You know the kind of album that you gotta hear the whole thing because every song is fantastic and hearing one song just leaves you hanging?

Examples to give an idea what I'm talking about. (Low hanging fruit I suppose.)

Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon

Waylon Jennings - Dreaming My Dreams

The Beatles - Abbey Road

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street

Led Zeppelin - I, II, IV, Houses of the Holy

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew

The Allman Brothers - At Filmore East

Merle Haggard - Big City

U2 - Joshua Tree

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Radiohead - OK Computer

Cake - Fashion Nugget

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

The Byrds - Sweethearts of the Rodeo

Jimi Hendrix - Axis:Bold As Love

Tom Petty - Wildflowers

Beck - Odelay

Buena Vista Social Club

Get the idea?

Sure would love to hear some great new stuff.

Been in love with the new Wilco offering (Cruel Country) the last few days.

Iron Maiden - Live After Death - world slavery tour
Type O Negative - October Rust

Led Zep II, Allmans at Filmore, & Hendrix Blues stay in or close to my CD changer.

Not likely I'd hear anything that will stick with me like LZ II has, but I welcome the chance.

SRV- Love at El Mocambo
Alter Bridge- Blackbird, One Day Remains
Soundgarden- Superunknown

The Carpenter Collection

The Black Crowes....Shake your Money Maker.

Wishbone Ash, Argus

ya!

GWB

Blind Faith!

ya!

GWB

Waylon's Honky Tonk Heroes album is worthy as well.

Ten Years After...

ya!

GWB

Dangit Geedub! I was halfway through revisiting Superunknown and had to cut bait and spin Argus!

Gotta say, I'm huge on the album concept. I want the whole creative picture , not just a single or two! Bands that think in terms of singles are lame!

That said, the "Deluxe Edition" schidt is HUGELY Lame!

I don't want 3 dozen out takes of stuff Miles wasn't happy with!

Maybe I'm just picky? LOL

As is "Are you Ready For the Country?"

Waylon put out some great stuff!

10/4





Disraeli Gears

ya!

GWB

I listen to most stuff on Spotify these days and I'm disappointed how much great stuff has an expanded "NOW EVEN GREATER HITS!" crap put on it. If I wanna hear The Beach Boys fart in a microphone, I'll Google that crap thanks! LOL

GeeDub killing it!

Always outdoors, not so much....

Peter Tosh - Legalize It

Seriously, it is a great listen start to finish.

Been in Bob Marley mode last few weeks. I'll def give it a spin!

Thanks Timbermaster!

ya!


GWB

Since you like both jazz, and the idea of an album being a whole, how about Brubeck’s “Time Out” ?

Otherwise I feel your picks are indeed stellar, and have me looking at some stuff I’ve never heard of.

Oh, John Hiatt “Bring the Family” was a very long time favorite of mine as well.

Kris Kristoferson, Silver Tounged Devil

Fantastic stuff on the At Fillmore East album.

I cheered when that Fugger retired!

Hate Kristopherson!

Been awhile, but that one is on the bigger list.

Getz Gilberto too of course.

Good one!

OK, I can't stand that Fugger, but I'm open minded and trust your judgement NVhunter. I'll give it a spin once maybe twice. Maybe it'll cure my hatred for the guy.

Funny every time I spell Fugger it gets capitalized. LOL!

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet

Arrested Development ‎– 1992
3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of

I'm still Peter Toshing, but it'll go on my list.

Traffic Low spark of high heeled boys
Stone Temple pilots. Songs from the Vatican gift shop
U2 Joshua Tree. I wore out 3 tapes before the advent of CD
Zeppelin I,II
Alman brothers Eat a peach. I think we got 3 copies sent to us from Columbia House. 12 albums for a penny! Scammers!

Band called Alpha album Comes from Heaven. It makes women think you are the coolest an sexist man alive.

ya!

GWB

NWA straight outta compton

You know Gr8ful Doug sells optics on the forums?

His brother played guitar for Anthrax back in the day. Next time you buy Binos from those guys ask him about it.

Slayer, Seasons in the Abyss

Had an uncle that did some production on that one.

Pronounced it "Ap-oh-see"

Crazy times back then. Said he shot up with Beck a time or two. Yikes!

That's extremely cool. Anthrax doesn't get the love of Metallica etc, but Among the Living is one of the best thrash albums made. Not a bad song on it.

Joshua Tree is beyond stellar and I hate to admit how much so! LOL

Great stuff!

Absolutely.

