The Official 'Albums to listen to before you die' thread
Stealing from Will Hunting and actually hoping to fill any gaps in my music knowledge, I was wondering what you guys considered to be some of the best albums ever.
I listen to a variety of music so I got:
The Cure - Disintegration
Kanye West - Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Gayngs - Relayted
Black Keys - Brothers
Jay Z - Blueprint
Arcade Fire - Funeral and The Suburbs
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Metallica - Metallica
Bunch of others but just to get the ball rolling.
Mod Note (Andy): Throwback Thursday - This was originally posted 11/27/11
Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
To this day, it remains a technical masterpiece, and a delight to audiophiles. The album explores some fundamental and catholic aspects of the human condition such as life, death, war, money, and insanity.
This was going to be mine... Glad it is the first comment!
"The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older!!! Shorter of breath one day closer to death!"
Saw David Gilmour earlier this year, blew my mind and didn't even need to smoke for that...
and on psychedelics
I have an original pressing of the vinyl record from the 70s. Never gets old
Make sure to listen to the 5 best rappers alive: Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan.
...'cause they spit hot fire.

wow you and I would really get along
Can't forget 50 cent's get rich or die tryin album...probably his best work..can almost listen to all of the tracks without skipping.
I've never been one to just sit and put in an album, usually stick to the songs I like the most. If I was going to name an album, I'd probably go with LIBOR's choice.
MMBinNC: I don't know why, I thought The Sickness was the sickness...
The Strokes - Is This It
Dr. Dre - 2001 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin Rick Ross - Port of Miami OutKast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP Eminem - The Eminem Show The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death 2Pac - All Eyez on Me Nelly - Nellyville Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle Jay-Z - Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life Kanye West - College Dropout
Madvillain- Madvillainy A Tribe Called Quest- Midnight Marauders Radiohead- Kid A & The Bends Beck- Sea Change Common- Be
To add to these: Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt Nas - Illmatic Nas - God's Son Outkast - Stankonia The Roots - Illadelph Halflife
Led Zeppelin - 1- 4 Jimi Hendrix - are you experienced, electric lady land, axis Doors - doors and strange days Megadeth -rust in peace Mob deep - the infamous and hell on earth Black moon -enta da stage and warzone Gangstarr - moment of truth Jay-z - reasonable doubt Wu-tang - 36 chambers Nas - illmatic Slayer - reign in blood (awesome workout cd) Pantera - vulgar display of power The Clash - London calling

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd College Drop out - Kanye West Jay z - The Blueprint The Chronic 2001 - Dr. Dre Sergent Pepper Lonely Hearts Club - The Beatles
Good list as well. I don't like the Tribe stuff, but the rest looks solid
Why not? I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who didn't like them provided they were open to listening to some rap. Listening to those albums requires a certain kind of mood but I see them as the perfect "gateway albums" for rap as well as being both production-wise and lyrically.
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People / self-titled Brian Eno - Music for Airports Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town / Nebraska Clipse - Lord Willin' The Beatles - Sgt Peppers / White Album Lil Wayne - Carter III / No Ceilings At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica / Good News for People Who Love Bad News Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place / Those Who Tell The Truth... Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun
Anything by Braking Benjamin. The two best would be Phobia and Dear Agony.
Also Bush (esp. Sixteen Stone & The Science of Things), and FFDP (esp. War Is the Answer), and Saving Able (esp. Miss America) are good too.
You're taste in music sucks
Sorry, I left out Nickelback's All the Right Reasons. I like music that is the future classic rock; not music that will fade out of existence in the next decade.
Also ZZ Top is good too.
Anyway...
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing (and other stories). Influences: Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush.
Live performance of first track on album:
I just remembered that Terminator Theme in the Electric or Metal Version is probably the best funeral song.
Terminator electric guitar version:
Terminator metal version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXIOmOcsjA
Wait, how did we end up at funeral music?
Talking movie stuff, what's the verdict on the Blade theme?
I want to be dropped into the earth, family screaming, tears down their faces, to the undertaker intro music. I want the priest to say that death did not come for me, but I have come for death!
@Wasserstag526, Gangstar - Moment Of Truth---- you speak the truth my friend.
Haven't read through the thread but in my opinion Get Rich or Die Tryin' is the best rap album of all time and has to be on the list.
It is pretty good, yeah. I don't whether its the best of all time, but I agree it has to be on the list.
No way! In terms of what?
In terms of number of quality rap songs. I'm not gonna start an argument over it, it's a matter of preference, but I'd say there are 7 songs counting Wangsta on the album still regularly played today.
