don't skip a track....

[donnie_darko]

Last week a friend and I were discussing music....and we started to think about albums you can listen all the way through, without having to skip a song.

I don't mean that you can endure the bad songs, I mean cd's where you actually want to listen to every single song. I found that most of the cd's i could think of weren't even from my favorite artists...

Rancid (and out come the wolves), Radiohead (OK Computer), Summer at Shatter Creek (self titled)..and a couple more came to mind.

so what cd's can you listen all the way through?

NIN - The Downward Spiral
Tool - Undertow
Rage Against The Machine's first album
And The Doors' first album

[underdog]

godsmack (godsmack)

I don't skip Godsmack songs because I like to try to figure out who they're ripping off with each song.

[JPMNICK]

Ready to die - Notorious BIG
Art of Story Telling - Slick Rick

[drusilla]

I don't skip Godsmack songs because I like to try to figure out who they're ripping off with each song.

i dont like to think when i'm being entertained

[Devo37]

depeche mode - black celebration

[PapaBear]

I woulda thought you'd pick something by Devo.

[Death Metal Moe]

I don't think I have one. I do like all the songs on some CDs I own, but I usually am not in the mood to listen to them all the time.

[Devo37]

I woulda thought you'd pick something by Devo.

woulda been too obvious! but since you mention it, devo - shout (my current sig-pic)

[weekapaugjz]

arcade fire - funeral
brand new - deja entendu
the honorary title - anything else but the truth
modest mouse - good news for people who love bad news
the raconteurs - broken boy soldiers
maximo park - a certain trigger
any white stripes
and of course, any phish

[donnie_darko]

i can't believe some of you make it through those entire cd's....seriously...

and "any (insert band name)" i can't buy either..

any white stripes? i can't make it through their new cd...ugh the black keys latest release was a lot more impressive.

[MikeB]

can we add you have to be sober to this?

The last audioslave album was solid all the way through.
Strays by janes addiction.
Problem with this topic and Public Enemy albums is that the feature S1W tracks and "skits" if you will.

[Bay Ridge Tim]

A whole lot...
Recently:
A Grand Don't Come for Free - The Streets
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Deltron 3030 - Deltron

why can't you believe it? music is a personal choice. personally, hearing one radiohead song makes me want to vomit, but you can listen to the entire cd.

[weekapaugjz]

Every Ted Leo + Pharmacists CD

good call.

[AJDELAWARE]

I was having a similar conversation about this the other day.

Have their been any recent albums where you NEED to listen to every track, in the order they are on the cd, in order to get the "message"?

I think Dashboard Confessional put one out recently, but cant say I bothered to listen to that one.


CDs that I can listen to straight thru:

Saves The Day - Cant Slow Down
Lifetime - Jerseys Best Dancers
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Misanthropia
Stryder - Masquerade

[AJDELAWARE]

brand new - deja entendu


I can listen to the first cd on a loop, but I just couldn't get into this one at all.


Oh I thought of another,

Fairweather - Anything they did is gold.

[EddieMoscone]

Going by what's on my ipod only:

Bjork: Post
Brand Nubian: One for All
Buena Vista Social Club
D'Angelo: Brown Sugar

Deftones: White Pony
Diamond D and the Psychotic Neurotics: Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop
Dilated Peoples: Expansion Team, The Platform
DJ Shadow: Endtroducing, The Private Press
The Genius: Liquid Swords
Fiona Apple: Tidal, When the Pawn
J-Live: The Best Part
Jedi Mind Tricks: Violent by Design
MF Doom: MM...Food?
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew, Sketches of Spain
Pearl Jam: Benaroya Hall 10/22/2003
Prince: Purple Rain
Queens of the Stone Age: Songs for the Deaf
Radiohead: The Bends
System of a Down: Steal This Album
Thelonious Monk: Alone in San Francisco
TV on the Radio: Young Liars

There are probably tons more, but I must have around 1000 cds. Plus I almost always listen to whole albums on principle since that is how the "artists" meant for it to be heard, but even musical genius find it hard not to have 1 skipable track on their album.

you should check older U2 shit like BOY...they had that youthful energy back in the day. You should also definitely give lullabies to paralyze another try. Very sexy album.

[Nothing Sound]

I can listen to any Pearl Jam CD straight through, no skipping.

[underdog]

Queens of the Stone age-Lullabies to Paralyze

Ooh, I missed that one.

