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?

I generally don't really care about albums and just make a playlist with only the songs I like.

I believe in this and its been tested by research, he who fucks nuns will later join the church. A double album where all but maybe 1 song fantastic.

So I have a band where I like almost every album they have put out. Like maybe two exceptions. Some are more meh but its kinda hard to point to a favorite as it likely moves over time. I sorta have a consistent favorite song but boy there are many I like almost as much. I also really like some albums from other artists. All the ones I like I like all the songs on it.

Booker T and the M.G.'s Universal Language

The album was dedicated to M.G.'s drummer Al Jackson, Jr., who was murdered in 1975;[2] the remaining members recruited Willie Hall to replace him on this album.[3] The group would not record another album for seventeen years, returning in 1994 with That's the Way It Should Be.

There's something so deep and unique about this album. Last Tango in Memphis is my favorite track, but this is one of the few albums of any genre I enjoy just putting on and listening to all the way through.

I really don't have favorites with a lot of stuff. Music is one of them. I like practically everything. None of it is liked more than another; more that I like different things for different reasons.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip -2 points 1 week ago

No not at all. I have absolutely terrible taste in music. We all do and any who thinks other wise is deluding themselves.

Most music is pretty medicore. I can only name a handful of artists with more than one really good song.