Redman - muddy waters Common - one day it will all make sense Eminem - Marshall mathers album Dr. Dre - both chronic albums Outlast - stankonia & aquemini & speakerboxx Lauren Hill - the miseducation of Lauren hill Ghostface killah - supreme clientele! Raekwon - only built for cuban linx Big pun - capital punishment Eric b and Rakim - paid in full and don't sweat the technique Kool g rap and dj polo - wanted dead or alive Jeru the damaja - the sun rises in the east & wrath of the math Kanye west - his entire discography!
Kanye West - His Entire Discography except for Yeezus. Album was trash save for 2 or 3 songs
Bad boy bill - house connection two & behind the decks Danny tenaglia - global underground Athens Dj boris - believe Richard vission - shut the fuck up and dance DJ Dan - accelerate Armand Val helden - ghettoblaster John digweed - global underground Los Angeles Daft punk - self titled Carl Craig - sessions Basement jaxx - rooty Plastikman - closer
@"CompBanker" should definitely watch this (Equilibrium - Breaking Benjamin - "Into the Nothing"):
Awesome video.
I am glad that you like it. There are a lot more Breaking Benjamin videos with scenes from Equilibrium and other Christian Bale movies.
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral and The Fragile
Check out their new album it's awesome! Also, pretty hate machine def belongs on the list.
Should be included:
Beatles - Abbey Road Beatles - Revolver Beatles - Rubber Soul AC/DC - Highway to Hell Jay Z - The Black Album
Would highly recommend sitting through this concert, or having it on in the background.
//www.youtube.com/embed/5I2nOgheppw?feature=player_detailpage
Pearl Jam: Ten and Vs.
Phil Collins: No Jacket Required
Top Gun OST:
//www.youtube.com/embed/7ZYcS2KHq30
//www.youtube.com/embed/vwBbrngafl0
Those are some of my favorites.
I agree!
Also, on my list is Led Zeppelin IV, Electric Ladyland, and Are You Experienced.
Lose My Number off that album is probably one of the most underrated iconic 80's tracks ever and the video is fucking amazing. After I get a few in me at a bar with touch tunes it's one of my go-to's.
The drums put me into a trance.
//www.youtube.com/embed/B7Z-eUmR2bM
Sussudio is another great one from the "No Jacket Required" album; it's one of Patrick Bateman's favorites.

Parliament Funkadelic- MaggotBrain Phish- Live Phish Volume 4 Stevie Wonder- Innervisions Dr Dre- The Chronic (1992-- not that horse shit from 2001) Jeff Buckley- Grace/ Live and Siné Otis Redding- Otis Blue Talking Heads- Remain in Light The Clash- London Calling The Smiths- Meat is Murder Pink Floyd- Dark Side of The Moon
Stand back folks...this guitar has seconds to live...
The Who - Who's Next, Quadrophenia, Tommy, and Live at Royal Albert Hall.
@"adapt or die" : No Jacket Required is beast.
@TheVanBurenBoyz : You seem to like prog. Any love for Dream Theater, Queensryche, Tool, Opeth, or Fates Warning?
Fucking right, you lead off your night with that at the early bar or pregame and you start getting weird.
I've been digging Trioscapes lately, which is a bit of a prog metal/jazz fusion group.
Liquid Tension Experiment? Animals As Leaders? Sieges Even? I'll check out Trioscapes for sure.
@ThaVanBurenBoyz : See above...
@FeelingMean : GREAT call on Nighthawks At the Diner. Words cannot describe what my first listen was like. There's nothing else like it....you just know Tom Waits is in the building.
I'm sure @MissMoneyPenny will recommend a custom mix of "James Bond Greatest Hits" consisting of all the 007 movie themes--Goldfinger, Moonraker, You Only Live Twice, Goldeneye, License to Kill...
@"adapt or die" : "Inside Out." :)
Haha, I might need to go out drinking tonight, SB
In that case, you'll need somebody to "Take You Home..."
Yea I am finding I really like Tom Waits, especially his early stuff. He might be my favorite musician, artist, whatever
jammin at the six minute mark
On a different note- ITF I read your thrash metal series on head of metal-- thanks a lot. I randomly remembered a D.R.I. song and went on a thrash kick, which lead me there. Love what you are doing there.
Thanks dude. I hope to do a multi-part history of all the subgenres, not just thrash--I'm sure @ThaVanBurenBoyz will critique my prog-metal history with vigor.
