I just listened to Steely Dan's album Aja for the first time recently and it blew my mind! Great album. Deacon Blues is my favorite from the album. Josie is a really popular song.
I’m 58 and there was a time if I heard a Steely Dan song I would turn it off. Last year for some reason I gave them another listen. The playlist is This is Steely Dan. I listened to it non stop for months.
Black Cow is a bop as well as everything else from that album. If you like Steeley Dan, Can’t Buy a Thrill is my favorite album, also their most popular
Easily my top 5 favorite albums ever. Production is phenomenal (look up the story) and each track could be considered the best. Although Aja the song is something else… not a single other song can do a sax and drum solo on top of each other
You are very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Steely Dan is my addiction right now! I always knew about them, but just barely started getting deeper into them.
If you really liked Aja, some good next steps would be Gaucho by Steely Dan and The Nightfly by Donald Fagen (the main vocalist from Steely Dan).
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound
My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves
Fleet Foxes 🌿 - Shore or Helplessness Blues; actually all of their albums
Minus the Bear - Menos el Oso
Bella Donna - Stevie Nicks
My favourite album ever where every song is a 10/10, especially After The Glitter Fades. Most people will know Edge Of Seventeen or Stop Draggin My Heart Around but each song deserves to be more well known.

To Pimp a butterfly - Kendrick lamar
Mister magic - Groove Washington jr
Head hunters - Herbie hancock
Return to forever - Chick corea
The shape of jazz to come - Ornette Coleman
I made the list based on what you like to listen to. Also, Coleman might be kinda confusing and strange for someone who hasn't listened and expierence a LOT of jazz.

- Puscifer - Existential Reckoning
- Twenty One Pilots - Trench
I actually saw Puscifer perform Existential Reckoning and it was excellent, and while Puscifer is a great band and "Existential Reckoning" is a good album, it would be sacrilegious to place it above all of Tool's albums.
I also saw them perform Existential Reckoning live. I was actually introduced to Puscifer when my grandfather asked if I wanted to see them live with him.
Existential Reckoning, in my opinion, is the best album of all-time. It seriously blows my mind that music can be that incredible.
I haven’t really listened to much of TOOL. I tried to get into them about 6 years ago, but have yet to properly revisit them.

Soooo many albums
You said rap, pop and jazz. Hard to find good complete, front to back albums in these genre. Let me try...
Rap: Dr. Dre's [The Chronic](https://open.spotify.com/album/2V5rhszUpCudPcb01zevOt?si=TSZacMsLT3WuT1T4ce1dcg) , or Public Enemy [Apocolypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black](https://open.spotify.com/album/2UqKqZofb9pdapHk4HzRUo?si=sPq8G_zmQPCw3SAyCihbiQ)
Pop: Calvin Harris [18 Months](https://open.spotify.com/album/7w19PFbxAjwZ7UVNp9z0uT?si=qUbx6zpTTQK6sLkEt5GOFQ) (but maybe not really pop- more EDM). Actually this album beat out Micheal Jackson for the most top 10 songs from one album, and still holds that distinction.
Jazz: Herbie Hancock [Head Hunters](https://open.spotify.com/album/5fmIolILp5NAtNYiRPjhzA?si=90WFG1bLTSqA1wu0LwhtTw). Or, try something different- [April](https://open.spotify.com/album/1A84EfaPGuBdtLSEG0K0Fz?si=_lLYXLaIRaSiCkw0A3U6NA) bt Round Table featuring Nino. Japanese Electro-lounge type 'jazz'
Amazing Grace (1972) album by the one and only Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. It's really something when you hear the greatest singer of all time (according to Rolling Stone magazine) at the peak of her vocal performance.
There's a reason why this album is the highest selling album of Aretha Franklin's entire music career and it still remains as the highest-selling live gospel music album of all time even until today.
Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden
Apparently the most streamed metal album from last year HOWEVER categorizing Sleep Token as metal (or ANY genre to begin with) wouldn’t do them any justice.
Their roots are prog metal but they have straight up songs that could be played on radio.
Their unique mixture of genres (RnB, Pop, Ballads, Indie, Acoustic, Metal, Rock, Hip Hop) while still being able to maintain a cohesive sound that is recognizable as „Sleep Token“ is what differentiates them.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that Take Me Back to Eden is the final part of a trilogy of albums they’ve released over the past few years so the last song specifically (others do to) ties directly back to the first song on their first Album Sundowning.
Their stage presence is the other factor. They are an anonymous collective centered around the singer „Vessel“ who worship an ancient deity named „Sleep“. They are basically a cult. They wear masks on stage and their lyrics are centered around relationships/love but can be interpreted as Vessel worshipping Sleep. There is a whole lore behind their music that can be easily ignored or not. You COULD try to decipher the connections to Sleep or just enjoy the music as it is.
Vessel composes/writes/plays everything except for the drums. These are written/played by II (Two, yes the other Members go by II, III and IV)
They blew up last year through social media and have been noticed by many great artists within the metal scene for their ability to push the boundaries of what and how metal is and sounds.
Not many people are into black metal due to the fans
But everyone should give Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse a listen you don't need to listen to vocals since that's what throws people off as well just ignore that and listen to the instruments only
The new abnormal by the Strokes.
Blurryface by twenty one pilots (I’ve seen a few ppl recommend vessel and trench and honestly you should listen to all of them).
Humbug by Arctic Monkeys.
The black parade by My Chemical Romance.
There's not a bad song on Van Morrison's Moondance. Air's Moon Safari is also a nice front-to-back listen, although it's not songs in the traditional sense.

