Well The Beatles (album) has at least five shitty filler tracks and it's still a great album so you're wrong.

Actually I would disagree, I don't think any of the tracks on that are filler (its my favorite Beatles album), and I didn't say that filler makes an album bad, I said that I am less likely to listen to an overly long album than one that is perfectly paced and never drags on.

Unless of course, you are saying that the Beatles album is impossible to listen to all the way through, then I would ask why you are bringing up albums that you don't like enough to listen through.

Honestly? One serious dud doesn't ruin an entire album...

I agree, but if its an album that only has ONE serious dud, then I will still listen through the dud. I am saying if I like an album AT ALL, I consider it worth my time to listen through the whole thing.

I think it says more about you guys that you are assuming that I am saying albums are bad because they have filler. I have almost 700 albums rated on RYM, and less than 50 of them are albums I would say I can't listen to all the way through. Even the albums I rated low I am perfectly happy to listen all the way through.

I like a lot of tracks on it... but I always seem to lose interest after Under a Bridge.

I can listen to the first RHCP all the way through (Hillel RIP > Frusciante), but not the rest.

Fitter Happier is obviously not good, but it isn't a song, so it doesn't detract from the experience)

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
WAT?!

 

[EatChildren]

Good to see Lateralus getting some love. Danny Carey's best work.

 

[Tashi]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
WAT?!

I skip it too

 

[Deleted member 22576]

You're missing out. It's so fucking good.
Do you skip out on Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors too?

 

[bolbronx]

[KidDork]

I was going to say anything by The Jam, but I was skipping through Sound Affects in the car today, so...

But here are some definite no-skips:

Metric--Fantasies

It's the best New Wave album that really should have the power to go back in time and be released in 1982.

Radiohead--The Bends

Adding to the applause, but it remains my favourite Radiohead album ever. The newer material, while I still buy it, just doesn't have the power for me that this album did.

The Beatles--Abbey Road

And the above posters have made me want to revisit Porcupine Tree tonight for re-evaluation.

 

[Yasae]

I think thats what itunes is for.

But if you cant listen to an entire album without skipping songs, then its a shitty album.

That would eliminate everything.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Albums without songs you skip != favorite/best albums.

Remember, even London Calling, widely considered one of the best albums ever made, has at least one shit song - Lover's Rock - and maybe even two or three if you count the hit-or-miss songs like Card Cheat and Four Horsemen.

 

[TheUsual]

Poets Of The Fall Twilight Theater

Have to quote you again. First for Bathory and now for Poets of The Fall. I'm missing out on some great bands. I'm just going on youtube and enjoying their stuff. Does this music get played much here in the States?

 

[Jarlaxle]

And the above posters have made me want to revisit Porcupine Tree tonight for re-evaluation.

I've always felt that Porcupine Tree is a slow burn on almost any album. It takes repeated runs to discover how amazing they really are. That's kind of what makes it fun and so great.

 

[Woffls]

Dark Side of the Moon, the Division Bell, Images and Words, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Kezia.
Divine Wings of Tragedy, Paradise Lost, Shadow Gallery, The Human Equation, Holy Diver
The Black Album, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, Unbreakable, Love at First Sting

This is a fraction of the albums I will listen to all the way through. Just the ones I think of first at the moment. There might be a weak track or two in there somewhere, but with prog and concept albums I listen to all of the tracks regardless.

 

[WEGGLES]

I agree, but if its an album that only has ONE serious dud, then I will still listen through the dud. I am saying if I like an album AT ALL, I consider it worth my time to listen through the whole thing.

I think it says more about you guys that you are assuming that I am saying albums are bad because they have filler. I have almost 700 albums rated on RYM, and less than 50 of them are albums I would say I can't listen to all the way through. Even the albums I rated low I am perfectly happy to listen all the way through.

I'll put up with songs that are meh, or even bad.

but Hyyerr I can not stand at all. :lol

[Magnus]

Not a single one.

There's always so much crap on every album cushioning the amazing stuff.

Wait, I listened to all of Dark Passion Play from Nightwish in one sitting the day I got it. Does that count?

 

[Vomiaouaf]

So many good picks here.

Sorry to be so shallow, but Madonna's Confessions album is still one of the rare pop gems that you can listen from A to Z without feeling bored. Price's production is peerless. Packed with simple details like an synth-heavy album ending on acoustic guitar. He's probably one of the only producers out there who rarely leaves "fillers" in his work.

 

[biggyfries]

Ween: Chocolate & Cheese
Beck: Odelay
Matthew Sweet: Blue Sky on Mars
They Might Be Giants: Flood
Beastie Boys: Check Your Head

That's all I can think of for now.

 

[KidDork]

I've always felt that Porcupine Tree is a slow burn on almost any album. It takes repeated runs to discover how amazing they really are. That's kind of what makes it fun and so great.

You're right, completely. I gave them another few listens last night, and I think I'm a fan now.

[Vorg]

blehhhhh...

You are all sorts of incorrect. Splinter is pretty much equally awesome to Bloodsport, btw.

If you like Bloodsport you should really try listening to IAMX.

EDIT: click me

 

[Blackace]

Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg - pretty much one of the best west coast album ever (after No One Can Do it Better). Perfect blend of Gfunk and old riding beats. I loved the Chronic but I am not going to lie and say I listen to the whole album like I do with Doggystyle

Straight outta of Compton - NWA - Classic, paints a really solid picture of Cali life during the colors era.. also started the West Coast movement

ATLiens - Outkast - Their best album. Good mix of Andre's poppiness and Big Boi's down south roots.

