The problem with listing to a full album anymore is that most of them today have one good work and the rest are fillers. It is not like the old days when every damn piece was fantastic and could stand on its own or in the body of work. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

Dylan Blood on the Tracks. All time greatest. Says more about men/women relationships than everything on this board.

Pink Floyd ..many choices but I will go for Wish You Were Here

Mahler Symphony no 9, a slow movement to die for in daty

Hendrix experience

Rolling Stones Let it Bleed

Bruckner 8th, slow movement for daty, last movement for fucking

Scriabin 8th sonata for freeky daty, a tongue workout

If you don;t believe me, try

Just to mix things up a bit:
Everywhere - the Bangles. Yeah, those Bangles. Almost every song a rocker.
Requiem by Mozart.
Another Page - Christopher Cross
Every Time You Say Goodbye - Allison Krauss/Union Station
Parsely, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Simon and Garfunkel

I can do this all day.....I love making lists like this. When I was still buying vinyl I listened to most of the records I had over and over and some of them I'm still listening too. As much as I miss playing records on a daily basis I really do appreciate the random function of my ipod.
