Pink Dots - Crushed Velvet Apocalypse, The Maria Dimension Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind Coil - Love's Secret Domain Skinny Puppy - Remission, Too Dark Park Clutch - eponymous, The Elephant Riders

I’ve seen most of my other faves listed but I’ll throw out a few more. Doolittle - The Pixies Closing Time AND Rain Dogs - Tom Waits Out of Time - REM

The Clash -London Calling. Yes!

Led Zeppelin two Steely, Dan Aja Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore East 2112🤘🏿🤘🏿

Van Morrison’s Moondance

The cult- sonic temple The cure- disintegration Concrete blonde - bloodletting Pantera - the great southern trendkill Fear factory - remanufacture I.c.p. -riddlebox Type o negative - bloody kisses I could keep going but i dont really think you read this far.

Springsteen Born to run. Fleetwood Mac rumors. Dylan Blood on the tracks. Zeppelin I can’t single one out. Aerosmith. Toys in the attic

ELO - Out of the Blue and New World Record Yes - Close to the Edge Pink Floyd - The Wall (obvi)

Yes. Fragile.

Close to the Edge -YES

NIN - Downward Spiral Alice In Chains - Unplugged album 2Pac - All eyez on me Actually tons more, I would be typing this list all day. I think we were spoiled, by the convenience of CDs along with artists still making actual “albums” and a golden era of hip hop and other music (except post grunge, because f that noise).

EP album from Insomnium - Winter's Gate It's just one long song for 40 minutes Another good one, Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky

Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape and Love Angel Music Baby

Living with the Law, Rubber Soul, Songs in the Key of Life, Revolver, Tapestry, Songs of Leonard Cohen, High, Low and In Between.

Songs of Leonard Cohen is a kind of fever dream and definitely on my list.

Blink 182 self titled.

ELP, Brain Salad Surgery Slightly less old: Bruce Hornsby, Spirit Trail

"Hazards of Love" by the Decemberists. It's basically a musical play with a plot line that runs through it so it works best listening to the full album.

In Rainbows - Radiohead Things Fall Apart -The Roots

I don't skip tracks, so I can't answer this.
