My Take

In my case, the albums that have become my favorites are the ones I feel I absolutely have to listen to from start to finish. Of course, there are standout tracks, and some, though good, might pale in comparison to others. But it’s the experience of listening to the entire album that captivates me.

Examples:

  • "Flowerboy" by Tyler, The Creator.
  • "Affinity" by Haken
  • "Brat" by Charli XCX
  • The debut album by Gentle Giant

What are your favorite albums and why?

The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation

Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill

C2C - Tetra

Fuel Fandango - Aurora

Sepultura - Chaos AD

Hard Funk Trio - Mustang

These are all albums I can listen to and genuinely enjoy every track ... I can't give a particular reason. Most albums have tracks that I prefer to skip over, just not these ones.

Looking at it, that's a pretty international lineup ... purely by accident, lol ... artists from the UK, Canada, France, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina :-)

Always good to see someone pick ...Jilted Generation over Fat of the Land. I do like the latter, but MFTJG is perfection.

Yes.

I loved Fat of the Land, had the available singles before the whole album dropped. But not every song is that good.

Experience is close for me (plus it's a nostalgia trip), and I also enjoy all of Invaders Must Die.

But Jilted is wall to wall Goldielocks perfect porridge :-)

Fuel Fandango: "Despertaré" - one of my favorite videos ever.
