List ten albums as the title says, that you feel is a complete work from beginning to end......where the message of the music is truly fulfilled by the greatness of the development of the album itself.
For instance: Dark Side Of The Moon has individual songs that are stunning, but as a complete album it is so much more of an experience.....whereas I love jeff buckley's Grace (every song on it is great) but I don't feel it needs to be listened to in complete context to be fully appreciated.....so the goal of this thread is to mention albums that seem to provide a message, be it musically or even in concept, that is just not the same if you pick out songs from the album
Please don't make a list of Pink Floyd........keep it to 1 album per artist
My list would read in no order:
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
The Rolling Stones - Exile On Mainstreet
The Clash - London Calling
The Beatles - The White Album
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band
Those 10 albums for me are like a world to themselves......When I start on the first track I listen all the way through.......because the experience is the album itself
I can't wait to read other top 10s.......