@ThaVanBurenBoyz : Lately I've also been very impressed with Anubis Gate, and "The Art of Navigating By The Stars" by Sieges Even, and "In Search of Truth" by Evergrey. I know you prefer your prog instrumental, but any thoughts on those?
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" is on the Pet Sounds Album. IMO, it's a great song for the American Psycho trailer:
//www.youtube.com/embed/8jVNmgHKweU
That's really cool and a bit creepy at the same time.
You Are the Quarry by Morrissey for wit. Coke Boys 4 by French Montana if you're down for drive-bys in a Bugatti.
I'll do only rap cuz it's what I know best
A tribe called quest - electric relaxation The pharcyde - bizarre ride II UGK - Ridin Dirty Souls of Mischief - 93 til infinity Hieroglyphics - Full Circle Method Man and Redman - blackout! Method Man - Tical Raekwon - only built 4 Cuban Linx GZA - liquid swords Nwa - straight outta Compton Outkast - southernplayalisticadillakmusik Slick rick - the great adventures of slick rick Camp lo - uptown Saturday night De la soul - 3 feet high and rising Geto boys - we can't be stopped The fugees - the score Rakim - paid in full Most of Nas' stuff Eminem - the Eminem Show Ludacris - chicken n beer
As far as new stuff Kendrick Lamar and the rest of black hippy, Big KRIT, and Pro Era show real promise
Finally! Someone who knows quality rap music. With the exeption of Ludacris maybe ( I just never liked him) that's a solid list.
If I could add some;
Madvillain- Madvillainy MF DOOM- Operation: Doomsday Common- Be Talib Kweli- Quality Joey B-1999 Mos Def- Black on Both Sides Common- Like Water for Chocolate Slum Village- Fantastic, Vol. 2 (prob the best productions I have ever heard anywhere on a rap album)
Nice to see some true hip-hop heads. I'll add on.
Binary Star- Masters of the Universe Blu- Below the heveans Eminem SSLP Elzhi- Elmatic - such a great album Atmosphere- When life gives you lemon pain that Shit gold CunninLynguist- A piece of Strange- Kno is such a great producer Black Star Pharohe Monch- Internal Affairs Chino XL- Here to save you all
There are a few decent suggestions here but mostly mediocre albums. Definitely tough to come up with truly great albums that don't skip a beat from start to finish - there are many bands that I love that do not have any albums fitting that criteria.
OP - I'm pretty impressed that you mentioned Gayng's Relayted. I would consider that to be one of the best albums I have ever heard, it is also among the most innovative. The Cure is incredible. Overall I like your picks (although I hate The Suburbs, I think Funeral was AF's only good album).
Slowdive - Souvlaki The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore Beach House - Teen Dream Porcelain Raft - Strange Weekend Malory - Not Here, Not Now Tears Run Rings - Always, Sometimes, Seldom, Never The Radio Dept - Lesser Matters Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago The Notorious BIG - Life After Death Sunlounger - Another Day on the Terrace The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots The Antlers - Hospice Deafheaven - Sunbather jj - jj n 3 The Killers - Hot Fuss My Bloody Valentine - Loveless My Bloody Valentine - mbv Radiohead - The Bends Radiohead - OK Computer DJ Shadow - Entroducing Everything from Explosions in the Sky
A few more classics
Big L - Lifestylez ov da poor & dangerous Eminem - Infinite (so underrated) Scarface - the Diary EPMD - Strictly Business Ghostface Killah - supreme clientele
Good man . . . glad to see someone knows what's good with the danger zone.
Now we all laughing hard gettin nice and weeded, celebrating nigga, heist completed.
If Papoose had an album compiled from his mixtapes that would be up there as well in my book
@ThaVanBurenBoyz : Yeah, they can be Large Ham-ish...
Highway to Hell anyone?
My favorite song from the album:
//www.youtube.com/embed/JGftIcp2SC0
This would make a good WSO theme song:
//www.youtube.com/embed/6EWqTym2cQU
The Fall: Hex Enduction Hour DJ Shadow: Endtroducing Tom Waits: Rain Dogs The Clash: London Calling (kind of an ironic pick considering this is an I-banking forum) Led Zeppelin: LZ I & IV Trent Reznor and Atticus Rose: The Social Network OST
No Doubt - tragic kingdom Kings of Convenience - riot on an empty street Arcade Fire - funeral and Neon Bible also put me down for Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Metallica
U2 -achtung baby and Joshua tree
For me, I'd add in "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" to complete the trio.
Me personally I would put in either zooropa or all that you can not leave behind. I just feel it has a little more depth than how to dismantle (although dismantle is still amazing)
if only they had more time to complete pop album :(
2Pac - Greatest Hits album Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Tool - Lateralus
No love for Aenima as well?
