I listen to Crack the Skye by Mastodon at least 3 times a week - and I mean sit down and listen to it start to finish.

Any bands you can't live without?

Master of Puppets. An oldie but can still listen to it over & over. Can live without nearly anything they've done since though.

I am not exaggerating when I say I have listened to Arctic Monkeys "Suck It and See" constantly on my van CD since it was released. Still lovin it although the disc is beginning to wear out...

Queens of the Stone Age had a run of albums where they were in a league of their own - self-titled, rated-R and songs for the deaf. Listen to them all the time still. Subsequent stuff hasn't been at that level, but that's only to be expected really.

In the Aeroplane over the sea from NMH still gets heavy play (helped by the fact my 4yo loves the 'carrot-flowers CD'). The lyrics are quite oblique, but it still has the feeling of a complete hang-your-balls-out artistic statement, like a f_k was not given if it sold 1 copy or 1 million.
Not that this means anything itself, but when you see a guy lay it all out like that, and the music is still a complete triumph, then that's a special combination.

Not originally but thinking about it I didn't like Crack the Skye for a long while, it was Remission for years (with the odd song here and there) until the Hunter got me into their singing a bit more. First listen to Crack the Skye after that I loved it and the other albums get a proper listen now too.

When I saw you thread title I was thinking the same. So it it was quite a surprise to read this!
