Wow, I almost never listen to albums anymore -- I moved into mp3s at such an early stage in my musical development, I never spent the time needed to appreciate how songs are curated into an album. With that said, there are still some physical CDs I schlep around when I move, and I remember them fondly as a single unit of music. The ones I can remember off the top of my head:
- Picaresque, by the Decemberists [1] - Nightmare Before Christmas, by Danny Elfman [2] - Fashion Nugget, by Cake [3]
[1] My first taste of that band. Each song is a perfect introduction to the Decemberists in its own way. [2] Don't ask, I can't explain, there's just something about this soundtrack. [3] The funny thing is, I almost never listen to these songs individually anymore. I tend to skip 'em when they come up on my ipod. But as a unit, they move so smoothly into each other.
I also have Apollo 18 and a couple other TMBG albums. John Linell could pretty much have both my kidneys and my left lung if he just asked for them.