And I'd like to add Era Vulgaris but Queens to my list, also.

You know what .. I could go on forever. I usually don't keep albums if I don't fully enjoy them. I like to know I can put something on and let it play. Who needs to walk over and skip tracks? If what you're listening to was made by a real artist then you shouldn't be skipping tracks. A real artist arranges music for an album start to finish, not just a few hits that will sell well on the radio.

[Kublakhan61]

My favourite album to listen to after touching kids, and YES, must be listened to start to finish. Pete's "coming out" album.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

I hate threads like this because there are way too many great albums to choose from. I'm sure I'll forget some.

David Bowie-- Ziggy Stardust
The Specials-- The Specials
The Jam-- All Mod Cons
Kate Bush-- Never Forever
The Replacements-- Let it Be
The Clash-- London Calling

[deepinthewoods]

http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGCOVERS/music/cover200/drd600/d603/d603572d9ti.jpg

Especially retarded because it's a double, but it's like their white album.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/71/XTC_Mummer.jpg/200px-XTC_Mummer.jpg

Another one of those odd favourites. The fucking limeys went and stuck 6 bonus tracks IN THE MIDDLE of the original CD version. I'm pretty sure that's why they got the mad cow disease so bad. God hates an interrupted album sequence.

http://fs.tistory.com/attach/9262/1186868575.jpg

I never seem to seek out individual tracks on this one either. The album version without bonus tracks is actually much stronger than with the bonus tracks. Why? Secret nerd reasons.

Well, back to kid touching...

[torker]

A: don't skip a track....
Q: Things you might hear during Billy Staples autopsy?

[Garyisajoke]

Surprisingly, there aren't that many - even some of my favorites have tracks I get bored with.

Van Morrison - Moondance
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Bowie - Ziggy, Hunky Dory and Young Americans
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model (I like "My Aim is True" better, but I don't skip a song here)
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Lennon - Plastic Ono Band

Noticeably absent: Beatles, Stones, "Pinkerton," the Clash, White Stripes, the Smiths, "My Aim is True," Sublime... good thread. And the Pink Floyd and King Crimson is kind of a technicality because you HAVE to listen to them in their entirety to get the full experience. It's not like a collection of singles.

[donnie_darko]

i can't believe anyone can make it through an entire descendants cd...ugh

portishead live in nyc..

weezer blue, but i think that's mostly from memories.

i never realized how good the postal service was until iron and wine covered a few of their songs, sort of like Tori and smells like teen spirit

[IamPixie]

i can't believe anyone can make it through an entire descendants cd...ugh


you obviously have no taste.

[PhishHead]

any single Okkervil River album i can listen from beginning to end over and over again
any Tilly and the Wall album
Nickel Creek

[GreatAmericanZero]

i dont believe in skipping tracks. i need to listen to the album as a pure. i dont even like listening to a half of an album more than the other half

[donnie_darko]

i love tilly and the wall.....i love having people listen and try to figure out there's a trap dancer..



i have no taste cause i can't sit through songs about cheeseburgers?
YEAH that makes sense.

Queensryche tried to bring it back with Mindcrime 2, but for the most part, "Artists" are just trying to plow through enough singles to make a "record"

Record does not equal Album.

[realmenhatelife]

whatever, nerd.

This dude cited the cure and bright eyes as emo bands in another thread, so yeah take any descendants hate with a grain of salt.

Kind of obscure, but "The Honest Hour" by Assembly of Dust is a must listen from beginning to end.

Oh yeah, and totally agree with "Out Comes the Wolves".

bright eyes are emo! wtf man, whats more emo then conner oberst whining about his 2nd grade girlfriend dumping him?

[commish13]

On Queens of the Stone Age -- I liked Lullabies to Paralyze, but I thought it was their weakest CD overall. Era Vulgaris is better, and Songs for the Deaf is just a FANTASTIC album. That's the one I always listen to all the way through.

I'll add that as well as Offspring's 'Americana'.

[donnie_darko]

if you don't think bright eyes is an emo band, you must be a new fan.


conner is the posterboy of emo...... and the cure are nothing BUT emo, f'ng close to me is emo as FUCK.

Huge love for this band and have had all but the latest in constant rotation for years. I think Lullabies has been their "sexiest" album, as Pixie said, something about it is just very dirty and wrong.

