And what was it?
Occasionally, in this age of Spotify playlists, and shuffle, on the rare occasions I have the luxury todo so, I'll have a trip down memory lane and shove Dark Side of the Moon or Screamadelica on, but I just Downloaded Public Service Broadcasting - the Race For Space - and listened to it from start to finish, while pottering around in the kitchen making a roast. It was absolutely bloody brilliant!! All the better for feeling like an album rather than a collection of tunes.
I need to do this more often. Next one up is the Streets - a Grand Don't Come for Free - because that has a proper narrative.
What should I listen to after that? What's you recomendation then? Full albums only. The newer the better.
GO!
Bing Crosby's Christmas album, last Christmas. Seriously.
Spotify and Youtube have given me ADHD when it comes to music.
Actually, that's not exactly true. I will listen to an entire classical or jazz album all the way through. I just love to DJ rock/pop music when I am writing at at the kitchen table, so I NEVER make it through an entire album anymore.
New order - Music complete. 1st one in ages though!
Friday at work. Stone Roses first album.
Fuzz II on Friday at work. Along with killing jokes new album and cancer bats hail destroyer. Had a load of CAD to do.
Often listen to stuff at home. I can't be arsed to compile playlists or wotnot. Pick an album press play.
Listened to my vinyl version of sleeps holy mountain and the daughters royal blood on Wed night.
quite often on Spotify, last one was probably Rush, Signals....
Dark Side of the Moon is an album I always listen to all the way through, but more recently was Radiohead 01 10 where you alternate tracks from OK Computer and In Rainbows to make one big album. That was worth it (youtube can help here)
The new Libertines album. It's the first thing in years I keep going back to.
The new Richard Hawley album seems good, but I only got half way through earlier
I've listened to 3 today.
I love you Honeybear by Father John Misty, Postcards from Ursa Minor by Will Varley (several times) and The Bones Of What You Believe by CHVRCHES.
If you like A Grand Don't Come for Free then try "Everybody Down" by Kate Tempest. Similar style and a single narrative thread throughout the album.
I am old, so tend to still view albums as a collection of songs to be listened to in order from start to finish.
Slade Alive on vinyl (so I had to turn it over) about a month ago.
Got the War Rooms EP on now. I fancy the New Order and the Libertines. I bloody love them both. Good call!
Keep em coming!
quite often as i hate random switching back and forth through music styles .....
Most albums have undertones of telling a story as well so many songs go better in an album situation
MuppetWrangler - I love Kate Tempest. Saw her live earlier this year. Best gig I've been to in years! She's amazing!
A couple of weeks ago - Public Service Broadcasting

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
I listened to two last night, two Friday, and three on Thursday; last night it was Paper Aeroplanes, Friday Guy Garvey and Shawn Colvin's new albums, and Thursday Guy Garvey, Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin.
If I'm out with the pod or phone, they're always on shuffle, but if I'm at home, then I select albums on the computer and play them right through on the hifi.
As often as I can.
Today I've listened to 3 complete albums.
Art Pepper - Straight Life
Dave Brubeck - Giants of Jazz compilation
G Love and Special Sauce - Sugar
And some Lou Donaldson
Leftfield - Leftism quite often.
Just finished Squeeze's greatest hits and half way through Massive Attack's Blue Lines. To complete the picture, wood burner is on, drinking a cheeky Fidencio red sourced for under 3 euros and had a 45km club mtb ride in clear blue skies this morning. Did I mention I was in Cataluna 😉
What's the story (morning glory)? A few weeks ago. 50 minutes of aural pleasure
This afternoon - Robert Johnson The Complete Recordings
Josh T Pearson Last of the Country Gentlemen (My daughter plays cello on this album)
Technique by New Order a few weeks ago in the car. I don't have an IPod, MP3 etc, so if I listen to music it will be a CD in the car on a long journey. I tried listening to a Spiritualized album whilst driving from Aberdeen to Manchester after a night shift......lasted about 5 minutes before I realised it was not a good idea.
Can't help you with the new stuff though, I stopped listening to new bands in about 1996.
For some strange reason my pic didn't show up ^^, but anyhoos' for me there is nothing better than coming in from a ride, shower and something to eat then crash on the sofa listening to an album.. yesterday was this..

