There are only 3 albums worth listening from start to finish in my opinion
Kasabians first album called Kasabian – a piece of musical genius
British Sea Power – Do you like rock music
James – Best of
Does anyone agree with me?
Good God no!
Unless you’ve only got six albums, that’s a daft thing to say. I’ve been buying albums, first on cassette, then vinyl, then CD, since around 1970, they number in the hundreds, and that’s my meagre collection, how could anyone say there are only three worth playing all the way through, let alone those three.
I couldn’t pick thirty, let alone three.
There are one or two that are best with one track skipped, like Dire Straits Love Over Gold: Industrial Disease has no place on that album at all, it ruins the flow and the mood completely. It’s also the only album of theirs I own.
One thing that’s rather interesting is the number of people who listen to complete albums on the move, like in cars, which is something I’ve never really done, I guess because I started with cassettes, and because of the constraints of the format I started doing mix tapes early on, just for variety across the few tapes I could carry, and that meant the car as well; it wasn’t until around 2003 I even had a car with a CD capability, and that got replaced with a minidisc multiplayer, for even more compilation capability.
Now, that means I’m so used to having many tracks played at random I can’t really listen any other way, unless I’m at home, where it’s the other way around, and I really only play full albums, even via iTunes.
Nothing I enjoy more than lying back with a beer or scotch, picking a particular artist then playing several albums right through, one after another, or playing some new CDs, before ripping them.
Which reminds me, I must get Courtney Barnett’s new album, I’ll be seeing her next month.
Amazon here I come…
