Most Listenable Albums

Yes, because any smart person could tell that is what I was implying, despite it being not relevant to this thread in any way.

This would be why everyone calls you an idiot, cos you either misinterpret things for attention, or misinterpret things cos you're an idiot.

Either way, you're acting like an idiot, so stop it. This is a reasonably well flowing forum, don't try to pollute it please.

dude, you were the one who flew off the handle when I said I didnt understand why you didnt skip tracks on albums. I listen to music I like and skip music I dont like. You skip nothing. I get it. To me it's just music, nothing more and nothing less, but you take it more seriously. Are we on the same page on that part?

And as far as everyone calling me an idiot, I have lost track of the number of pm's I have received asking why I even waste time arguing with you.

see? right there. If you go back and look at the past posts you will see I indeed said that, but you would have to be an IDIOT to not see that I was joking. I even posted a smily to reiterate that I was joking, but you choose to think I was being serious. You started the drama here and are now turning it around on me.

Nice try. 👇

I swear I dropped it and you came back hours later and continued it, after everyone had clearly moved on. I pointed out your comment wasn't necessary, nowhere did I assume whether you were joking or not.

I said people are idiots, you didn't have to reply to that, but you did. I didn't START anything, you made the initial comment, then returned, and now you have your drama, like you have to have in every thread, cos nobody cares or pays attention to you if you don't.

Birds of a feather flock together, generally. Speaking, but I would agree, why are you even here arguing? Why are you not participating in the thread that had moved on until you brought it back?

Do you have that little to contribute to musical debate?

If I meant it as an insult, yes, its not necessary. I didnt mean it as an insult. The mere fact that you didnt zing me back proves that you took it offensively. That, or you have zero sense of humor.

At that point the discussion was about you, I and RR. It was painfully obvious that you were referring to us, and you are now trying to squirm out of it. I didnt take it offensively, it made me laugh, in fact.

You are doing just as much damage as I am with your continual holier than thou attitude.

Right back atcha.

I chose to focus on the discussion, you were arguing that movies have plots, that you didn't see the same with albums. I was trying to find out why, so I glossed over your comment cos that wasn't what I was interested in.

If you knew what a concept album was, you'd understand, but you said "I don't understand, but ok, that's your way.". Whatever, what's done is done.

Yes, and? When did I deny referring to you? It took you about a page to grasp my point, it should have taken one post.

Right back at me? What, the comment about having little to contribute to musical debate? This is what, you're tenth post here...ever? I'm one of the members who has contributed most to this music forum, probably ever. Not saying that's a big deal, just pointing out how needless your comment was.

Odd.

Anyway, those listenable albums, eh?

I know what a concept album is, its just that I dont take music as seriously as you do. I listen to music to relax, not to recognize a plot or storyline. just like some people watch a martial arts movie just to see the action, not for a story.

So me joking with you, telling you you are full of shit, while you referring to others as idiots....one is necessary and the other is not? And I am not saying I know alot about music, I never claimed to be Kurt fecking Loder. I have no doubt in my mind that you know more about music than I do. But that doesnt mean you have the right to question me posting here.

Anyways, yes, back to listenable albums. Nevermind by Nirvana is an easy listen, no skipping there for me.

Should this not just be called the well rounded albums thread?

Well, not unnecessarily. For instance, I think Disintegration by The Cure is a perfectly well rounded album, however, I won't say it's the most "listenable" album I own. It's not because of bad tracks (which there are none of) but because of the mood and atmosphere it sets and it's something you have to be in the mood for, otherwise, at least IMO, I don't see it being very accessible album. That's my interpretation anyway.

Yeah that's a fair shout.

I dunno about that, but the more I think on it, I keep coming up with another album that I can listen to over and over without skipping a track....

EPMD: "Strictly Business" and "Unfinished Business."

they come here in June, going to see them. 😄

In recent memory, Zeitgeist by The Smashing Pumpkins.

It has one of the highest amount of listens/time owned statistics of all the CDs I own, I think.

OK Computer - Radiohead
Gauze - Dir en grey
In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson

Are 3 that I find really easy to listen to. Though there are many.

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

I thought of two more albums I can listen to without skipping:

Beastie Boys: Ill communication and Licensed to Ill.

Nice 3!

Personally I think if you have to skip songs you probally bought a nickleback album or some other craptastic group who writes songs to be on the radio.

I don't own an album where i have to skip a song, but sometimes I will put certain songs on that I want to listen to. Some better examples are....
Anything by Mike Patton (i.e. Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, FNM, etc.)
Anything by Rush
Anything by Pink Floyd
Anything by Yes
Anything by Zappa
Anything by Al Di Meola
Anything by Genesis (at least pre 80's)
Anything by Porcupine Tree
Anything by King Crimson
Anything by Smashing Pumpkins
Anything by David Bowie
Anything by Camel
Anything by Dream Theater (especially Scenes from a Memory pt. II)
Brain Salad Surgery, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Tarkus, Trilogy, and Pictures at an exhibition by Emerson Lake and Palmer.
Anything by The White Stripes
Funeral and Neon Bible by Arcade fire
Era Vulgaris by QOTSA
Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking by Roger Waters
Depois do Fim by Bacamarte
Anything by Le Orme
Anything by Premiata Forneria Marconi
Anything by Mahivsihnu Orchestra
Anything by Return to Forever
Anything by The velvet underground
etc.

Exactly.

I think I have been cyber hypnotized. Now, when listening to a CD, I feel bad when skipping tracks.