Today:
"Kimono my House" and "Lil' Beethoven", both by Sparks.
About 75% of "Screamadelica" just afterwards, then ran out of time.
Yesterday, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" and "Homework".
Keep going back to Air - Moon Safari and Les Rhythmes Digitales - Darkdancer. There's not a bad tune on either of them.
Today I've listened to the Darkness' new one - Last Of Our Kind. It's properly superb 80's rock done right.
I'm still [i]old school[/i] with my listening tastes as i don't have/use spotify or streaming services so i tend to pick something that matches my mood or state of mind and play it through it's entirety, last night i sat and listened to [i]Nils Frahm - Solo[/i], [i]Andy Stott - We Stay Together[/i] and i drifted off to sleep with an oldie (but one of the most sublime compilation albums of all time) [i]Nick Warren - Back To Mine[/i]
This afternoon whilst out on a bimble with the bike & dog i worked through [i]Chvrches - Every Open Eye[/i], [i]Sexwitch - Sexwitch[/i] (natasha kahn/dan carey/toy) and i brought myself back down with [i]Tunng - Live at The BBC[/i]
It helps that i live by myself so i can listen to whatever i like/whenever i like.
I only listen to cds and don't have an ipod or any stored music so I always listen to whole albums
last night, in the car, via a cd player (remember them?)
rumours, fleetwood mac.
and it still sounds ****in great.
Just now, finishing listening to Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue. Often listen to full albums as if the radio is doing my head in driving the van I'll put a cd on and leave it be
1D's new album.
All killer, no filler.
I bought Post War Glamour Girls album ( blue vinyl ) on Friday - played it all the way through .....excellent !
Err - today, Presidents of the United States of America. Pretty much their whole back catalogue has been played in the back ground today.
Saturday was Dave Pearce - Trance anthems
Friday was Saxon - St Georges day sacrifice (disc 2, inc an awesome version of Princess of the Night).
Thursday was disc 1 of the above.
Wednesday was Bloc Party - weekend in the city
Tuesday.... Err either James or more saxon.
earlier today, The Adolescents LP.
Yesterday

Last week on the tube - Rudimental, We The Generation.
Yesterday. Was tidying up in the office/study/den/games room and thought I'd actually use the turntable I set up in there when we moved in.
Got through a few 90s gems on vinyl. Nowhere. Peggy Suicide. Sebastopol Road. Finished up with Who Cares Wins.
Prodigy: '[url= https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/the-day-is-my-enemy/id951064864 ]The Day is My Enemy[/url]'
About 20 minutes ago while making dinner - Get to Heaven by Everything Everything.
Kasabian 48:13 back when it was released so June 2014
[i]Get to Heaven by Everything Everything.[/i]
went to see them on Friday, they were bloody amazing!
last full album would be that then as they did all of it (not in the same order), does that count?
other than that, the Staves, If I Was, on Wednesday
I often play whole albums right through, while on trains or driving, but the last one I actually sat and listened to all the way through would be Ghostpoet, Shedding Skin.
Yesterday, on youtube obvs 😉
The Strokes; Is this it.
"The Weight of Your Love" Editors
[url=
track[/url]
i drifted off to sleep with an oldie (but one of the most sublime compilation albums of all time) Nick Warren - Back To Mine
Agreed, I love this and still listen to it!
The last was Steven Wilson - Hand.Cannot.Erase
But it's been on constant loop in the car for three weeks.
On the Dark Side of the Moon / OK Computer theme, have a listen to Easy Star Allstars versions, Dub Side of the Moon and Radiodread. Brilliantly observed mellow listening in a reggae style.
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden.
5 minutes ago .
[i]Young love,catching ferries around the islands.
[/i]
Music is a time machine 🙂
Regularly plough through a host of full albums in the motor when out and about, currently stashed full of oldskool hardcore and hard dance albums along with this beauty
[img] 
[/img]
Almost always listen to full albums. Not really into pic'n'mix music. I like it to all link up with a theme or style.
Last one, the other day old school... David Holmes - This Film's Crap Let's Slash the Seats
I tend to stick a CD on in the car and leave it in until I get a bit bored of it. It can be in there for weeks sometimes, then I'll swap it or buy something else that gets the same treatment.
I'm currently on a Salvation compilation that I bought the other week in Whitby, when they were supporting Fields of the Nephilim.
I buy vinyl albums and listen to them all the way through when they arrive.
Last was Blue Daisy "Darker Then Blue". (Dark blue vinyl). I would definitely recommend it.
Honestly though, the last album I listened to all the way through was a CD - it's an old one that I never bought when it came out, bought it off ebay - Au Pairs - Sense & Sensibility.
But then, Friday night, my son wanted to listen to the new Chemical Brothers album (he likes "Go" off that advert), so I put it on my iPod in the car. The traffic was so bad we listened to the whole thing driving into Portsmouth.
Normally I do have my iPod (or nas) on shuffle.
deadkenny : That's a belter of an album, really gets the juices flowing (so to speak), have you heard [i]David Holmes presents the Free Association[/i]? - i love the intro track [i]Don't rhyme no mo[/i] , another good one is [i]The Holy Pictures[/i], especially the Andrew Weatherall remix of [i]I heard Wonders[/i]
About an hour ago; Fading Frontier by Deerhunter.
"Some Friendly" on Friday, for the first time in years.
I listen to whole albums all the time, in fact, I only listen to whole albums, or as much of an album as I have time to.
I still listen to whole albums, albeit not always non-stop.
New Richard Hawley is as great as always. I've been listening to a lot of Eels recently - their live at the Albert Hall deserves listening to in full.
As it happens just been listening to Wonderstuff Eight-Legged-Groove Machine on Spotify from beginning to end.
What I don't do anymore is just sit and listen like I used to when I was a kid - I'm always doing something else - either on t'internet, at work or on the train/tube

