So...What Album Did You Just Listen To?

Last one I listened to was a Jimmy Buffet DVD (does that count?)… It was a Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude kind of weekend, you know? :slight_smile:
Also on the laptop iTunes library that I started listening to was Carole King’s Tapestry. Classic.

AC/DC- Back in Black

Deuces Wild by B.B. King
Great tracks with all duets with famous artists, although the rap attempt with Heavy D is a stretch. I like “Dangerous Mood” with Joe Cocker the best and “Baby I Love You” with Bonnie Rait as a close second. Both BB and Bonnie are high on my list of greats, having worked with both on several shows over the years.

On the commute today, I dusted off Organix by The Roots. It’s their first album, and perhaps the best example of their jazz-based sound heard on the infinitely-easier-to-find Illadelph Halflife and Do You Want More?!!!??!. Even if you’re not a fan of hip-hop (but you are a fan of jazz), it’s probably worth trying to find.

(To that end, where did Leonard parts one to five go?)

Steal This Album! by System of a Down Very distracting, and funny.

Last actual album I listened to (you know big round and black with little grooves) would have to be:

Dark Passion Play by Nightwish. Amazing album but a little expensive on vinyl, lucky for me, my roommate wanted to get the cover sighed.

Point of No Return by Kansas. Great album, the cover art is unbelievable, and it cost a whole dollar used.

If you want to say album on a CD, I would say:

The Devil’s Bris by Voltaire. One of the best albums I’ve ever listened to, some really good songs musically and the others are really fun.

Blackfiel II by Blackfield. Perhaps a bit depressing but still great.

Here’s the most recent albums that I’ve listened all the way through while at work.

Barenaked Ladies - Stunt
This is a great album, without a doubt. The only way BNL could have improved this album was “If I Had a Million Dollars” was on this CD.

The Fratellis - Costello Music
I randomly found them while listening to Virgin’s Radio Xtreme alternative rock radio station two years ago online.

O.A.R. - Any Time Now (Live)
Great album, especially with “It Was a Crazy Game of Poker”, “About an Hour Ago”, “Black Rock” and “City on Down”.

Streetlight Manifesto - Keasbey Nights
Another solid album.

Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up!
It’s Reel Big Fish, it’s just a great album.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
This is one album, which you have to listen to all the way through. No exceptions, otherwise songs just kind of end abruptly…

Listening to the album Rust in Peace by Megadeth

Black Holes and Revelations - Muse

I’ll probably listen to three or four albums (at least) during the IRI round-trip.

…And Justice For All - Metallica

Cavalera Conspiracy - Inflikted

Set it Off -Thousand Foot Krutch

WWIII - KMFDM

Better Than Raw - Helloween

Colors by Between the Buried and Me (described by themselves as “alternative polka grunge,” I say progressive metal/metalcore)
The Bedlam in Goliath by The Mars Volta (Progressive Rock, Experimental)
The Pick of Destiny by Tenacious D (No genre can contain The D)
Pablo Honey by Radiohead (Alternative Rock?)
Technical Difficulties by Racer X (80s Shred Rock)

these are some of my recent listens, mostly on the way home from IRI. :smiley:

Today on the drive: Do You Want More?!!!??! by The Roots. Even as Organix has made inroads on the title, this one remains my favorite album by The Roots. You’ve got songs all over the map (be honest, would you expect “Distortion To Static” and “Silent Treatment” on the same album?), but they all work. If you’re looking to atone for cranking that Soulja Boy one too many times, you could do far worse than to start with this album.

I have a few in heavy rotation lately…home-work-car
Lenny Kravitz- 5
Lenny Kravitz- Greatest Hits
INXS- Greatest Hits
Various Artists- Goin’ Home- A Tribute to Fats Domino

Buddy Guy- The Very Best of…is in the alarm clock (!!!) I never get past the first song.

I’ve been on a Pinback kick, today. Lots and lots of Pinback.

On the commute to work yesterday: Be by Common. If it’s not the best hip-hop album of this decade, it’s in the top five.

On the commute from work yesterday: The Cool by Lupe Fiasco. A rare album (for any genre) where there isn’t a single lousy track on the album. His first album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor, was a great album even if it wasn’t the lightest one in history, and *The Cool *tends to be heavier (and better) still. This would be another contender for the top-five list.

I seem to be on a three-song kick. Baba Yetu from the game CivilizationIV, and Time of Season by The Zombies, and finally One by Metallica. It’s weird, but I enjoy them.

origin of symmetry- Muse
