[iknowyourider]

what albums do you play start to finish?


All of them. I have been doing it that way since about 1978 when I left home and bought my own house. White Album, Bold As Love, Rust Never Sleeps, Blood On The Tracks, Combat Rock, The Specials, EC Was Here, Layla, Working Man's Dead, Second Helping...

[Galley]

All of them - I ain't no "puddle jumper". ;)

[irmongoose]

I've recently been playing John Legend's Once Again over and over... a brilliant album, I'm amazed that I only recently discovered it, despite owning his first album for all these years.

Most of my Jazz albums I listen to straight through... the classics of course as The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and A Love Supreme really can't be heard on an À la carte basis.



irmongoose

[OutThere]

Breach - The Wallflowers and State Radio - Us Against the Crown seem to just fly by, the whole album at once. I've also been stuck on Brand New's 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me', which plays through nicely.

[hexonxonx]

Replicas - Gary Numan
Sacrifice - Gary Numan
Tommy - The Who


I'm sure I have more but these are the three most recent I've played.

[Killyp]

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours
Radiohead's In Rainbows
Leftfield's Leftism and Rhythm and Stealth
DJ Shadow's Endtroducing...
Coldcut's Sound Mirrors
Paul Simon's Graceland
Counting Crows' This Desert Life

There are plenty of other albums I listen to through, but these are just my favourites to do it with.

[millerj123]

I used to alphabetize my albums and listen to them in order.

Some just deserve to be listened to start to finish -
Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
Vangelis - Blade Runner
Enigma - any of them.

[Vivaldi]

Any recording of Bach's Musical Offering or Art of Fugue I generally listen to in full in one sitting. I also listen to recording's of Vivaldi's Op 3 fully, though listening to those in full are not as often than me listening to separate concerti.

Shostakovich symphonies I generally listen to in full as well, given that one of his symphonies usually occupy the entirety of a disc.

[Xfujinon]

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
Metallica: Ride the Lightning
Incubus: Science
The Grateful Dead: Skeletons in the Closet
Tool: Lateralus
Mozart: 24, 25, 26, 27 (some random classical disc I found, but I love it)
Smashing Pumpkins: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (disc 1)
The Allman Brothers: Greatest Hits
Jimi Hendrix: Axis: Bold As Love

That's just a few....

I heart music.

[Scepticalscribe]

I used to alphabetize my albums and listen to them in order.

Some just deserve to be listened to start to finish -
Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
Vangelis - Blade Runner
Enigma - any of them.

Agree, excellent choices. Pink Floyd, many of their albums, Mozart (Piano Concertos 20-29), Yann Tiersen "Amalie", Philip Glass "Symphony No 2", Beirut "Gulag Orkestar", and "The Flying Club Cup", Buena Vista Social Club, Leonard Cohen "I'm Your Man", and sundry others.

Cheers and good luck

[nadyne]

I have to play Flood by They Might Be Giants straight through, in order. One weekend when I was in college, a friend and I decided to take a midnight drive. We drove for like 14 hours that night, and that was the only tape I had in my car, so we spent a lot of time singing along with that album. It took me a couple of years to be able to deal with the album on CD, 'cause there was no pause in music where the tape flip used to be. Today, if you want to completely mess with my head, put in that album on random shuffle.

Another album that I've been listening to straight through is Trinity Revisited by Cowboy Junkies. It's such a great album.

[ZMacintosh]

theres quite a bit now that collect old LPs and CD/Albums...
I have this random assortment of Annette Hanshaw songs (96 total) that tend to last quite awhile, so i play those and just doze into history of how music was composed back then and what it was all about.


Laibach's Volk and WAT are ones i enjoy going from start to end
YeahYeahYeahs: Fever To Tell
The Killers: Hot Fuss


Dont really consider myself fans of their work or really musicians per se, but if there were junkfood for "music" these would be it...theres something about the weird element they put into their.....work, i can listen to for no real reason:
GravyTrain's Hello Doctor
MSI's: IF

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in The Sky

You can't NOT listen to a Radiohead album all the way through, that's the whole point.
Same with Animal Collective/Panda Bear.
Coldplay - Parachutes is a pretty much perfect album, so that's just enjoyable..
And The National make beautiful music, so why change it?
Bon Iver just grabs you and doesn't let go until the end, so you can't help yourself.

[John Doe 57]

How did I not list those?

I'm not quite sure of your meaning.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I'm not quite sure of your meaning.

I meant, of course every time you listen to anything by explosions in the sky you have to listen to the whole album. It was silly of me to leave them off my list.

