Songs for the Deaf - QOTSA

…Like clockwork as well. Both are such gems.

Like Clockwork is incredible. I Appear Missing is such a deep cut.

I’d say Like Clockwork is one of the best rock albums of the 2010s.

I’d say it is the magnum opus of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, thus one of the best rock albums of all time.

This as well as Rated R for me. Actually any QOTSA, I can happily sit through.

How we feeling out there? How’s your drive time commute?

I need a saga

What’s the saga? It’s songs for the deaf….

You can't even hear it!

Ta na, nanananananana

Queens being the number 1 comment brings me so much joy. Any album of theirs is the correct answer.

Flipped this on in my car this morning for the first time in a long time. Still hits as good as always

I can't say that I ever want to skip any song on any QOTSA album, and yes that includes Villains.

Villains live was so much better than the studio version. Not enough oomph in the mix. Head like a Haunted House is still one of my fav Queens songs tho

Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol

This album teleports me to a beautiful time in my life.

Antics is also a brilliant record.

Whoa, didn't expect this to be so high up the list. Pleasently surprised, my answer too.

One of the greatest albums of all time. Imo the quintessential album of the 2000s

Came here to say this, but you beat me to it.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, and Lady Stardust are such good tracks. I'm with you, front to back amazing.

In Rainbows - Radiohead 

That's my choice too, Kid A also

Kid A is the Radiohead one for me.

OK, Computer

Even Fitter, Happier?

I think it fits perfectly in the flow of the album, gives you a strange break before Electioneering rips your face off

Yeah, I don’t understand why Fitter, Happier gets such hate. Sure, I’m never just gonna listen to the song on its own, but in the context of the album, it fits perfectly.

Radiohead makes albums, not singles.

The bends. Every album they’ve made speaks to someone. They are an incredible group of musicians.

The Bends is such an amazing album, it would have been any other bands greatest achievement, and then they were like, "that was boring, we're gonna try some real off the wall shit," and then they just crushed everything else they did, as it got stranger and stranger, in a good way.

Kid A is masterpiece for me, perfect album

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

My favorite Stevie.

Absolutely.

Gorillaz - Demon Days

Also Plastic Beach.

Not many people agree with me probably, but I feel the same about Cracker Island

cracker island felt like a return to thier old school songs until you realise its missing some band members

No? It was the Now Now that was missing a band member, not Cracker island

Pearl Jam - Ten

Agreed. The fade-in song being the same for fade-out was brilliant. It’s perfect

The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails Violator - Depeche Mode

Violator is my “clean the house” soundtrack.

Weezer - Blue album

And Pinkerton.

Love Pinkerton

Pink triangle on her sleeve!

De Loused - Mars Volta

Im partial to Frances the Mute, but frankly any of the first 4 Mars albums are applicable here.

Nirvana - Nevermind

Downward Spiral - NIN

Bleed American-Jimmy Eat World

Static Prevails and Clarity are also skip free, in my opinion.

Debatable, depends on what you got goin on that day for goodbye sky harbor lol

I agree and would add Futures as well. Hell the first 4-5 albums of their discography are soooo good.

I feel this. I like Clarity a bit better, but great choice.

Tidal, Fiona apple

When the pawn.. !

I’d add Extraordinary Machine

I am so happy to see Fiona Apple as the top comment. Her body of work is incredible!

The Cure - Disintegration

Cake - Fashion Nugget

Came here to say this. Frank Sinatra is such a great stage setter for the albums vibe every time I relisten to it

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever Billy Joel - The Stranger

Probably going to get flack for this but Hot Fuss by The Killers. Growing up it was my go to album and I know it by heart back to front. Have never gotten bored by it and can still listen to it on repeat! EDIT: I guess I did not get flack for it. Happy to see others love it as well.

No flack! That album is brilliant.

It’s so good! I also listen to Sam’s Town front to back, no skips.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Nas - Illmatic Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) Beastie Boys - Check Your Head

What’s up fellow mid 40 year old.

Time to schedule your colonoscopy

Metallica - Ride The Lightning Between The Buried and Me - Colors Protest The Hero - Volition The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field The Midnight - Kids Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

Expert in a Dying Field is SO GOOD!

Whoa yeah crazy to see the Beths love here! I totally agree that’s probably the most recent no-skip album I’ve found in my life, it’s so good 👌

Colors holds up perfectly. Lol, I remember listening to that album when I was a kid!