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (mentioned several times already) Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-92 Cynic - Focus Rammstein - Mutter Above & Beyond - Tri-state Sasha - Airdrawndagger
Dream Theater - Images and Words
And, Scenes From A Memory.
Time for you all to be amazed.
Tool: The Pot
You're welcome
Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood Kansas - Leftoverture Kansas - Point of Know Return Rush - Moving Pictures Rush - Signals Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - The Wall The Beatles - Revolver The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour The Beatles - Rubber Soul Led Zeppelin - IV Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy Talking Heads - Little Creatures Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues David Bowie - Space Oddity David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Animals should be included too.
You're right. Way to 'put the knife in' ;-)
Nice addition with the Bowie albums. I don't think he'd been mentioned yet.
Don't think Kansas was mentioned yet either, but looks like I'm the only one here who digs them....even though carry On Wayward Son is clearly one of the best songs of all time.
No love for David Bowie's Station to Station or Pink Floyd's Animals? I am very pleased that someone other than me likes the Talking Heads though.
Talking Heads are one of the most underrated of the classic rock bands. We need more bands like them--quirky with an intellectual side, but still strong enough pop flavor to have mainstream hits.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
An awesome song that should have been on the original album but was released later:
//www.youtube.com/embed/vK6m1bqax3k
Suprised RHCP made it this far without any mention
Blood Sugar Sex Magik is awesome as well
U2-The Joshua Tree Coldplay-A Rush Of Blood To The Head Daft Punk-Random Access Memories Frank Ocean-Channel Orange
Arcade Fire-Funeral Beck-Odelay (and Mutations)
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
OP you mention Kanye but you don't list graduation? Really?
I won't create a huge list because everyone before me has done a great job but I'll echo all floyd and zep. You can't die before falling into a floyd hole.
I might add Captain Beefheart Doc at the Radio Station. It's bizarre as fuck and so bad its good. I can't describe it. Its poetic like Morrison's work but its bizarre and the guy can't sing to save his life. Its part hilarious and part amazing. Ashtray heart and A Carrot is as Close as a Rabbit Gets to a Diamond might be the only two songs that resemble real music and won't make your head explode. It's good music to put on in the background while you and three other friends debate the ills of the world over a few bottles of scotch on a late saturday night in the winter when its too cold to find anything better to do.
Jay-Z's Black Album.
Wings - Love Take Me Down (to the Streets)
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders The Roots - Illadelph Halflife Nas - Illmatic Mobb Deep - The Infamous The Fugees - The Score NWA - Straight Outta Compton Dr. Dre - The Chronic Notorious BIG - Ready to Die Outkast - ATLiens
If you've listened to Illmatic a few times, try Elhzi's Elmatic.
Also, while this may not be an album per se, DJ Neil Armstrong's mixtapes are a great way of expanding your musical culture.
I was pretty skeptical at first too. Now I just wish there could be an Ielmatic tape with Nas' verses and the Elmatic beats.
Taking back Sunday Matchbox 20 Dashboard confessional
I played golf yesterday and went through No Jacket Required and greatest hits of The Cars and Hall and Oates in the cart speaker, great stuff.
So you just had late 70's/80's night as you drove.
Basically, 4 Heineken heavies and H&O Maneater will def add like 30 yards to your drive.
You'd appreciate this: I'm heading out tonight, and the 80s party music is coming out. PC, PG, Sting, Robert Palmer, and of course Zevon's "Leave My Monkey Alone."
I don't know what could kick your night off better. On the way to work today I heard Invisible Touch, 99 Red Balloons, and Mike and the Mechanics... ready to fast forward to tonight already.
Don't forget The Band's 'Last Waltz'.
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
This hasn't been mentioned yet? The Stones at their best. I swear I had to wipe the grit off of my ears and headphones after listening to this album.
Honestly, I like Sticky Fingers and Some Girls better.
Gotta add some jam bands:
Grateful Dead - American Beauty, Workingman's Dead Widespread Panic - Ain't Life Grand, Til the Medicine Takes, Space Wrangler Phish - Billy Breathes, A Picture of Nectar Umphrey's McGee - Anchor Drops
Just to name a few
Sugar Magnolia is such a good song, forgot about that one
Finally someone who understands!
Personally I prefer Junta, and Rift if we;re looking at studio albums and livephish vol 4if were looking at live but Go Phish!
