DCGNR Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The mark of a truly great album, to me at least, is one where if you need to listen to it , start to finish.I've got many albums that I like, where sometimes I can just throw it in my car, play a few songs off of it, and be done with it -And then there are the special ones where it just doesn't seem right to do that Dark Side of the Moon - is the one for meIf I hear, for example, "Time" on the radio - I'm not turning it off, but it just doesn't seem right without hearing "Breathe" firstAny others?

DirtyDeeds Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Obviously the big 4 from Floyd, but also for some reason Highway to Hell by AC/DC. All the songs are fantastic on their own, but better together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Wish You Were Here and Dark Side obviously.But also Nirvana - Unplugged in New York. I can't listen to a song from that performance and not want to hear the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonk Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Jet-Get BornReally? I haven't listened to it in ages but I remember it being mostly filler. I don't have any albums that I have to listen to as a whole. EDIT: Apart from Vulture Street - Powderfinger.

New Rose Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Temple of the Dog - Temple of the DogYES! I've been telling people for years that that particular album is much better as a whole than just single tracks.Personally, DSOTM isn't an album for me that I can only listen to as a whole. It's best as whole, but I can pick out tracks too. Animals and WYWH imo are albums that you can listen only as an album, not tracks.I'd like to add:The Mars Volta - Frances the MuteMassive Attack - MezzanineNine Inch Nails - Still EP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Honestly? None.Yeah, me too. I don't think I've ever heard an album where I like every song. DSOTM especially. I found most of that album to be uninteresting. Time, Money, and maybe one or two other songs I like...the rest, not so much. But I've been planning to give that album another listen or two because people always urge to hear it in it's entirety (which I did the first time, but whatever).I tend to focus on each song as it's own thing, and pick the ones I love most to listen to frequently. Of course an album puts all it's songs into context, but at the end of the day an album is a collection of songs that you listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Eddie Vedder-Into The WildAbsolutely!Temple of the Dog - Temple of the DogYeah, beautiful record!Disintegration by The CureThe atmosphere of that album is just so haunting, I just can't listen to it while it's bright and sunny outside, it has to be nighttime or a rainy day.
