My Take
In my case, the albums that have become my favorites are the ones I feel I absolutely have to listen to from start to finish. Of course, there are standout tracks, and some, though good, might pale in comparison to others. But it’s the experience of listening to the entire album that captivates me.
Examples:
- “Flowerboy” by Tyler, The Creator.
- “Affinity” by Haken
- “Brat” by Charli XCX
- The debut album by Gentle Giant
What are your favorite albums and why?
There‘s (or at least can be) a difference between an album full of bangers and a album you enjoy from beginning to end in one sitting. But I’m with you on this one. Thinking about it, the following albums come to mind:
Tower of Power - „Soul Vaccination“
Linkin Park - „Meteora“
Opeth - „Blackwater Park“
Queensrÿche - „Operation Mindcrime“
Queen - „A Night At The Opera“
Fleetwood Mac - „Rumours“
Tracy Chapman - „Crossroads“
Elende - „Todbringer“
Tenhi - „Kauan“
While I‘m writing this, it occurs to me, that it’s impossible for me to name a favourite album. I can’t even name a favourite album for each genre.
