    Bro I honestly can’t even name 10 albums. I’ve never liked listening to albums because after the singles are over most of the songs suck imo. I basically have one playlist and it’s just all of my favorite songs from every genre mixed into one thing, and it’s basically the only thing I listen to lol.

      Not going to downvote you because your tastes are your tastes. But it’s kind of sad that the artists you like can’t come up with more than one or two good songs per album. Or maybe it’s the industry itself since so few people buy albums. When I used to buy albums my favorite song was never the hit single.

        Haha yeah people always bash on me because all my favorite songs are always just the top 100 or whatever… but that’s why I like them, they’re normally the bands upbeat, catchy songs lol.

      @Klystron @DrSleepless

      I can name a lot more than 10 albums, but yes in some cases many of the songs are not interesting. In some extreme cases I have regretted not just buying the single instead.

      There are a few albums, though, where I like every single song. But I couldn’t be constrained to just them for my whole life, as that would exclude some really good stuff.

      Same! I think the only album that I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed every song was Adele’s 25.

        Get some weed and put on dark side of the moon.

        The album is an art form. It’s just one that the modern media industry has destroyed.

          I grew up on classic rock, my opinion still stands. Also I’m pregnant, so I had to cut the weed off :(

            Maybe, Nirvana Nevermind? Fleetwood Mac rumours? Even meatloaf bat out of hell?

            The MJ and dark side are just exquisite, but have you listened to an album in a situation where all you can figure out to do is listen to an album?

            I’m an elder millennial. I suspect you’re younger than me. We’re done having children. You’ve just got to not have screens.

            This whole thread is making me want to go find a bong. Man I remember when I saw the Pink Floyd laser show in college at the planetarium. Everyone was high as balls.

              I’m in the middle of the millennial generation. Music just isn’t my thing. I prefer stories, I enjoy podcasts and old radio shows. Not everyone is going to like the same things, some prefer movies, etc. I appreciate you taking the time, but you just sound pretentious. I’ve listened to every album you named, my opinion still stands. And that’s okay, because it’s my opinion, just like how you like and can name all these albums and it’s your opinion that these albums are great.
