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?
3·1 day ago- I listen a lot to it. Some of my favorites albums (or tunes) I’ve been listening to most of my life since I was a little boy (now nearing my 60s)
- I have favorite recordings of certain pieces. Even more so in regards to classical music, which happens to be the genre of music I listen the most to and have been listening to since I was a child, thx to my parents listening to it and quickly allowing kid-me me to use their LPs (that was back in the 70s, they were kinda high-tech back then ;)
- I can sing the song and, when there are, I know the lyrics from memory. That’s one of the reasons I can safely say Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens are among my favorite French singers ever. The other reasons being that, for anyone able to understand French, they’ve written some of the most amazing songs ever… But there would be many more favorites of mine that have written master pieces, and not just in French ;)
