OT: What Album Do You Listen To All The Way Through?
Mid afternoon in Shanghai drinking and listening to music. Looking for feedback from the Board on albums (I say that in a generic sense in today's digital world) you put on and listen to all the way through.
Most of mine are old school since, one, I'm old (not like Herm old though), and, two, I just download one off songs these days.
Please enlighten me on what albums you play and listen to from start to finish so I can download some more music.
A few off the top of my head that I listen to from start to finsih.
Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys
Kid A - Radiohead
It's Dark and Hell is Hot - DMX
Gentlemen - Afghan Whigs
The Roots Come Alive - The Roots
Room On Fire - The Strokes
Bossanova - The Pixies
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Disintegration - The Cure
Nevermind - Nirvana
Life After Death - Notorious BIG
Murmur - REM
Pleased To Meet Me - The Replacements
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Pretty Much Any Grateful Dead Live
That's enough....yes, I listen to The Beatles and The Smiths too...
EDIT: As expected you all came through! I spent way too many hours checking out a lot of different music today and dowloading quite a bit. Now it is sleep time in Shanghai. Thanks!

Recently....
Just about any Radiohead, Wilco, Arcade Fire, or the National album I tend to listen to from start to finish. Partially, I like to start with Pablo Hunny and go chronically all the way up to the King of Limbs, and then work my way back down. It's like weightlifting, but with radiohead.

Nice. That album is great.
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
Dylan - Love and Theft
Grateful Dead - For the Faithful (acoustic)

Recently (as in today), Bonobo-Black Sands and Burial-Untrue. I listen to a ton of electronic music, so most of it is in mixes.
...but my all time favorite electronic album is...
Shpongle - Nothing Lasts but Nothing is Lost
It isn't for everyone, but I can tell you without hesitation that if it resonates with you it will change your life.

In terms of ALBUMS (vinyl, of course), I listen to all of my albums all the way through. I don't buy albums that I don't plan on listening all the way through.
But my top 5 are:
Arcae Fire- The Suburbs
The XX- self titled
Bill Withers- The Best Of
The Black Keys- The Big Come up
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros- Up From Below
I never skip a song when I listen to The XX.
Their new album comes out in September.
The only one I listen all the way through is Emotionalism by the Avett Brothers.
Damn I was wondering if someone would break from the mold of adult alternative, grunge era or classic rock and branch out. The Avett Brothers are outstanding song writers and extemely creative. I caught the Carolina Chocolate Drops last year and they were unique as well. Old Crow Medicine Show...if you enjoy a folk twist.
