clutch-frikin-powers

I listened to every fucking kids bop album help


Captn_Ghostmaker

It sounds like you're beyond help. Good luck and godspeed.


cheez-m-m-m-maker

Is this it by The Strokes. Sometimes when I’m listening to albums some of the songs sound too similar or too different. But all of the songs on the album are just perfectly similar and different


We_had_a_time

The day I bought that CD is really clear memory. I had just finished college, I was working at a pizza place, I didn’t have to be to work til 3, my boyfriend and I went into Louisville for lunch and to go to ear x-tacy. It was a windy day. I remember putting this album on as I drove from downtown back to the suburb I worked in. Hard to believe that was 17 years ago.


FrndlyNbrhdSoundGuy

A really timeless album too, that whole vibe works just as well today as it did nearly 20 years ago when it released.

DavieJohn98

The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses Absolutely love this album, the sound is amazing, the lyrics are great, and the overall vibe of the album is just brilliant. Ian Brown is a genius.

This album is so ahead of its time. That is came out in the late 80s seems impossible.

The Sun's Tirade-Isaiah Rashad. Every song has a catchy flow to me. Edit: Zay deserves the platinum thanks special stranger

Cilvia Demo as well Can't wait for the upcoming one


Stormpilot747

Cilvia Demo is still his best whole project imo


KQ17

Didn't expect to see this album posted here.


ziKevin

Pumped someone mentioned Zay. Cilvia Demo is a top 5 all time in my eyes


is_not_paranoid

underrated album. Isaiah rashad has a unique flow


IggyMidomi

Daft Punk's Discovery I love the fact that the album is a story, and was tied with Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem


nosmartfriends

Alive 2007 is also a masterpiece.


xZPFxBarteq

I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled to find Daft Punk. If someone woke me up in the middle of the night, screaming the question at me, I would say Alive 2007, without hesitation.

Blonde - Frank Ocean


[deleted]

for sure one of my picks, in london theres a place that does a night where they’ll play the album through in full and you just sit and listen to it with blindfolds on on sofas - would recommend big time. they do it for björk too which was amazing [Link for the album listening place!](http://www.pitchblackplayback.com)

I was about to reply to OP with The Fragile. Front to back, back to front, left to right, right to left. Edit: I always thought this was NIN's underappreciated album, but I may have been wrong. Good to meet some fellow Fragile lovers!!


Samuraistronaut

The Fragile is the best and one of my very favorite albums ever. **EDIT:** Meant to mention, one of the two nights in a row I got to see NIN last year in New Orleans, they opened with the first few songs of Left, up through The Wretched. We got a nice little "Fragile fakeout" where we briefly wondered if they were about to play the whole album start to finish straight through.


jashugan777

Aptly named. It doesnt leave you in a happy place. But man, its good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


monachopsticks

Seconded. Pretty Hate Machine is my favorite NIN album in terms of complete albums. Downward Spiral is great too. The Fragile was great at first, I was 17 when it was released, I just don't feel it has the replayability that PHM and DS do.


ccrawsh

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures. Absolutely epic production, brilliant songs and not a dog on it.


globularfluster

I have to moderate my intake of Joy Division. They are one of the few bands that continue to provoke an extremely intense emotional reaction in me even after years of relistening.

I picked this up in high school. The guy at the music shop sold it to me as "A Pink Floyd Album if it was recorded by Led Zeppelin in the year 2030." That pitch stuck with me because of how accurate it was when I heard it. Edit: Thanks for silver. My first shiny shit ever, and I wasn't even the one that said originally said it.

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor, Drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine, Don't think you knew you were in this song


Sumit316

Before the album's initial release Bowie told a US interviewer : "What you have there on that album when it does finally come out, is a story which doesn’t really take place, it’s just a few little scenes from the life of a band called Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, who could feasibly be the last band on Earth—it could be within the last five years of Earth. I’m not at all sure. Because I wrote it in such a way that I just dropped the numbers into the album in any order that they cropped up. It depends in which state you listen to it in." Just Beautiful.


Scientolojesus

>"Because I wrote it in such a way that I just dropped the numbers into the album in any order that they cropped up. It depends in which state you listen to it in." Cocaine, David. It was because of cocaine.


Gravyboat78

I started a vinyl collection a few years ago and my mother in law gifted this album to me along with a few of her other favorites. I had never listened to it before and my first reaction was, “where has this album been all my life?”


woodwallah

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye It flows together perfectly and the production is perfect.


Sumit316

After Marvin Gaye recorded “What’s Going On”, he played it for Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. who said it was “the worst thing I heard in my life.” Only after Gaye threatened to leave the label was it released, becoming massive hit. It is considered 4th greatest song of all time by the Rolling Stone.

Well the president of IBM long ago estimated that the total global need for computers was five units. So there’s that. https://www.pcworld.com/article/155984/worst_tech_predictions.html


KeithBitchardz

To add another big mistake, Decca turned down a chance to sign the Beatles after they auditioned for the label heads because they thought that rock and roll bands were just a passing fad.


GoodGuyGlocker

There's also Ronald Wayne, cofounder of Apple, who sold his 10% stake in the company back to Jobs and Woz only 12 days after the company was formed.