ZZ Top Eliminator
AC DC Back in Black
Led Zeppelin IV
Credence Clear Water Revival - greatest hits

I'll see you, and raise you Run-DMC Raising Hell.....

Back in Black! Shame it didn't make my first post!

Greatest Hits? F that...

Cosmos Factory!

He lost me when he licked that sledge hammer!

Has anyone said Lynyrd Skynyrd, Second Helping yet?

Best southern rock album ever made.

Rage Against the Machine, self title

YEAH!

Fugg you I won't do what you tell me!

there was a song from that area and maybe those bands that had a line.........Helicopters on the rooftop or choppers on the roof...........Anybody recognize that one ca. 1987?

Fear of a Black Planet, PE

Tool - Undertow

Another great!

Produced by a chick from Chico, CA too!

DOH!

Temples of Boom.

The Boomtown Rats…The Fine Art of Surfacing

Loverboy…Get Lucky

AC/DC…Back in Black

Stevie Salas…Colorcode

Whitesnake…Slide It In

Accept…Breaker

Every time I hear this song i think of this scene from Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones dancing a jig to "What I'm looking for"




followed closely by.....



ya!

GWB

Cosmos Factory crossed my mind, but I have the greatest hits on my phone and it wins by a nose. It's hard to pick a bad CCR album, that group was a machine like AC DC.

Crazy he was 19-20 yo doing a lot of it too!

Nirvana?

LOL

Get it?

LOL

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Damn good.

Villains is up there too.

Love the scratch of old vinyl.

Dunno if mentioned already...

Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

John Cougar…American Fool, not so much for the 2 hits, more for all the other songs. Danger List being my favorite.

I'll give that one a spin! Thanks!

Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd guys will dig this one. Great stuff! Wilco - Sky Blue Sky.

Great schidt!

Best electric blues ever.

Hendrix

Zeppelin II & IV

Priest

G-N-R appetite for destruction, but also I and II use you illusion if you had enough weed

AC DC High Voltage

Skynyrd….. EVERYTHING They released.

Damn!

Yep.

Downward Spiral was fantastic. Must revisit that one.

I'm on the run the cops got my gun, and right about now I'm gonna have some fun!

Add Nine Tonight also by Seger. He put out two of the best live albums of all time.

AIC Dirt and Best of the Box.

Slum you’re on fire. Paul’s boutique is in the top 10 of all time, easily.

VH 1984

Drop Dead Legs just had THE Groove!

NWA straight outta Compton pioneered an entire genre of rap

Any cypress hill album

Any rage against the machine album

AC/DC Powerage

Pantera far beyond driven

Good one, Gdub. had that one spinning yesterday along with this one.

Cypress Hill

Dang...

Alice In Chains dirt and jar of flies are monsters start to finish

If you like classic melodic hard rock/metal, give this a listen. Features former Rainbow vocalist Doogie White. Amazing album that nobody knows...

Wore those fuggers out.

Funny, I associate Cypress Hill with Pantera Vulgar Display as they were both huge at the same time.

Here comes HiggyBaby with the Rush....

Cycles of weed are constantly grown,
Somebody give me a razor to cut clones…

I’d like to stop but it feels so good
20 plants stinking up the whole neighborhood…

Or

LOL, he was more a poet than a great singer.
A Bob Dylan kind of deal for me. Give Sunday Morning Coming Down a listen. Then maybe Me and Bobby Magee.
Late 60's and the 70's is my era.

LOL

God please no!!

Two reasons I hate him!

These pigs tryna blow my house down

Paul's Boutique rocking the Durham hood.

Can't believe Kiss aint showed up!

lol

Had 2

Stoners....

In my heyday I did some damage but those days are long gone… cypress hill had a sound and style like nobody else in a time when it was hard to carve a niche

Who you tryin ta get crazy with ese?

System of a Down

Never could pin it down to one LP, i’ve plucked 2-3 from Hypnotize, SOAD, Toxicity, Mesmerize for my ATV, deer stand play list

I didn't go through the entire thread but was pleasantly surprised to see a few Soundgarden Superunknown references. What a truly great album, and it helped me get over Cobain blowing his head off.

For “newer” I’ll go with the release by Staind: Break the Cycle. Great album. Released around 2005 IIRC.

What got you over Chris strangling himself while jacking off?

Asking for Beave...

Is that what happened? Schit I hope not, lol.

Phenomenal album

Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

Good stuff

I’ll get no love here but several Six feet Under albums are staggering all the way thru..