Funny you should mention--you and @"Going Concern" mentioned your appreciation for Garcia and the Dead. This morning I'm listening to Bruce Hornsby's "Harbor Lights" album, on which Garcia was a guest (along with Pat Metheny, Brenton Marsalis, Phil Collins, Jeff Lorber, and Bonnie Rait). Really "cool jazz" atmosphere.
Phish, phish and more phish. When will you people learn? Phish is the past, present and future of amazing music.
Ohh, and Bloc Party, Vampire Weekend, Umphrey's McGee, LCD Soundsystem...just to name a few others.
For any undergroung hip-hop fans, Seattle based Common Market is worth checking out. Their self titled album and Tobacco Road are my two favorites. Binary Star was already mentioned, but their first album is probably one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time.
I've heard of Common Market, never really checked their stuff out. Recommend me something?
You ever heard of Blue Scholars? Byani is a classic album.
I am a huge fan of Blue Scholars and I was lucky enough to have seen them a few years ago. It was an amazing show. I take it you recommend them because of Sabizi. In terms of specific Common Market tracks, here are a few to get started: Winter Takes All, Tobacco Road and Connect For, 40 Acres and Re:fresh.
On another note, now that I've been listening to a bunch of hip-hop the past day or two, GangStar's 'Moment of Truth' should be listened to.
Some good choices here, probably won't have much different to add. Off the top of my head when I saw the thread title, no particular order....
All Zeppelin U2 - War (especially on vinyl....hits you so hard) Nas - Illmatic, It Was Written (maybe his best ever) Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt, American Gangster Garden & Villa - Gardens & Villa Helios - Eingya, Unleft Pretty much all Raekwon The Dig - Midnight Flowers All Explosions In The Sky Fight Bite - Fight Bite Flume - Flume Biggie - Born Again, Ready To Die Pink Floyd - Everything pretty much Radiohead - Everything, especially King Of Limbs and The Bends Atoms For Peace - Amok Beach House - Bloom Bonobo - Pretty much everything Com Truise - Galactic Melt Discovery - LP Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle Starfucker - Everything, it's all great The Glitch Mob - Drink The Sea The Gorillaz - G-Sides, Gorillaz Logic - Any of his work. Justice - Audio, Video, Disco And pretty much every Kanye Album
I'm a hip hop head so I'm biased but here goes...
Notorious BIG - Ready to Die Outkast - Stankonia Wiz Khalifa - Kush and Orange Juice Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced? Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA Pharoahe Monch - Internal Affairs Nas - illmatic Wu Tang - Enter the WU Dr Dre - The Chronic
on the topic of LCD Soundsystem, which really is pretty unique and innovative, checkout James Murphey's idea for the subway turnstiles. It's floating around the interwebz somewhere, I think it may have been on WSJ as well.
Daryl Hall dead on with his analysis of the Rock & Roll HOF:
http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/celebrities/20140507_John_Oa…
When I first saw your comment, I stopped at "Daryl Hall dead" and randomly got upset at the thought of him not being alive.
Beautifully stated by him. They should just call it the Music Hall of Fame these days. Anyone gets in.
@"adapt or die" Today just feels like one of those days where you want to crack open a brew at noon. Fast forward to tonight, indeed...nothing like getting ready, downing a Red Bull with your favorite records on.
'love this thread!
Gotta add Lana Del Rey's newest album Ultraviolence to this list...really unbelievable.
Also, Phoria's debut EP, Display.
Glad to see this thread is back. It's good timing too because I just picked up Phil Collins new album The Singles. It's a 2 disc "best of" collection he released to try to get some momentum going for a possible US tour in 2017.
There is one track on there I didn't know before that I really like called Wear My Hat. It reminds me of a Phil version of O.A.R./Paul Simon, if that makes any sense.
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Jay Z - Black Album Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket , Enema Of The State
About as diverse as it gets.
Toadies Van Morrison Pantera Weezer Machine Gun Kelly 2Pac Bob Marley
ying yang twins - united states of atlanta
Illmatic Madvillainy The Infamous Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Liquid Swords Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Late Registration
Steely Dan - Aja
I don't want to repeat, here's some I haven't seen yet.
Pink Floyd - The Wall Kanye/Jay Z - Watch The Throne Eagles - Hotel California
Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001
Weirdly, nobody mentions Dire Straits.
So, to mention: -Dire Straits (all)
and to confirm: -Pink Floyd (all) -Daft Punk - R.A.M.
Yeah, Dire Straits is some great stuff.
Also good mention of Random Access Memories, that's one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years for sure.
Only one that hasn't been listed from my top 3 is prob:
The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
Bit undecided if Frank Ocean's Blonde belongs on this list
