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!
fthrsn- Hysteria
Dark Side of the Moon: because if you don't listen to the whole album in order the songs don't make any sense.
Nighthawks at the Diner: great live album, very early Waits.
J Dilla - Donuts [in particular, but pretty much anything with him, I will listen to in its entirety]
D'Angelo - Voodoo
Marvin Gaye - pretty much anything by him.
Serge Gainsbourg - ditto (except for some of his conceptual 80s stuff).
More recent types of stuff that I generally don't skip through - Amy Winehouse, Grizzly Bear, Beck, White Stripes, Santigold.
Any jazz album or classical album. Reggae is the same way for me. If it is on, it stays on.
Plus one for anything by Marvin.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I don't have enough points to create a topic. Devastating news is developing that there has been a shooting today at Auburn. Early reports are that two football players are dead and one is in the hospital.