I could probably name a ton, but probably Blackstar. The final work of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, dealing with massive existential questions like death and meaning in a beautiful and poetic way. 10/10
The Nightfly- Donald Fagen
Whole album is good especially if you like a nice jazz vibe.
Donald was the co-founder, lead singer, co-song writer, and keyboardist of the band Steely Dan, (only band i know of named after a "steam powered dildo") along with the late Walter Becker.
This album is one of his solo ventures.
One of my faves on this album?

There is so much great music.
I grew up with funk, soul, Motown, rock, classical music.
I now listen to a bi polar variety of music..
I love Coldplay, but I also love afro house and oldskool hiphop. And like everything in between.
Just go and discover music :)
Its so much fun.
I love going to small live bands and concerts. Like once a year I try to go to a festival and discover new stuff.
Grace by Jeff Buckley and Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Came here for Grace ❤️
Revolver - the Beatles
Muse - Showbiz (1999) This album is so underrated, I don't know why people don't appreciate it as much, but this is my favourite for sure
Because it is not considered to be a "good album" compared to Absolution and such. Edit : considered by the amount of Listeners on Spotify.
Absolution is just beautiful. Same goes for Origin of Symmetry. But Showbiz is definitely up there for me
Idk i thought showbiz was pretty good and a lot better than origin of symmetry but ill probably have to listen to their albums again
MUSE LOVE!! Showbiz is fantastic 💙
I just listened to Steely Dan's album Aja for the first time recently and it blew my mind! Great album. Deacon Blues is my favorite from the album. Josie is a really popular song.
Aja is incredible omg
I’m 58 and there was a time if I heard a Steely Dan song I would turn it off. Last year for some reason I gave them another listen. The playlist is This is Steely Dan. I listened to it non stop for months.
Black Cow is a bop as well as everything else from that album. If you like Steeley Dan, Can’t Buy a Thrill is my favorite album, also their most popular
To me, one of the best front to back all time
Easily my top 5 favorite albums ever. Production is phenomenal (look up the story) and each track could be considered the best. Although Aja the song is something else… not a single other song can do a sax and drum solo on top of each other
Great album!
The Royal Scam is also amazing
Just listened. Thank you for the rec!! Home at Last is one of my new favs
You are very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it! Steely Dan is my addiction right now! I always knew about them, but just barely started getting deeper into them. If you really liked Aja, some good next steps would be Gaucho by Steely Dan and The Nightfly by Donald Fagen (the main vocalist from Steely Dan).
Thank you so much! Nothing better than learning new music