True Carnage is a brutal piece of work

Ice-T made an appearance on that album on one bullet left for you hybrid lovers…

Ala body count….

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump

Grandaddy - Sumday

Marty Robbins was the lead singer on their first album right?

That'll help gain some traction....

ya!

GWB

LOL… I suspect there will be no traction gained with Chris Barnes and company… but who knows slum is good for a surprise here and there!

Impulse to disembowel?

Jesus.

Shorty the pimp

Turn. It. Up.

Can't.

Cadaver Mutilator is where I draw the line.

Yikes!

Been famous since 1983

Kiss…Destroyer

Alice Cooper…Billion Dollar Babies

Did I miss it? Or was Bat Out of Hell mentioned ?

ya!

GWB

Like five times...

Peter Green...

Dang

Out of nowhere, Marilyn Manson dropped an album in 2015, The Pale Emperor, that is absolutely one of his best.

Lol, serves me right for not paying attention

I listen to weird stuff.


Theater of Tragedy - Aegis. They changed style and fans complained, on album Assembly. Club type music, I dont care....i like the whole album.

If i want mean ill spin Mortiis. Like NIN only nastier.The Great Deceiver. Not as harsh, more music....is Perfectly Defect. The Smell of Rain is different album, he went to through various styles. That one isnt techno but dud ears often call it such.

The Birthday Massacre - Nothing and Nowhere.

Still spin Sarah mcLachlans Fumbling Towards Ecstacy and Kate Bushs to he Kick Inside.

Mostly its Type O mofuggin Negative.

And classic Maiden ( new album sucks ass ).

Like Lacuna Coils album Comalies. Shes no Amy Lee but tolerable.

When I just want minimal music but lots of energy, disc 1 from Henry Rollins the only way to know for sure.

Had an OK collection but chit canned 3/4 of it two or three years ago.

Nah, I got buddies say I listen to weird stuff.

They'd rock Uncle Kracker back in the day so.....

Meh off top of my head didn't see mentioned.

The Clash- Combat Rock
Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill
Albert King- Born Under a Bad Sign
The Dramatics-Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get

Stax discography.

Mad Season - Above
White Zombie - La Sexorcisto

Mad Season was pretty good, but not great all the way through in my opinion.

White Zombie, I'll have to give it another listen.

^^^
Gayer than a three dollar bill

LMAO

Got this one on now. Not too big on auto tune, but as far as new country goes, not too bad.

Surprised at the lack of N bombs....

You just recommended Morgan Wallen and White Zombie is gay?

JFC!

Queensryche Operation Mindcrime

...

AC/DC Back in Black.
Foreigner Double Vision.

Faith No More’s Angel Dust is this kind of an Album.

It may be autobiographical, loosely put. Hard to
Describe but the songs tell some long sordid story of life and seem interconnected. The sum of the work is greater than any individual song.

It’s heavy music. Not for everybody.

Gram Parsons, Grievous Angle.

Bruford - One of A Kind

This thread needs some fresher tunes!

Jim James - Eternally Even

Brent Cobb - Providence Canyon

Marty Stewart And His Fabulous Superlatives - Way Out West

Roger Waters - Is this the life we really want?

Father John Misty - I love you, Honeybear

The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding

Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free

Dawes - North Hills, Nothing Is Wrong, Stories Don't End, All Your Favorite Bands

Didn't see that half time thing coming at the chorus. Pretty cool.

Get yourself some Big Mama.

Hig...saw Zombie in concert down here in my youth...one of the best shows I've ever been to.

One of my all time favorites...still and will always be Paul's Boutique.

Had a VHS tape titled Skills to Pay the Bills...good times... ALL the great videos.

Que' Pasa!

GWB

Alice In Chains, Dirt and Facelift albums
Blind Melon, Blind Melon
Temple of the Dog

One more........






ya!

GWB

Thick as a Brick! Good stuff! Not much a Tull fan but that one is really good. If I remember some child prodigy wrote that poem and they made a 35 min song out of it.

10 pages and not one Joe Bonamassa or Samantha Fish album?

Kinda telling! LOL

No Rick Braun either.......



Quien Sabe,

GWB

Love this album

I hope Chuck Mangione isn't gonna get trotted out GeeDub.

You must have been reading my mail!


That was next on my playlist!





TFF


ya!

GWB

UFO Live Album, “Strangers in the Night”. Regarded as one of the best if not the best live recorded concerts. Incredible.

I'm late to the party but was gonna list this as well. A window rattler.

Yes The Yes Album
The Who Who's Next

Excellent album.

