Albums

Can we start another music thread, but this one specifically to the creative medium of an album?

With the modern age of playlists and online streaming, I feel albums are kind of underappreciated any more. But a collection of different songs in a particular order to achieve some more cohesive thought is just so cool.

I've been road tripping for the past couple weeks, which is a great chance to listen to albums end to end. A few of my favorites I listened to all (or at least most) of:







































Qusdahl's favorite:




and of course, all the stuff that might instead belong in the Dark Star thread:















I was also disappointed I couldn't find The Chronic end to end on Spotify.

AXS had a documentary on the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Really good.

I listen to this one every six months or so.

Right on! Paul Butterfield wails.

What’s the angle of the documentary?

I know he/his band were the impromptu backing band for the infamous Dylan Goes Electric show at Newport folk festival.

His guitarist Mike Bloomfield is one of my faves. I didn’t listen to it this particular road trip, but the bands “lost Electra sessions” is my top blues rock album of all time.

Basically the forimation and evolution of the band. It's called Horn from the Heart.
