I’ve mentioned this in other threads, but since the advent of streaming I don’t really segregate music into albums in my head any more. As a result, this list is heavily skewed to stuff I listened to a long time ago.
I’m sure there are combinations of Dropkick Murphy’s, Flogging Molly, Gaslight Anthem or Social Distortion albums that would make this list but I would have to sort out which song is on which album first.
Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde
Pink Floyd - WYWH, Animals
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks, Moondance
Radiohead - The Bends, OK Computer
Steely Dan - Aja, Gaucho
.
Stone Roses - Stone Roses, Second Coming (see what I did there?)
James - Seven, Laid
Simple Minds - Sparkle in the Rain, New Gold Dream
RHCP - Mother’s Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magik
U2 - Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree
Laid is a great album beginning to end. I’ve played it for some friends who only know the title track and they were blown away by the depth of the music.
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here
Metallica: Metallica, Load
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication, By The Way (and then Stadium Arcadium)
John Mellencamp: Scarecrow, The Lonesome Jubilee
Led Leppelin: I, II

They’re touring in the US this fall. Hoping to finally see them live (even if it is with Johnny Marr, who I couldn’t really care about)

Interesting that your RHCP selections were entirely different from those listed earlier.
I’m definitely more of a fan of the MM/BSSM RHCP era.
No.
The Verve - A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns
Bob Dylan - Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited, or Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde
Notorious BIG - Ready to Die and Life After Death
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain
Radiohead - OK Computer and Kid A
This is the correct answer for Radiohead.
Kind of Blue is probably my most played album (possibly in the thousands of times at this point?) and somehow I’ve never listened to Sketches of Spain in total.
No.
Just because you didn’t get away with it…
