Albums In Their Entirety


Recommended Posts

Remember when you'd put an LP on the turntable, play side one, then flip it over and play side two? It was a nuisance lifting the stylus to skip over filler tunes, so sometimes you'd just sit through the clunkers.

(Then you started replacing your albums with cassettes or cd's... and maybe almost miss the pops and crackles that were on certain spots on your vinyl versions.)

Some albums as originally released are good all the way through, and are worth playing from the first track to the last.

Which are your favorites? (Non Greatest Hits).

My vote:

"Dark Side of the Moon"

The more I write the more start to come to mind. For all it's limitations albums were really a great way to listen to music. As I get older I get more nostalgic.

I usually like to listen to albums, although with the advent of iTunes I also like making playlists and listening on random play.

But I do like the continuity of a good album. Hell, I bought the two original Led Zeppelin boxed sets, and then re-organized them into album playlist for iTunes (and while studying for finals have been listening to them for comfort).

Most recently, Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell's "Begonias" is a great listen from beginning to end.

Also:

"Get Guilty" - A.C. Newman

"Aptos" - The Moore Brothers

"Blame It On Gravity" - Old 97's

"Clouded Staircase" - Starling Electric

"Bearsick" Billy Harvey

"Enjoy The Music of the Famous Volcanoes" - Famous Volcanoes

"The Trials of Van Occupanther" - Midlake

-Jonathan

I like to listen to everything I buy from end to end. Always have been. I rarely skip tracks on anything. ALthough in this world of ipod shuffle, that's changing.

But to go along with the thread:

Dream Theater: Images and Words, Scenes From a Memory

Queensryche : Rage for Order, Mindcrime

dada: Puzzle

Journey: Captured

Enchant: Juggling 9 and Dropping 10

Whitesnake: Whitesnake

etc....