Savoy Brown "Looking In". Somebody will find it. Good chit.

You wanted the whole album?

It's a fine one:

Velvet Revolver-----contraband
The Cure----- All Mixed Up

Bowie--------Ziggie Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

There's like a zillion more!

Let's not forget this one:

Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People

Great stoner music

A few that I didn’t see mentioned



Not an album but one of Santana’s best
Song

Little Feat - Last Record Album

Best song ever.

Damn near long enough to be it’s own album.

John Prine--John Prine

Don't think this was ever released as an album, but I'm sure it gives the idea of the group in one incarnation:

I tend to think of albums of something I listen to straight thru with headphones in the proper "mood". In no particular order:


Dire Straits - Love Over Gold --- Telegraph Road is 14 minutes of simply amazing

Pink Floyd - The Wall ---Has new meaning after reading about Roger Waters and his father

Neil Diamond - Hot August Night ---Probably peaked in 1972 with this live album.

The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta

U2 - Rattle and Hum

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way

Elton John - Madman Across the Water

Rush - Moving Pictures

Boston - Boston

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

Agree on Elton John - Madman Across the Water; it's epic music. Would be on my desert island top 10 list. No telling how many times I have listened to it; start to finish on the vinyl I bought in 1971.
Would add Buckingham Nicks to the list. Saw them live; young Stevie was FINE.

Another Police one on my list would be

This guy should be better known, but he aint. (Total hippy music being recommended to a bunch of old hunters/shooters I'm aware.)

Tulsas own The Flaming Lips best record so far. This album is best with headphones. Wayne Coyne (vocals, guitar, producer)is a major audiophile and this is a beautiful sounding recording with all sorts of sounds spinning around your head. Magnificent.

Jane’s addiction Ritual de lo habitual. One the craziest night I ever spent was during this tour.


Since YouTube is gay as Fugk, It’s the video for Three days.

You were on tour with Janes Addiction in their hey-day?

Yes indeed it is, Geno and rifletom!

If I can be so crass as to peel out one of my all-time favorites by them. Lots of memories created listening to this song, and some forgotten. LOL.

PS- I was there.

Bayfront Center, St. Petersburg, FL, United States May 5,.1974

Their sound was a lot heavier in person.

Iron Maiden- Killers, Judas Priest- Point of entry, Saxon- Wheels of steel.

So far as great whole albums ...

Boston
Aerosmith - Rocks
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Steve Miller Band - Book of Dreams
Bad Company - Desolation Angels (their first 2 are pretty damned good as well)
Metallica - "the black album"
Ted Nugent - Weekend Warrior
Black Label Society - Catacombs of the Black Vatican
Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful
Styx - Pieces of Eight
Kansas - Leftoverture & Point of No Return
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
Rush - 2112, Moving Pictures
Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown
Led Zeppelin - IV
Van Halen - Van Halen

and on and on and on ...

Points for naming a Steve Miller album that aint "Greatest Hits"

Point deduction for Metallica "the black album"

LOL

One for Geno and CA and other Boomers who remember a time when you could find stuff like this on Underground Radio.

[video:youtube][/video]

Great old album here.

Dio : holy diver
Ugly casanova : sharpen your teeth
Gibby haynes and his problem: self titled
Butthole surfers : independent worm saloon
Mini mansions : self titled
Ween : white pepper
Ween : 12 golden country greats
Burn witch burn : self titled

Ill think of 20 more later. Those are some albums that i cant get tired of.

Ween!

Quebec is up there for sure!

Good stuff

I love quebec. And shinola. Chocolate and cheese. Pure guava. But i picked my 2 favorites. White pepper and 12 golden country greats. But transdermal celebration may be one of their best jams ever.

Among his tribe is a close second place on that album.

Got a few buddies that make a huge point to see em live once a year.

Yikes!

I tried to buy tickets to their show in colorado with primus. But i was out at sea on terrible satellite wifi, and my card had been shut down due to fraud. So didnt happen.

I should have added,
tom waits : bone machine
Luther wright and the wrongs : rebuilding the wall.
Rem: lifes rich pageant

Alan Holdsworth- Metal Fatigue

Lots of the Hellecasters stuff is great. Travis Larson has some nice stuff out there (but he's at his best when not trying to be Steve Morse).

An old favorite: Leo Kottke - Ice Water. The man is incredible.

Great album, right up there with Murmur. That's the thing with alot of bands, by the time the 'masses' get to know them, they're already way past their prime. REM is a perfect example
