LauraGB Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 You know - the kind you can listen to the whole album all the way through because *all* the songs are good. ;) I don't often listen to music, preferring silence most of all, but at any given time I can be convinced to listen to some certain albums. I'll go first, in no particular order: Tom Waits - Closing Time Iron and Wine - Shepherd's Dog Rocky Votolato - Makers Shrek soundrack (the first one) Twilight Soundtrack (:blush: what can I say?) Two close contenders would be The Charlie Byrd Trio at the Village Gate and The Juno Soundtrack. How 'bout you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I can listen to these all the way through (which is rare for me): James Blunt: Back to Bedlam Counting Crows: August and Everything After Sublime That's probably it. I love all different music, but usually only a few songs on each album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Fun! I'll try. I love lots of different music, but albums where I love every song is rare. In no order: Death Cab For Cutie: Plans Sigur Ros: Takk Duran Duran: Rio Depeche Mode: Black Celebration Interpol: Our Love to Admire Honorable Mention--The Pogues: Rum, Sodomy, & The Lash and/or If I Should Fall From Grace with God (tie) I'm sure if you asked me tomorrow, or next week, this list would change. Many of my favorite SONGS aren't even on the above albums. I have favorite songs from Guided by Voices, Sting, The Cure, and Tom Waits! I actually listen to mostly classical music now....but I have no idea who I'm listening to usually :001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Are they still called albums? :D I love John Denver's Evening With John Denver (live album) Carla Bonoff's first album--I don't know the title, maybe self-titled There are several Dan Fogelberg albums I liked, but I can't think of them I like almost every Beatles album.

That's a perfect record, I'm adding to my 5 favorite records list. My husband is insisting the number needs to be increased to 10. He's pacing in front of our records.

sarawatsonim Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think mine were from all around the same year so I'm sure I will date myself. Nirvana - Nevermind album and Unplugged in New York album Green Day - Dookie Hole - Live Through This Offspring - Smash Weezer - The Blue Album Memories of my teens. I actually haven't bought an album in years. I download songs here and there, but to actually buy a whole album I need it to be some seriously good music from start to finish....no fillers.

nmoira Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I can't really choose just five, but I'll share the first five that come to mind: The Clash -- London Calling Cowboy Junkies -- The Trinity Session The Replacements -- Pleased to Meet Me Pink Floyd -- The Final Cut The Kinks -- I can't possibly choose... practically their entire discography through Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One in 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 My top 5 favorites, not the albums I think are the best albums, but the ones I enjoy the most, right (for whatever reason)? Okay, without reading the list of anyone else (don't want to be improperly influenced, but I may therefore be forgetting a great album or ten): Astral Weeks by Van Morrison Achtung Baby by U2 (I KNOW it's not their best album, okay? It's partly sentimental.) The Singles by The Clash (Do compilation albums count? This is probably cheating.) Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd Rubber Soul by The Beatles If I have to pick only 5, I guess that's it. I feel like I'm leaving out a lot of great albums though. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I never get to listen to any of "my" music anymore - the kids have taken over with their classical music! Here are some I've listened to over and over, before kids or on the rare occasions that they're not here (and yes, there's nothing new here - have I mentioned that I never get to listen to anything but classical anymore?). In no particular order (and oops it's more than 5): Christine Lavin - Attainable Love Patty Larkin - Step into the Light Gipsy Kings The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me The The - Mind Bomb Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Suzanne Vega - her first album with Marlene on the Wall on it Sting - Dream of the Blue Turtles Chess - album out before the actual musical Pink Floyd -Animals OMD - Crush and Dazzle Ships Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth Cirque de Soleil - Alegria Sinead O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra Susan MeKeown - The Mother Album Discovery String Band - Most Perfect Harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelenNotOfTroy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I apparently live in a different musical universe from everyone else. I have never heard of most of the music the rest of you like.:001_smile: I don't think we own any of these anymore, they were mostly tapes and we have no tape player. Madonna Like a Virgin Motley Crue Too Fast for Love Whitesnake Whitesnake Quiet Riot Metal Health Ratt Out of Cellar And I mean the albums released in the '80s, not re-releases. And that dates me pretty well. DH's are a little different from mine. He says to mention that he likes many types of music, just not entire albums of other kinds.

radiobrain Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I cannot do 5... and I cannot really think of ones I would later.... But here are a few albums that would go into my "can listen to the whole album, w/o a clunker" category PJ Harvey - Dry, Rid of Me, and Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea Yo La Tengo- Painful, I can hear the Heart Beating as One, Electro-O-Pura Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted Guided by Voices- Bee Thousand Throwing Muses- first 4 albums Stereolab- first 2 albums Yma Sumac- Voice of the Xtabay Xavier Cugat's MAMBO! Patsy Cline's greatest hits Best of DEVO Best of Buzzcocks So.. there are a few to chew on. I think a top 5 from each year of my life since I discovered Blondie might be easier, if approached one year at a time. It would be pretty funny too. :D BTW... I will have to go find my cassette copy of Mind Bomb now. Thanks. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittleWonders Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Patsy Cline's greatest hits My dad loved Patsy Cline. When we were in Norway in the early 90s, I think he about wore out the cassette tape - it was about 20 minutes per side, and really to get anywhere, it took about 40-45 minutes to drive there, which meant we would listen to both sides of the cassette each way! Eventually my grandmother asked if we could play one of my cassettes just to change things up a little. :lol: So, we put in Erasure. I have a sentimental place in my heart for Patsy Cline as her songs remind me of my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) What did you buy? I'm listening to Super Session right now. So good.. :) So far: Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me Uncle Tupelo - Still Feel Gone Both of which I used to have but have long since displaced. Now they are securely loaded onto my MP3:D. ETA - and I forgot; dd informed she already has Death Cab For Cutie Plans (so she just saved me a few dollars - oh wait - apparently I already spent them but didn't realize it). Then Nirvana Unplugged, which prompted a search through Dh's car to find Pearl Jam Live at Benaroya Hall, and then I ended up finding my Norah Jones Come Away With Me, so bonus. Then it occurred to me to check ds's room, and I found my The Legend of Johnny Cash cd. Presently I'm toiling over which Kate Bush to get.