[iVeBeenDrinkin']

Dark side of the moon and animals

[phototrix]

i'd have to go with

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Led Zeppelin - II
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Feist - The Reminder
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife

for a top 5 from 1-5 there are a crap load more, but i think that would be the 5

[John Doe 57]

I meant, of course every time you listen to anything by explosions in the sky you have to listen to the whole album. It was silly of me to leave them off my list.

Now I understand! You are absolutely right about explosions in the sky! I've been tuned into them for 5 years now.

Got to be radioheads Kid A. Most radiohead albums are good all of the way through, I also love listening to some entire god is an astronaut albums while I'm working.

Kid A is one of my favourite albums of all time; it's how I was introduced to Radiohead :) Apparently it's Thom Yorke's favourite album they've produced.

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis

[Jolly Jimmy]

All of them. You wouldn't skip chapters in a book would you? An album should be listened to as a whole, just as the artist intended. Of course if this is not the case then it's probably not worth listening to at all.

etc etc etc. There're lots more, due mostly to the fact that I generally don't keep music I don't care for, and once I find an artist like the sound of, I get used to the whole album..

[rockosmodurnlif]

All of them. You wouldn't skip chapters in a book would you? An album should be listened to as a whole, just as the artist intended. Of course if this is not the case then it's probably not worth listening to at all.
Actually most albums are usually more like a collection of loosely related short stories. Not a novel. Hence there are stories you can skip. I, for instance, regularly skip "Something in the Way" from an otherwise exceptional album.

The persons who posted here more than likely own more than the albums they listed but skip tracks on those albums but enjoy those albums otherwise. Certainly enjoy the work as the artist intended but unfortunately for the artist I am the end user. I can skip tracks, take tracks and place them in playlists completely unrelated and with other artists the artist may despise. Such is the risk of putting your work up for public consumption.

I may for instance choose to put "Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5" & "Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 6-9" back to back and move the rest of the album from between those tracks to the end. Certainly not the way the artist intended but the way I may prefer. Or I may chose to listen to "I Don't Believe in Love" and ignore the rest of the album. Just as I may start a book and not finish it. Read the end first or simply skip the boring parts.

That is the wonderful thing about art. It is ...

[OrangeCuse44]

Jimmy Eat World - Futures
Asteria - Slip Into Something More Comfortable

[Chris14]

OK Computer!
I LOVE that album so much :D

[rhsgolfer33]

Actually most albums are usually more like a collection of loosely related short stories. Not a novel. Hence there are stories you can skip. I, for instance, regularly skip "Something in the Way" from an otherwise exceptional album.

I tend to agree. Though there are albums that create a more full effect when played all the way though (a few Pink Floyd albums come to mind) most albums are so loosely connected that skipping songs hardly damages the feel.

Here are the ones I tend to play all the way through:

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Animals - Pink Floyd
Meddle - Pink Floyd
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness - Coheed and Cambria
The Artist In The Ambulance - Thrice
Vheissu - Thrice
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me - Brand New
Deja Entendu - Brand New

Various others as well, but these are the ones it happens with most often.

[irishgrizzly]

Nice thread idea! I'd say most of Bob Dylan's albums and these...

If You're Feeling Sinister – Belle & Sebastian

Bryter Layter – Nick Drake

Hunky Dory – David Bowie

The question is: is it because the album works so well or is it that you love the artist?

[Killyp]

Explosions in the Sky - All of the Sudden, I Miss Everyone
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold, Dead, Place


For me it's:
It's Boards of Canada - Music has the right to Children


Three great albums right there, although I find Explosions In The Sky a little too heavy going to sleep to.

Another album to add to the list would be Rebelski's Thanks For Your Thoughts. Listening to it right now and it's beautiful.

Her Space Holiday - The Young Machines
Good call. I love that cd.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I don't even like System of a Down, but lately I've been listening to Toxicity over and over.

[honestaeb]

My current favorite that I play all the way through is Coltrane's A Love Supreme. The entire album is like a suite, and all of the songs need to be played together.

[marclapierre13]

Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold

Great album

My favorite album is 18 Kids by Keith Urban

[petermcphee]

[zdobson]

Yeah, I always forget about Pablo Honey. I just don't count that one. Can I still say I listen to OK Computer all the way through even though I skip Fitter Happier? It's not really a song...

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night

[Greg_C]

Most recently, these two:

Anberlin - New Surrender
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/GregC/Anberlin.jpg

Jack's Mannequin - The Glass Passenger
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/GregC/GlassPassenger.jpg

They're both awesome albums!

