Favorite albums?
What albums do yall listen to from beginning to end? There are plenty of artists and bands that I like with great songs but sometimes the album has filler in between the main tracks. Which albums do you feel like have little to no filler? I’d put up Chief Keef’s Finally Rich (debut album) Licensed To Ill by the Beastie Boys, maybe Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles, Curtis (1970) by Curtis Mayfield and Cuba Libre by Carlos Puebla. What are your favorites?
No Gods / No Managers by Choking Victim is all bangers. The songs Money, Fuck America, and Praise the Sinners all sample Parenti speeches lol should definitely give it a listen all their stuff is great. Another ska-punk album I love is the self-titled Operation Ivy.
Warlord by Yung Lean and Eversince by Bladee are my favorite albums though.
Hell yeah, those ska-punk albums are great. I always find it funny that the first time I ever heard parenti was in a choking victim album.
Bladee is big vibes 🤩🤩😶🌫️😶🌫️🌊🌊🌊
Choking Victim
fascist band comrade
https://www.reddit.com/r/punk/comments/i6feya/stza_leftover_crack_choking_victim_star_fucking/
you should read up about Stza.
Its a shame, it is a great album but also you should know.
I don't think it's correct to call them a fascist band.
They disbanded in 98 and the allegations against Stza are from the 2010s, the fact that a single member became a POS over a decade later doesn't determine what the band is a whole.
Idk, I fell that saying that is like saying that "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is leftist only because John Lennon became one years latter.
damnit >:'( that's fuckin disgusting thx for letting me know
Lately I've been really into PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation and Fishing for Fishies by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I have listened both like more than 30 times already.
I am going to see them live tomorrow!!
I’ve been listening to petrodragonic apocalypse on repeat for the last week, and I am not usually one to do that
Tame Impala Currents
Nirvana MTV Unplugged
B52s (self titled)
Whole bunch of others I’ve seen in this thread
Nirvana’s Unplugged was legendary, brought the band to the next level
Any album by La Dispute's Rooms of the House on back will pretty much never get a skip from me. Anti-Flag is also essentially my living anthem in band form.
Can confirm Anti-Flag is based
Absolutely. It's my go-to protest punk band. I was watching some live footage and I really wanna see them perform at some point.
I've been listening to 2000s electronic lately, mostly Boards of Canada's "Geogaddi" and "Campfire Headphase" and sometimes The Unicorns' "Who Will Cut Our Hair"
Edit: I don't know how I forgot this, but "The Fire This Time" is an audio documentary about the us intervention in the Middle East that fans of IDM should definitely listen to.
Love Geogaddi.
its quickly becoming a favorite, but king gizzard's new album petrodragonic apocalypse definitely ranks up there. overall favorite albums are probably human by death, shed by title fight, or fear of music by talking heads. all of kraftwerk's albums are also pretty close to favorites, especially "the mix", a re-recording of all their hits where they somehow take their masterpieces and make them even better. i own the mix on tape and listen to it almost every day lol
Slowdive self-titled is perfect. Isaiah Rashad's Cilvia Demo. OM's Conference of the Birds.
I can sing every word of Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Company. If you think you're not into country, give that album a listen.
Rashad is so fucking it. Ill give Ohia a try
Pretty much every OM album is a playthrough for me

idk I kinda only listen to albums all the way through, never got into listening to songs by themselves. My list is 100% recency bias, I kinda go in waves with albums
Ooh the 36 Chambers is insanely good. Like for a group with that many people, I think they really made it work giving each one their style of flow and personality. Not easy to accomplish bc they had like 7-8 people I think. Protect Ya Neck will ALWAYS be a legendary track, the energy of that song is just incredible, great music to exercise to also
Glad to see such niche and different music preferences from everyone
So Jealous, Tegan and Sara
Achievement by PilotRedSun
His music channel though is PilotRedSky so it's interesting that he put Achievement on his animation channel. He's more active musically nowadays.
Hell yes! All EPs as well
Yup, he's got the good stuff.
TOUGH! Mostly rap

My ranking can be fickle sometimes, but my top 15 roughly stays the same
I slept hard on JESUS IS KING for, perhaps, some obvious reasons, but I heard it at work and its actually so good, some wince parts nonwithstanding but that's life.
Great list btw, Kendrick is a legend. I was a huge Kanye fan when I was younger and sorta listened to him less and less after his Trump turn, I completely skipped Jesus Is King bc it seemed like he was focusing too much on religion, I miss his old stuff, like anything from Life of Pablo all the way back to when he performed in ‘03 on Chappelle’s Show, but Donda had some amazing tracks here and there
IDLSIDGO is amazing, I remember that was my go-to album right after it came out for like a year, when I was also not liking shit and not going outside
Also it's great to see someone mention Father, I was a huge fan of the Awful Records stuff back in the day, although tbh I haven't kept up with them much lately, I'll need to check that album out
Nevermind by Nirvana
Love the album, hate the album cover lol
Dethalbum IV, I've been waiting for this for too long
Dopethrone
Dopesmoker
Mirror Reaper
Sect S/T
GLOSS demo
dopethrone is such an awesome album
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they have used a lot of fascist symbolism in their work, which is getting more and more blatant
Dopesmoker is cheating
can't skip any single song in: Chief Keef - Almighty So, Dream Theater - When Dream And Day Unite, Music From Saharan Cellphones vol 2.
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Doo Wop (That Thing) is one of my favorite rap songs ever, glad that Kanye sampled it on his Donda album
Very easily "Make a Sound" by Autopilot Off.

The Battle of Los Angeles, Rage against the Machine. In a similar vein I'm pretty sure Zack De la Rocha is the only private citizen to successfully escape capitalism and become a comrade.
It's pretty niche, but I can't stop listening to Satellite High's "Sharks!". I also tend listen a lot to the whole Blood on the Dance Floor Michael Jackson album, even if I find some songs (and specially lyrics) not that good.
The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists
process - sampha
malibu - anderson paak
maybe house of balloons
Listening to full albums is my preferred format, so I pretty much listen to anything to the end, other than a new album that I find myself disliking. But these are a few that I've listened to many times and that I also feel like tremendously benefit from the full album experience:
Down Colorful Hill by Red House Painters
This is a Long Drive by Modest Mouse
Hissing Fauna by Of MontrealModest Mouse is pretty good, I’ve seen them suggested throughout the post, I hear a few songs of theirs at work or on the radio, but now I feel like I need to listen to a full album from them with all of these recommendations lol, is This Is A Long Drive their best album in your opinion or would I be better suited listening to a more popular album by them? Keep in mind that I probably only know 2-4 songs of theirs
Their first two albums are very angry. Their first album, Long Drive, is my favorite, but most people think their second album, Lonesome Crowded West, is the better of the two. Long Drive alternates between sombre and aggressive where LCW is aggressive in parts but mostly mopey. LCW has some country aesthetic that's missing on Long Drive. Long Drive has many tracks that end with a minute or more of pure instrumental jams if that's your thing.
Their third album, Moon & Antarctic is a big departure from the first two in mood, the bitterness is gone. But this is still a fantastic album and very consistent, if the rough edges of the first two put you off this is where I'd start.
Personally I would skip Good News, it has some good songs but feels like it lacks a narrative. We Were Dead however feels like it has a cohesive vibe at the very least, and has some of their best pop forward tracks. The side project Ugly Casanova also has an album Sharpen Your Teeth that's quite good and different enough from everything else.
I don't listen to albums from beginning to end
To each their own, but I can agree that plenty of albums have filler to make the album longer and sometimes you don’t have time for a whole album, that’s usually the case for me
