I do. It seems so long ago. So many things have happened since the last official FFD. Oh how I miss them so. I was sifting through some old albums and remembered this idea I had for a post; “Albums That I Can Listen to in Their Entirety”. In the spirit of Friday, I give you my list.
Oddly enough this was the album with which I DISCOVERED them…(pause for laughter)…Thank you, thank you. But seriously, they’ve single-handedly shaped my music taste into what it is today. Love it. Bought it. Watched this video and loved it even more. If you’ve got an hour…
The first of their albums that I bought and still my favorite. Listened to this so much in high school. Used to blast it in “my” ’85 Camaro. /sigh
Favorite track: jimmy
This one surprised me. I had the album for quite a while and one day just queued it up and once it looped back to the first track I was like, “I’m gonna go ahead and listen to it all again.” This was the only album not available to listen to on last.fm.
Favorite track: Nothing Better
More after the jump!
Of COURSE it’s on the list. Favorite track with AMV below.
Yet another high school classic. Obligatory addition really. There’s a reason it’s constantly included in “Top Albums of All Time” lists.
Favorite track: In Bloom or Lithium
Got into them during my stint at OSU. I honestly don’t even remember how. Maybe ZNB had something to do with it.
Favorite track: Toss up between 156 and She Spider
Only eight tracks but what an amazing first album…let’s not even talk about their second.
Favorite track: Paris
Out Hud – Let Us Never Speak of it Again
Which segues nicely into this album’s title. haHA! I love this album so much.
Favorite track: Old Nude
Oh the hours I spent listening to this album on repeat while playing Soul Calibur 2. I can’t play any Soul Calibur game now without thinking of it.
Favorite track: A Higher Place
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever to Tell
The sound of this album is so raw that it makes me like every track. Their albums since have not pleased me as much.
Favorite track: Maps