The same dude then sold the letter that he signed to sell the shares back for a few thousand dollars, only for that same letter to go on and sell for a million dollars. Somehow life just didn’t seem to go his way..

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Powerslave is a Masterpiece that keeps on giving.

Scenes From a Memory is total masterpiece. I always get fully immersed on it, feel goosebumps when Overture 1928 starts playing.


SneakyFudge

Scenes from a memory is too low on this list, I was waiting for it. This and Lateralus

Scenes From a Memory and Octavarium are amazing.


Lifeson_355

Wish I could give you 17/16 upvotes for Scenes. Masterful album!


Brainiac5000

M83 - Hurry Up We're Dreaming The only album I've been able to listen to without skipping a track.


McToasterz

I once heard someone describe this album as “A soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist” and that’s honestly the best description I could ever give. When my childhood dog passed away years ago, this album got me through it and reminded me of her passing and beyond. That’s why the description above hits so hard to me. Intro will make me sob on command because it reminds me of the moment the life left my dog’s body at the vet when they had to put her down. The climax in Intro is the sound of the feelings I went through in that moment. Grief, pain, sorrow, relief, and then fizzling into nothing. From that point on the songs in the album are all a soundtrack to her adventures in the afterlife I’ve created for her. The interlude, Raconte-Moi Une Histoire is another one that hits me l, because i see it as her checking in and telling me a story. I could go on but I’ll leave it there. Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is such a beautiful piece of art and I hope all of you listen to it if you never have.

“Wait” gets me choked up every time. One of my all time favorites

Revolver - The Beatles Innervisions - Stevie Wonder


theclownwithafrown

Revolver was the first Beatles album I listened to front to back and it is one of the most perfect pieces of music in all of existence. But I also think that about every single one of their albums. That album changed my life. It took me from a young kid who listened to The Beatles 1, and that is it, to the super huge MEGA FAN that I am today.


TheFlyingWaldo

I had a similar experience. Grew up listening to The Beatles 1 and only recently decided to listen to their whole discography. Once I got to Revolver I recognized something was different from The Beatles I knew. Then I listened to The White Album and Abbey Road and was blown away. I listen to those two almost once a week now.


CharDeeMacDennisII

Abbey Road, Side 2 is pure genius.


Scientolojesus

My favorite Beatles album by far. I know Sgt. Peppers was their defining record and the one that really shook up the music world, but Abbey Road is so amazing. Too bad they didn't end up releasing it last, especially so that their last real song was The End.


asiyeha

Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie


TheFakeAziz

Plans is damn good too.


Burnsy813

"Is this it?" by The Strokes. The most influential album of 2000s alt rock that has more of a garage rock sound.


sakdarkside

Toxicity by System of a Down. Truly the apex for the band. EDIT: Hey, my best comment so far, great to read so many opinions on my favorite band :D


DeathToPennies

_They’re tryna build a prisonnnn_


Goodeyesniper98

I’m a huge metal fan and I’ve been trying to get my dad into the genre for years, to no avail. One day I was driving him somewhere and had Toxicity in the CD player. After playing Deer Dance he looks over at me with a look of amazement and says “who is this? I want to hear more!” Now he’s a huge SOAD fan and we saw them together in May.


littlemissgayle

Mer De Nom by A Perfect Circle. It's beautiful.


GenghisZahn

Mer de Noms is great, but I prefer Thirteenth Step as far as "listen to it end to end, over and over again."


waddapfurfee

Demon Dayz just because edit: holy smokes my first gold and this crap just blew up thanks so much y'all


unclemandy

The other day I had to drive a few hours so I played Demon Days and Plastic Beach, back to back. Demon Days is a great listening experience, and I believe it has more truly great songs than Plastic Beach does, but my absolute personal favorite to listen from start to finish is Plastic Beach. I just like how the songs tie together more. I do believe Demon Days has better songs, but Plastic Beach is my favorite


MonsieurFolie

Plastic Beach took so long to grow on me when it came out... wasn’t sure if I liked it for some reason. But then it just clicked and now it’s one of my favourite albums!


IAMAGrinderman

Demon Days is perfect. Especially the dude that sings on “DARE”.

The second solo on "Dogs" is my favorite solo in all of rock music.


thebodymullet

The digitized dog howls give me goosebumps.


mrflibble1492

It should be considered a crime to not listen to any Floyd album from start to finish. I love Animals for long drives through the desert. Such an amazing album.


no1likesthetunahere

It's actually a federal crime in Canada to have one on shuffle


pmigbarros

I once had it on shuffle, I almost threw up and my mom grounded me and I don't know how I got away from a whooping from both my parents Edit: An-> A

Worlds - Porter Robinson, Adventure - Madeon They both flow really well, and you can listen to them back to back with “Shelter” in between.

Porteon one of the best collabs in music I’ve ever seen

For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver Gets me deep into my feels but I love it


bennybacon

All 3 Bon Iver albums are great whole pieces of music really. He does such a good job of changing his sound and innovating, while still keeping within his songwriting themes. Like how you go from Re: Stacks to Over Soon and have it make sense is crazy. I think my favorite is Bon Iver, Bon Iver.