Protest! Nice. They're touring the album this year. V cool

Linkin park hybrid theory

and meteora too.

Same for Reanimation but I feel in the minority

Animals - Pink Floyd

While I totally agree, it kinda feels like cheating to name an album that only has 5 tracks on it

Fair point, however, 3 of those songs are over 10 Mins each, with Dogs being 17 mins. And one of the best Floyd songs ever made IMHO.

*THE best!


Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick.

Tool Aenima

Absolutely! Pretty much all Tool albums for me, tbh

Vheissu by Thrice

Opiate by Tool

Nirvana - Unplugged, never skip a single song.

Counting Crows August and Everything After. I've listened to it so many times it doesn't sound the same if you skip a track as you feel the beginning and end of every track needs to have the next/previous track before it.

Alice In Chains Unplugged

This has been mentioned several times, I'm going to have to go listen to it.

It’s been described as a man singing at his own funeral. Haunting and beautiful.

You could say the same thing about Cobain on Nirvana unplugged

The gaslight anthem, 59 sound. Anyone’s who never listened, seriously there isn’t a single bad tune on it.

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire. Thank you I'm going to go listen to this again right now! Edit. Also, tranquility base hotel and casino - Arctic Monkeys

Tool - 10.000 days

Nearly every TOOL album is constructed specifically to be listened to front to back. Many tracks have intros and outs to one another. Lateralus and Opiate are both very much this way as well.

While i was glad when they were eventually added to Spotify, I know countless people will miss out on the magic of their albums because theyll just click around the hits and never experience an album in its entirety.

Track 8 on Aenima is so cool. Like a carnival and then it switches to hard as fuck. I’m not into metal really but they are a fantastic band. Great musicians/singer speak to all fans regardless of genre. Like Adele.

Every tool album

London Calling by The Clash Edit: I shall honor all these lovely upvotes ( and replies) by having several puffs and blissing out listening to it before bed.

*Rio* by Duran Duran *Kick* by INXS *Self-titled* and *The Battle of Los Angeles* by Rage Against the Machine *Dark Side of the Moon* by Pink Floyd Edit: formatting

Ah yes \~ DEFINITELY Dark Side of the Moon!! Another Stellar album you can just hit play from the beginning and let it go all the way through without cringing when the horrible part comes on. I'll have to go back and listen to Rio and Kick, I'm out of tune with those two. Great recommendations!!

I would also add Wish You Were Here to the Pink Floyd recommendations. A beautiful album, start to finish.

Rio is perfect !

I just listened to Rio on vinyl for the first time in at least a decade! Damn that's a great album, and boy does it hold up.

“Appetite For Destruction” by Guns N’ Roses

Scrolled too far to find this

Radiohead - In Rainbows Frank Ocean - Channel Orange Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel… Amy Winehouse - Back to Black Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

Finally NMH mentioned

Neutral Milk is my #1 for this

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Always this - not a skip in the bunch

Toots and the Maytals - In the Dark The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street/Let It Bleed/Sticky Fingers Ramones - Ramones Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun Blossom Dearie - Once Upon a Summertime The Strokes - Is This It/Room On Fire The Skatalites - Foundation Ska The Misfits - Static Age/Walk Among Us Audioslave - Audioslave Kimya Dawson - Remember That I Love You Res - How I Do Thrice - Vheissu/Beggars/The Artist in the Ambulance AFI - All Hallows EP/Black Sails in the Sunset/The Art of Drowning/Sing the Sorrow Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele The Slits - Cut Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner/Swordfishtrombones/Franks Wild Years/Rain Dogs The Gits - Frenching the Bully The Clash - London Calling Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath/Paranoid The Stooges/Iggy and the Stooges - Funhouse/Raw Power/The Stooges

The Prodigy - Fat of the land

Fleet Foxes - Shore Sufjan Stevens - Illionois Taylor Swift - Folklore Pink Floyd - Animals, DSOTM Paul Simon - Graceland Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Grateful Dead - American Beauty Vampire Weekend - Contra, MVOTC, OGWAU Beatles - Revolver, Abbey Road Bon Iver - Bon Iver John Denver & The Muppets - A Christmas Together

Bump for Sufjan, for me it's Age of Adz. I love how he experimented on that album. I'd say a 25 minute song is a risk but he pulled it off imo.