Uncle Sam's Curse - Above the Law- Sadly under-rated album from a group that features one of the better rappers verse for verse from the West Coast. Cold 187 spits all album.. good stuff
Trauma - DJ Quik - Quik is one of the few rapper/producers who does both really well. Most of his albums are great. Way 2 Funky almost made it over this one, but I really loved how he came back to his roots with the album giving the feeling of his older stuff like Way 2 Funky and Quik is the Name.

Jimi Hendrix's Experience - Jimi Hendrix - Jimi.. what else can be said?

The Documentary - The Game - listened to a bunch of this album for the first time in awhile and thought how great it sounded all together and then he proceeds to release one good song per album after that... sad..

Death Certificate- Ice Cube - God damn I'm glad y'all set it off.. Hard to think the man who made this classic album is doing kid movies.

Michael Jackson - Thriller - Mike had a pass to do anything he wanted from me because of this album

Digital Underground - Sex Packets - Sad that nobody gives Shock G any love.. They had a really solid run of albums but Sex Packets was by far the funniest.. from the wacky Humpty crap to the more artful sounds to the west coast gfunk souns the album had a bit of it all.

4.21 - Method Man - Method Man is ill.. He is so good that he deserves to be on beats from all over the map.. Tical the Prequel and this album are my favorites because the productions are so varied making them so good.

Malpractice - Redman - Red is a little rusty these days but this album was nuts.

Silkk the Shocker - Silkk the Shocker (dirty pleasure of mine) - I was a big No Limit fan in high school. Like most teenagers I was mad at the world and No Limit gave me all the angry screaming I needed. But with being said this album is pretty solid.. and the beats are stupid banging..

In a Major Way - E-40 (in truth I could have filled half the list with 40 water albums) Man so many great albums from E-40 it was hard to pick one.. so I picked the one that started his national career instead of being sold only on the west coast. But in truth almost all of his albums I listen to start to finish

No One Can Do it Better - The D.O.C- annnnnd to me maybe the greatest rap album of all time. I know people will say Illmatic, Erik B and Rakim and many other classics... but if you have never heard this album and you are a hip hop listen to it and tell you honestly think it was recorded in 1988/1989.. The DOC pretty much helped create the West Coast sound that was popular through the 90s... And he did it with one album.. Before he messed up his voice box in a car crash.. then he pretty much made Snoop by writing for him..

 

[Revolution number one]

Actually I would disagree, I don't think any of the tracks on that are filler (its my favorite Beatles album), and I didn't say that filler makes an album bad

Revolution number 9 is fucking garbage:lol and look at my user name, I'm a huge beatles fan

[besada]

I grew up on albums, so I listen to entire albums all the time, but these fifteen (randomly picked) are all ones that once I listen to a bit, I have to hear the whole album:

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick - One of my favorite albums of all time. If I hear even a lick of it, I'll have to hear the whole 45+ minute song/album.

Sisters of Mercy - First Last and Always - Not even my favorite Sisters album, but for me it evokes a time and a place so strongly that the nostalgia captures me.

The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree - I listen to this entire album at least once a month. There are so many songs on this album that speak to me that I would have bought a copy for every song if I had to.

Lemon Jelly - Both .ky and Lost Horizons -- Every song amazing. I would literally kidnap their families to get another album of this caliber.

Low - The Great Destroyer - A wonderful album that moves from quiet to loud to insane, and back to quiet. Not much like most Low albums.

XTC - Apple Venus - I'm an XTC freak, but Apple Venus was the first album they put out after their long protracted struggle with Virgin music. Great songs, done with swelling strings and woodwinds instead of electric guitars and keyboards.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut - One of the least favorite Floyd albums is my favorite. It's distilled Waters in agony, which is the bit I always liked about Floyd. It's one of those albums that killed a band, so you must respect its mojo.

Paul Simon - Songs from the Capeman - Paul Simon, Reuben Blades, Marc Anthony and a musical about the life of Salvador Agron. Certainly not for everyone, but it moves me very deeply.

Violent Femmes - Hallowed Ground - Country Death Song starts the album and It's Gonna Rain ends it. Never found a good place to stop. I've owned this on vinyl, cassette, and DVD.

Liz Phair - Girly Sound(sorta) - Not actually an album, but a collection of demos prior to Exile in Guyville I got from a friend in Chicago. I converted them to MP3 years ago. They eventually released all of them except a couple, but in different versions. I got used to these. I always listen to them in one big orgy.

Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction - Another once a month album. Almost always while I'm driving.

Bentley Rhythm Ace - Bentley Rhythm Ace - I want to fuck this entire album and give it babies.

1 Giant Leap - 1 Giant Leap - Not only every song on the album, but ever bar of every song. I routinely force people to listen to this album. It's always on my memory stick.

Soul Coughing - El Oso - Another band-ending album. So cohesive, so lyrically beautiful and funky.

That's fifteen, but I never got around to Key Lime Pie by Camper Van Beethoven. I love albums.

 

[butter_stick]

I just want to say The Unicorns were great, and it's nice to see some love for WWCOHWWG

[EatChildren]

Nice Placebo mention. Black Market Music is a classic in my book and something me and my girlfriend hold near and dear to our hearts. Great album.

Pleasantly surprised by a lot of the things posted in this thread. Not the typical GAF.

Everyone I've spoken to about Placebo seems to like Without You I'm Nothing more than Black Market Music, but I much prefer the latter. I've grown out of Placebo over the years, but I still really like the variety and sound of Black Market Music. Spite & Malice, Black-Eyed, and Slave to the Wage are so good.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Boston - Boston
Eight Songs, seven of which are fantastic, and the last one which is okay. It also features the best guitar solo ever played.

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Such a great album from start to finish. This album nails the classic rock feeling. Also one of the most talented bands out there. Not a weak song on the album, all the songs deserve radio play.