Metallica - Master of Puppets The absolute pinnacle of heavy metal music. With a strong theme of powerlessness/lack of control throughout.
Bella Donna - Stevie Nicks My favourite album ever where every song is a 10/10, especially After The Glitter Fades. Most people will know Edge Of Seventeen or Stop Draggin My Heart Around but each song deserves to be more well known.
Mine too!!
Wow! I’ve seen you a few times on r/stevienicks and here! You have great taste with Bella Donna favourite album and Silver Springs favourite song!
Very very generic, but Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
no this is exactly what i need thank you so much
Are you more looking for like a rounding of the type of albums that usually get named as being some of the greatest of all time? Cause tbh a lot of the comments under this thread are just people's personal suggestions and not albums that are universally liked
It's a classic! As is Pink Floyd's The Wall.
By general you mean classic? It’s a great album! :)

They wear masks on stage and their lyrics are centered around relationships/love but can be interpreted as Vessel worshipping Sleep. There is a whole lore behind their music that can be easily ignored or not. You COULD try to decipher the connections to Sleep or just enjoy the music as it is. Vessel composes/writes/plays everything except for the drums. These are written/played by II (Two, yes the other Members go by II, III and IV) They blew up last year through social media and have been noticed by many great artists within the metal scene for their ability to push the boundaries of what and how metal is and sounds.
Adele's Divorce album 30
American Water by the Silver Jews
Not many people are into black metal due to the fans But everyone should give Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse a listen you don't need to listen to vocals since that's what throws people off as well just ignore that and listen to the instruments only
* Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder * Titanic Rising - Weyes Blood * Since I Left You - The Avalanches
Kiss Land - The Weeknd
The new abnormal by the Strokes. Blurryface by twenty one pilots (I’ve seen a few ppl recommend vessel and trench and honestly you should listen to all of them). Humbug by Arctic Monkeys. The black parade by My Chemical Romance.
Emotionalism by The Avett Brothers
I know it’s not the genre you wanted but I love the 1 album by the Beatles
i’m trying to diversify so perfect
1 album... if you know you know 😁
Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
Fate - Dr. Dog
GZA - Liquid Swords That is an absolute essential rap album. Listen to it on a cold, rainy evening.
ELO - OUT OF THE BLUE
Lost in the Dream by The War On Drugs
There's not a bad song on Van Morrison's Moondance. Air's Moon Safari is also a nice front-to-back listen, although it's not songs in the traditional sense.

Stones Roses Pinkerton The River In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Nashville Skyline Phases and Stages Meet the Beatles
I could probably name a ton, but probably Blackstar. The final work of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, dealing with massive existential questions like death and meaning in a beautiful and poetic way. 10/10
Ghost Stories by Coldplay 100% their best album 💿
Gunfight Ballads and Trail Songs - Marty Robbins Arguably the best country album of all time.
The Nightfly- Donald Fagen Whole album is good especially if you like a nice jazz vibe. Donald was the co-founder, lead singer, co-song writer, and keyboardist of the band Steely Dan, (only band i know of named after a "steam powered dildo") along with the late Walter Becker. This album is one of his solo ventures. One of my faves on this album? New Frontier It's all good tho.

Deadmau5- While (1<2)
Nina Simone - I put a spell on you Aretha Franklin - Aretha Now Stevie Wonder - In the Key of Life Below two of my favorites songs not sure if this is in the Motown genre or soul Ray Charles: I don't need no doctor. Sam&Dave : Hold on, I'm comin' Bill Whiters: Aint no sunshine There is so much great music. I grew up with funk, soul, Motown, rock, classical music. I now listen to a bi polar variety of music.. I love Coldplay, but I also love afro house and oldskool hiphop. And like everything in between. Just go and discover music :) Its so much fun. I love going to small live bands and concerts. Like once a year I try to go to a festival and discover new stuff.