Not impressed with Era Vulgaris but im seeing them again this October and hoping my mind will change.

Im gonna say
minor threat- discog
gwar - america must be destroyed
dead milkmen - big lizard in my backyard
clutch- elephant riders
rilo kiley- takeoffs and landings

The new Rilo Kiley is kind of wild, very funky at times. Takeoffs and Landings is amazing, I dig most of the songs on More Adventurous, and the solo/collaboration album Jenny Lewis did (I think with the Watson twins) is pure greatness as well.

How can you not listen to the Minor Threat Discog straight thru - shits only 25 minutes long tops (Straightedge for 10 years and still kickin baby)

[AJDELAWARE]

i never realized how good the postal service was until iron and wine covered a few of their songs, sort of like Tori and smells like teen spirit

Iron and Wine's cover of Such Great Heights is 100000x's better then the Postal Service version.

You don't seem to get that whatever 'emo' music is it has to be defined by common musical qualities, not fucking lyrical content. If every song about feelings is emo then every fucking band that ever fucking existed is emo. Led Zep? Emo. Body Count? Emo. John Phillip Sousa? Emo.

I think what we determined is that there is no such thing as emo as a music genre, its simply a fashion statement.

[realmenhatelife]

I think what we determined is that there is no such thing as emo as a music genre, its simply a fashion statement.

This is a hugely ignorant statement. I started typing out a response to it and gave up, its not worth it. I can list bands that are actually emo and talk about thier image, I can list stereotypical 'emo' bands and talk about their imagine, I can talk about the musical style and what makes them sonically and aesthetically different, but it will slide off your head like water off a ducks ass.

Your crazy. I saw your list on that other thread. You are way off base. Saves The Day? Lifetime? Wild! Hell I even know members of some of those bands and they would laugh if I called them an emo band.

You blew your musical knowledge when you said that "every band in the jersey scene is a ska band or ex members of" - I can name 50 bands that are so far from this - and referred to rudeboys as skinheads...pick up SPIRIT OF 69 and learn something kid.

Wait. Are you saying Saves The Day isn't emo? Because if you are saying that, then you've lost any sort of credibility you had to talk about what is and isn't emo.

[AJDELAWARE]

The first 2 saves the day cd's -

Cant Slow Down and Through Being Cool are straight up pop punk cds,
the acoustic ep - maybe Ill let you consider that, but even then - its just an acoustic album,
Stay What You Are - indie rock nonsense.
Sound The Alarm - indie rock nonsense
The B-sides album - most of the songs were around the era of the first 2 albums and keep that general feel to them.

I mean they would be a terrible band to use as a guide for any genre - seeing how they have put out 6 albums and (with the excpetion of the first 2) each one has a completely different sound to it.

Its just music why put labels on shit who cares listen to whatever you like.

You will throw away all other albums that you previously listened to all the way through, I promise, he will not disappoint, and if he does, then you should be a dead person that used to live on earth but then found out quite suddenly 'holy shit, I need to not be alive anymore, because this music isn't reaching me.'

Your crazy. I saw your list on that other thread. You are way off base. Saves The Day? Lifetime? Wild! Hell I even know members of some of those bands and they would laugh if I called them an emo band.

You blew your musical knowledge when you said that "every band in the jersey scene is a ska band or ex members of" - I can name 50 bands that are so far from this - and referred to rudeboys as skinheads...pick up SPIRIT OF 69 and learn something kid.

The jersey scene/ska thing is like a scenester joke that I'm not gonna explain.
I'm not threatened being called 'kid'.
And at one point in history, prior to the current perception of emo music, the drumming, vocals and guitar styles that the bands I listed are breaking would've been considered emo or proto emo. I'm done talking about it, its so not worth it to try put forth some bands I think are really great and say 'Hey, everyone talks shit on emo and only associates emo with some terrible bands, here's something that might alter your perception a little.' Apparently not only is that insulting it also invites the opinions of dudes that dont know what theyre talking about. I feel like one of those Krishna's that started getting swastika tattoos to 'take it back.'

Now Krsna core, thats some good shit.

108, Shelter, Inside Out (ZACH DE LA ROCHA)!

Why the fuck is this emo bullshit bleeding into other threads? You have your emo discussion thread- take it back there and keep your bullshit to yourself.

Emo = Goth + pussy.

Getting back on track:
Peter Gabriel Passion. (Smoke a fatty and crank it up)
