Albums that need to be listened to

[gibleto]

Back to back.

Yeah, you heard me bitches. What's the most important album that you need to listen to from first song to last song.

In my opinion, it should be "The Downward Spiral" By Nine Inch Nails. If you listen to a song off that album at random, chances are that it will be a pretty badass song. But there's just something about it that demands a full sit down and listen. Which is what I'm doing right now. What's your choice?

Absolutely "88 Keys & Counting" by Grieves. Absolutely fantastic album from start to finish.

[amaterasu]

"Soundtrack to a Vacant Life" by The Flashbulb

Amazing album.

[michelinman]

Beyond Hell - GWAR. What a fucking story that album is. Haha.

[Jeffaro]

The sound of perseverance - Death

That album changed me.

[Diddy]

Julian Plenti - Skyscraper

The fat of the land by the prodigy

[ZOMGALIENS]

Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

From a Basement on the Hill by Elliott Smith

One of those rare albums in which each track is a winner.

Transformer by Lou Reed is another.

[pr0ded]

richard james bitch slapped NIN with the remixes and comments, owns the flashbulb, and the prodigy

Daft Punk, Discovery. Each song really is a piece of art.

[HeavenDuff]

Ashes Against The Grain by Agalloch. A most for all of those who like atmospheric music.

[Mendou]

Bauhaus-In the Flat Field: really nails that 'goth' kind of rock. It's like punk, but it's heavier. It's like New Wave but with darker content and sound. I can't quite describe their sound, but it's a good listen nonetheless.

Etro Anime- See The Sound: Almost every song has an amazing hook to it, Liset Alea's vocals have an incredibly clear sound to them. The beats are like the pinnacle of cool and 'hip' with it's smooth production and deep house sound.

Primal Scream- Screamadelica: The ultimate dance record, "Don't fight it, feel it" is the best song from the album.

And I'm too lazy to list more.

Pink Floyd, The Wall. If you only listen to one song out of this album then you are robbing yourself of the full experience.

[yurgenburgen]

The Mars Volta - "De-loused in the Comatorium"

Have to agree. I could listen to that over and over and over.

Same goes for Dark Side of the Moon in my opinion. Well actually, any Pink Floyd album should be listened to from start to finish.

The Halo 3 ODST soundtrack. 2 hours and two discs of pure orchestral awesomeness makes this the best soundtrack I've ever bought.

Yuck

[Mechabloby]

It's not the best album ever, but Arctic Monkey's Humbug is an album I can listen to from start to finish - it's a grower, but it's worth the listen.

Anyway, this is good, and also, Shpongle. Any of them. Specifically perhaps, Tales Of The Inexpressible.

[therealanimator]

[Freaki-boy92]

Why do you say?

[lolomfgisuck]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

Tons of diversity and every song flows seemlessly into the next track so theres no pause or silence between songs. It's one of my all-time favorite albums.

[Ass-Crumb]

*Ahem*

[Aigis]

F#A#(Infinity) - God Speed You! Black Emperor.

It is an aural experience that you must receive as a whole.

"I said 'kiss me, you're beautiful. These are truly the last days.'"

[Valjylmyr]

The Infinite Wonders of Creation by Luca Turilli. Really one of the most amazing power metal albums I've ever heard.

[PinballWizard976]

Tommy by the who. A really incredible story. Quadrophenia (also by the who) perhaps could be listened to in one go, but it just doesn't have the same power behind it. Sure, a quad-split-personality is a great subject to explore, but Tommy tells a better story. The music is excellent in both however.

Also, The Wall is another great choice for something like that. A truly great motive behind that rock opera, but I think it would be better stoned. I can understand what they're saying about not living behind a wall, but I haven't tried it high yet, to sit down to listen to the whole thing anyway. It truly is magnificent, but it might be better with an additional bag o fun included.
