whomper Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 I like many of the choices so far! Here are some I didn't see or passed in haste... Grateful Dead- American Beauty, Workingmans Dead, and Reckoning Allman Brothers Band: Peakin' at the Beacon Black Crowes: Southern Harmony and Musical Companion Derek and the Dominoes: Layla and other assorted love songs Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti Soulive: Doin' Somethin' Thin Lizzy: Live and Dangerous Umphreys McGee: Anchor Drops Great question Whomp! I was just talking with some of my bandmates about the lost art of the "album" Itunes and other single song entities have destroyed the album as WE know it! We are getting ready to finally FINALLY finish our album and we are taking lots of time and effort to make sure it is a very cohesive listen from start to finish. Great call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheikYerbuti Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I do not listen to individual songs on OK Computer. Either start to finish or I don't listen to it at all. Others that come to mind for me: Bad Brains - I Against I Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited Beatles - Rubber Soul Frank Zappa - Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I agree with a bunch already named, but have to add London Calling by the Clash. Great from start to finish. werd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 A few I can think of: David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust REM - Life's Rich Pagent (yeah, I can't f'n spell) Jane's Additction - Nothing's Shocking and self titled Jello Biafra with DOA - Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors The Stooges - Fun House Big Star - Live Deer Tick - War Elephant Dinosaur Jr. - Whatever's Cool with Me Black Crowes: Southern Harmony and Musical Companion Frog Holler - Idiots Dr. Dre - The Chronic The Cult - Electric Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York (not my favorite but the whole thing is great) Pixies - Doolittle All the real country I like is Greatest HIts, same with the Rolling Stones. Can't count those, that's cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, Warren Zevon's Learning to Flinch is sort of a "greatest hits live" but stands on its own enough that I'd feel OK calling it a start-to-finish album.

untateve Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) In keeping with our music theme lately. What albums can you listen to and thoroughly enjoy from front to back. I mean love every song, cant get enough, think every song on the album is pretty much awesome. Its interesting because your album choice may be from a band that isnt your favorite band. 3 that come to mind for me is 1. Back in Black- AC DC- My favorite album of all time 2. Van Halen 1 3. Appetite for destruction - GnR What says the huddle ? You and I have widely different views of music. DSM - Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (edit because I screwed up the title) Abbey Road - The Beatles Rubber Soul - The Beatles LZ 4 - Led Zeppelin Edited August 15, 2010 by untateve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 First one that came to mind: Pearl Jam - Ten First and only that comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thews40 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Most Pink Floyd, but Animals and The Wall are my favorites. About half of the old Neil Young, but Rust never sleeps is my favorite. Old Elton John with Bernie Taupin produced some great ones, but Madman across the water and Don't shoot me I'm only a piano player are the best IMO. A lot of REM is great, but Green is the best IMO. My first car had an 8-track and I only had two tapes... Fragile by Yes and Aqualung... both are awesome start to finish. If I had to pick a gheyest album that was my favorite start to finish, it would be Boys in the trees by Carly Simon... just kidding... ok, I'm not kidding . Most obscure would be Don Mclean by Don Mclean. Released in 1972, it's great start to finish. Edited August 15, 2010 by Thews40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricrelish Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Beck - Odelay (1996) Beck's best album. I was fortunate enough to see him on tour for this one. He still wasn't a big draw at that time, so it was small venue and not that many people there. It was my favorite concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I remember buying a cd in the $5 bin on my ship while I was out to sea in the Navy in 1990 something. Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream....it never left my walkman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I dunno, Warren Zevon's Learning to Flinch is sort of a "greatest hits live" but stands on its own enough that I'd feel OK calling it a start-to-finish album. Do we need to make a favorite Greatest Hits list that excludes box sets? Because Hot Rocks is pretty tough to beat start to finish and I'm not a big classic rock fan. BTW, I'm adding: GWAR - America Must Be Destroyed Okkervile River - Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See I'm considering adding to my list: Matisyahu - Live @ Stubbs except that beat box song kills me. People should leave noises to dude from Police Academy. The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