[StingerT125]

Close To The Edge - Yes

[ArmyKnight12]

Um... All of them. I only buy great music.

[Vogue Harper]

Surprisingly few for me (but I accept that it is very rare to buy an album where there isn't a track which grates and you just automatically skip it after a few listens), so this is a list where I can honestly say I would not skip a single track:

Good Humor - Saint Etienne;
The Joshua Tree - U2;
Zooropa - U2;
Come On Over - Shania Twain;
If I Don't Stay The Night - Mindy McCready;
Wide Open Spaces - The Dixie Chicks; and
Greatest Hits - Run DMC (although this all starts sounding the same after a while so I am not sure if I have listened to it straight through).

[Fiveos22]

There are many that I like only as albums, instead of breaking them up into pieces, but the two that are standing out right now are:

Orbital - Insides [US Bonus Disc]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Orbitalinsides.jpg
(http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hxfwxq9hldae)
Tiga's DJ Kicks Album

(http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fpfpxqlaldfe)

[angemon89]

Just yesterday I played all the way through Hot Hot Heat's Elevator album. The songs are quite catchy.

[CharmCty]

Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

Drive by Truckers - Southern Rock Opera

Kings of Leon - Aha, Shake, Heartbreak

The Immortal Otis Redding

The Dirty Projectors - Rise Above

Andrew Bird Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs

Outkast ATLiens

[Roofy.]

I ALWAYS listen to my albums straight through. Its sort of an OCD type habit of mine. But some of my favorite albums are:

Pearl Jam- Self Titled
Pearl Jam- Yield
Pearl Jam- No Code (honestly any PJ album, they are my favorite band of all time)
Soundgarden- Down on the Upside (fav SG album easily)
Soundgarden- Superunknown
Phish- A face of nectar (?...forgot the name)
The Who- Quadrophenia
Tea Leaf Green- Self Titled (AMAZING)
King Of Leon- Only by Night
Dave Matthews Band- Before These Crowded Streets

etc etc etc.... These are just a random few. I listen to exclusively albums. Im not a radio hit, put my ipod on shuffle kind of guy.

[jono_3]

hate to do the shameless plug, but from the sounds of the thread you guys might be interested in my new album! links in the signature

[Loge]

I also listen to albums all the way through, but one in particular,

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

[Chris14]

Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory...

Such a great album and yet it lives up to its namesake.

[zdobson]

New to my list...

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

[suburbia]

There are quite a few actually, but my top 3 for pure atmosphere:

The English Beat I Just Can't Stop It - They weren't around long, but the music that they produced while they were a unit still rock. Timeless crunchy ska beats. And no, I would not like a reunion-- I'd like to remember them as they were back in their prime.

Goldfrapp Felt Mountain - The perfect soundtrack to a frozen, icy neverending winter's night-- or to a classic Sean Connery Bond film. Only Goldfrapp can conjure up the mood and atmosphere of a surreal Brothers Grimm fairy tale mixed with film noir.

Digable Planets Blowout Comb - Hip hop, acid jazz and the power of the Black Panther. Brooklyn never sounded so creamy.

[suburbia]

hate to do the shameless plug, but from the sounds of the thread you guys might be interested in my new album! links in the signature

Yes, highly recommended! Amazing music :)

[Loge]

Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory...

Such a great album and yet it lives up to its namesake.

Yes, I second that one.

[BillyBobBongo]

Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion

I can't help it....I just have to hear it all once I've heard one track. I was listening to it today as it happens.

There are others....but this one always makes me smile!

Spoon - Kill the Moonlight

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister (Live)

[oddity]

The Helio Sequence.

[Scepticalscribe]

I don't generally listen to most music straight through, but one group that I never listen to an other way is Beirut, especially their latest album The Flying Club Cup, and the album before that, Gulag Orkestar. Gripping stuff.

Cheers

[GilGrissom]

I know it's fairly obvious but Coldplay: Viva La Vida.

Also: Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

And that's all I can think of right now.

[Blinkwing]

At the moment, I'm listening to Deep Purple's Machine Head.

[chomper21]

Anything Chris Thile does. All the Nickel Creek albums and especially his new project with the Punch bros will keep your jaw dropping the whole listen through. I guarantee it.

[angemon89]

Recently for me it's been MIA's album Kala. I can't believe I didn't listen to it all the way through sooner. I would just listen to a few select songs.

[sysiphus]