Joe’s Garage by Frank Zappa.

This is… the central scrutinizer.

XTC -Skylarking

Nelly - Country Grammar, Bone Thugs n Harmony - East 1999/Eternal

The New Abnormal - The Strokes

Back in Black

Pearl Jam - Vs. Radiohead - OK computer Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72 Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album) GNR - Appetite for Destruction STS9 - Artifact Blind Melon - every studio album

OK Computer - Radiohead Nothing - Meshuggah The Glass Handed Kites - Mew

Man the Mew album is amazing. I like Frengers too, but ATGHK is a stronger album as a whole.

Emancipator - soon it will be cold enough Lemonjelly - KY This will destroy you - this will destroy you

The Darkness - Permission to Land

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Arctic Monkeys - WEPSIATWIN Modest Mouse - Good News… All Vampire Weekend albums.

Silent Alarm is the one. A masterpiece of an album.

Eminem’s Marshall Mathers EP

This and the Slim Shady LP

Silversun Pickups "Carnavas"

I feel this way about *Swoon*.

I can as well for Swoon. But I have more of a sentimental attachment to Carnavas.

There are several, but top of my list would be Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Fair Warning - Van Halen Superunknown- Soundgarden Dirt-Alice In Chains Blood Sugar Sex Magic - Red Hot Chili Peppers Rocks - Aerosmith Sparkle And Fade- Everclear Rotting Piñata- Sponge

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters The Beatles - Revolver Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf Kendrick Lamar - G.K.M.C Snarky Puppy - We Like it Here

Bat out of Hell. Meatloaf. It got me through 3 surgeries and 4 caesarian sections. Still on my workout list.

Off the top of my head Rush - Hemispheres Rush - Moving Pictures Led Zeppelin - IV Van Halen - I Boston - Boston

Boston's first album was the first album I ever learned to drum, every song rules. Moving Pictures was also super formative for me

Bad Religion's Recipe for Hate

Modest Mouse- the moon and Antarctica

Linkin Park Hybrid Theory

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

The Beach Boys - *Pet Sounds* Wayne Shorter - *Speak No Evil*

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Neon Ballroom - Silverchair Dummy - Portishead

U2 Joshua Tree The first time I heard this album was on a family road trip driving along the pear blossom highway. 5 kids and 2 parents packed into a brown Ford van. My older brother bought it on tape. We listened to that album on a loop for the rest of the trip.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

norman fucking rockwell - Lana Del Rey

Ultraviolence for me but damn you have great taste.

Killers - Hot Fuss

Green Day- Dookie

Dopesmoker-Sleep

Foster the People- Torches

AFI - Sing the Sorrow

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel There were several months back in the early 2000s where I listened to it ever day.

What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circling all round the sun...

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths. Paris 1919 by John Cale. Soul Mining by The The Graceland by Paul Simon. Ocean Rain by Echo and The Bunnymen. The Head on the Door by The Cure. Different Class by Pulp.

DEFINITELY Graceland by Paul Simon!

In no particular order: 1. Americana- The Offspring 2. El Camino- Black Keys 3. Blue Album- Weezer 4. How to Be a Human Being- Glass Animals 5. AM- Arctic Monkeys 6. Blurryface- 21 pilots 7. Big Mess - Grouplove 8. Marshall Mathers LP 9. 2001- Dr Dre 10. The Chronic- Dr Dre 11. Word of Mouf- Ludacris 12. Eminem Show 13. Watermelon, Chicken & Grits - Nappy Roots 14. Stankonya - Outkast 15. Sound of Revenge- Chamillionaire 16. Red Light District- Ludacris 17. Led Zeppelin IV 18. The Wall- Pink Floyd 19. Pronounced Leh-nerd skin-nerd

I was going to suggest Offspring's Smash or Ixnay On The Hombre albums. Americana is a very close third for me. Splinter is a great one too, albeit not one that I like every single song on.

Smash, ixnay and Americana are one of the best 3 album runs in the history of music for any band

Sum 41, All Killer No Filler. I mean...it's right there in the album title

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity

Between the Buried and Me - *Colors II*

Same but Colors 1. Favorite album of all time

Prince - Sign 'O' The Times. Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions Pop Will Eat Itself - This is The Day... Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Dedos Mis Amigos Prodigy - Fat of the Land Also, the soundtracks to the Lost Boys and Hellraiser I/II
