I listen to a ton of music on my computer, but lately I've been into listening to entire CDs and not cherry-picking songs. The art of an 'album' has been lost for a while. Most of the time the quality of an entire CD is sacrificed for radio-friendly singles and the rest becomes filler. There are very few CDs where all or most of the songs are varied enough in style, to be engaging, while the music and lyrics are consistently good. Or even rarer, when the whole album tells a story or puts the listener though a journey.

What are you favorite CDs? The ones you put on from the start to the very end? (excluding greatest hits and live cds) Not every single song has to be 'great', but you love the majority of it. I've divided my up based on active listening and when I'm trying to set the mood when I'm writing.

Here are a few of mine are:

Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral"
Peal Jam "Ten"
Radiohead "OK Computer"
Pink Floyd "Darkside of the Moon"


My go-to music when I'm writing

Moby "Play"
Massive Attack "Mezzanine"
Fluke "Puppy"
DJ Shadow "Endtroducing Dj Shadow"

What are yours?