Yeah, I've got the Free Association. Love a bit of David Holmes, got most of the studio albums though I never got round to The Holy Pictures. I must check that out. I hear it's a bit different in style though.
Mostly listen to albums, last one was
Earlier today
Yesterday:
Jackson C Frank - Blues Run the Game
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris
Today, this one with writing that might be too teeny to read:
[img] 
[/img]
Knee deep in the North Sea by portico quartet then out of season by Beth gibbons and Rustin Man
Both very different (and can be found on YouTube as whole albums if you want to try before you buy!)
Listened to Compton front to back a fair few times since it's release.
Clarkesville - The half chapter - yesterday
Khruangbin - The universe smiles upon you - the day before
Resisted the urge to keep everything alphabetically, plenty of stuff to rediscover when looking for something else.
Today I listened to the whole of Gilmour's 'Rattle That Lock'.
Last week I listened to the whole of 'Dead Set' and 'Reckoning' - both double live albums, and Nils Frahm's 'Spaces'.
I often listen to whole albums most recently Deacon Blue Raintown and Calexico Black light
I listen to at least one full album most days, especially since I started spinning the vinyl again.
Tonight has been :
Highway 61 revisited - Bob Dylan.
The Blue Album - The Beatles.
Just started listening to Roxy and Elsewhere by Zappa.
Usually listen to my BBC playlister concocted from 6 music tracks but just lately I've been playing killing jokes new album 'pylon'.
There are only 3 albums worth listening from start to finish in my opinion
Kasabians first album called Kasabian - a piece of musical genius
British Sea Power - Do you like rock music
James - Best of
Does anyone agree with me?
Today.
Latest albums from Josh Ritter, Everything Everything & Beach House.
Oh and my 14 year old daughter apparently agrees with NickC re Everything Everything on Friday night. Unfortunately I missed the gig but apparently her and her best friend were bouncing madly downstairs so if you saw two teenagers with long hair behaving like, err, teenagers, that was them......
There are only 3 albums worth listening from start to finish in my opinion
No.
I must admit I haven't quite finished the whole of the new Swallow the Sun album yet, but then again it is 3 albums in one:
i) Progressive metal/doom
ii) all acoustic
iii) dark, dirty funereal doom.
I've listened to i and iii so far, but each one in their entirety at the time.
Always play full albums. Last one was yesterday - Bombay Bicycle Club, So Long See You Tomorrow.
When did you last listen to a whole album?
Just now.
Yazoo's first one.
Most days I'll listen to at least one album straight through. As well as lots of individual tracks and playlists.
I played the Glasvegas mini Xmas album on Friday.
I'm on a roll tonight. Overkill by Motorhead now. (RIP Philthy)
Last Friday was Jarrod Dickenson -The Lonesome Traveler, in preparation for seeing him support The Waterboys next Saturday. Listen to full albums most days when at work, unless TMS is keeping me entertained.
I generally listen to full albums when I play music.
Right now. It's KT Tunstall, because I'm super cool like that.
Friday morning - New Model Army, No Rest For The Wicked

Good God no!
Unless you've only got six albums, that's a daft thing to say. I've been buying albums, first on cassette, then vinyl, then CD, since around 1970, they number in the hundreds, and that's my meagre collection, how could anyone say there are only three worth playing all the way through, let alone those three.
I couldn't pick thirty, let alone three.
There are one or two that are best with one track skipped, like Dire Straits [i]Love Over Gold[/i]: [i]Industrial Disease[/i] has no place on that album at all, it ruins the flow and the mood completely. It's also the only album of theirs I own.
One thing that's rather interesting is the number of people who listen to complete albums on the move, like in cars, which is something I've never really done, I guess because I started with cassettes, and because of the constraints of the format I started doing mix tapes early on, just for variety across the few tapes I could carry, and that meant the car as well; it wasn't until around 2003 I even had a car with a CD capability, and that got replaced with a minidisc multiplayer, for even more compilation capability.
Now, that means I'm so used to having many tracks played at random I can't really listen any other way, unless I'm at home, where it's the other way around, and I really only play full albums, even via iTunes.
Nothing I enjoy more than lying back with a beer or scotch, picking a particular artist then playing several albums right through, one after another, or playing some new CDs, before ripping them.
Which reminds me, I must get Courtney Barnett's new album, I'll be seeing her next month.
Amazon here I come...
I listen to whole albums. I think the last on while I was in the garage today was Yeti by Amon Duul.
