You know the one, the album you can listen all the way through without skipping a song.

What makes it so special to you? Is your perfect song on your perfect album?

Mine has to be The King is Dead by the Decemberists. It reminds me of simpler times, of the first day of spring and the last day of fall. It’s those long, pointless drives with friends just because you’re bored and want to get out of the house. It’s the heart wrenching sadness of saying goodbye mixed with nostalgia and hope for tomorrow.

 
I'm going to be frank and admit Digital Versatile Doom by HIM has to be my favorite album. My music guilty pleasure is gothic rock/metal and HIM is one of those bands. Compared to their regular studio albums their live album makes them look really professional and heavier.
 
The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips, but only the vinyl version. That may not seem too important, but the Vinyl version is the only version in circulation that has the intended tracklist and original versions of the songs as the band intended.
US CDs took out a song called Slow Motion but got The Spiderbite Song and Buggin, International versions got Slow Motion and a radio friendly remix of the opening track.
 
Mine are two actually, but theyre supposed to go together anyways; Epica and The Black Halo from Kamelot, a concept album that spans across two albums, heard em for the first time at least a decade ago, and to this day i can't just listen to one song, always play the two albums through and through


(Also the first time i heard the phrase Memento Mori, thought it was so cool at the time but nowadays every faggot likes to drop it at the first chance, and they always act like they came up with it)
 
One of the few albums I bought on its release date. I had just gotten out of a psych facility, and paradoxically, I was more depressed and suicidal than when I went in because I didn't want to leave. I felt safe there. I wore out the CD from so much use, and eventually had to buy it again. It suited my frame of mind perfectly, at the time.

Moby's Destroyed got me through an ugly breakup. Caught her cheating on me with a coworker, had to move out and couch surf for a month, the works. Something about the ambient bleakness of the music gave me this weird sense of security that I wasn't alone and what I was feeling was part of being human.
It's honestly a little weird listening to it now because there's this disconnect between the love I have for the record and the bitterness of my memories associated with it. But I always play the whole thing through.
 
Gumbo by Dr. John. Great versions of a lot of new orleans standards from one of my favorite artists from my childhood, just good old fashioned fun rock.
 
There are several perfect albums in my books (or shelves) not only one. One of them and definitely among my personal top 3 albums ever is this one:


Nocturno Culto's vocals are very evil, very pissed. The production is top notch for a Black Metal album (maybe not in the upload), the sound is timeless. If you are a Darkthrone fan or at least know their history and albums you'll find a lot of foreshadowing on "Hate Them". Lot's of people hated it back in the days because in their opinion the album was too much Rock 'n' Roll and not Black Metal enough. The lyrics are a big Fuck Off to some trends of it's time. Overall the album is a perfect Black Metal album. No compromisses, zero fucks given. It's grim, it's dark and full of catchy, razor sharp, brutal riffs. The intro and outro are a perfect frame for the songs in between.

They sound like one of those bands that are better live than in studio recordings. Not my taste, but i could listen to this concert recording no problem.

Im interested in psychedelic music

Currently i really like this particular Khruangbin live session


Ariel Pink's Dedicated to Bobby Jameson is an unskippable album too

 
Everything Everything by Underworld (2000) top 3 at least I like everything everything on this album apart from the last song which is stopping it being my favourite.
I don't how to link properly like everyone else's YouTube link :(
