Album suggestions?

[an anarchist]

I got Spotify premium free trial, I was hoping I could get some album suggestions from you lot. I like to listen to whole albums, I'm a cultured man or something like that
prog rock is my favorite genre.
I recommend the album In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. Their album Red is also fantastic.
Intro tracks for the respective albums

The Beatles are also great, I love their whole discography. My favorite album by them is Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band
@Sgt. Pepper I'm assuming we might share a favorite Beatles album?
But any genre though! Drop an album name!

 

[JustGeorge]

Alice In Chains- Self Titled

If you like King Crimson I'd also suggest Yes; Emerson, Lake, & Palmer; Pink Floyd; Genesis; Kansas; Brian Eno; maybe even Jethro Tull. I can suggest albums for any of these bands that you might be interested in.

You probably know these - two of my favourites:

 

[Sedim Haba]

I'm not a big fan of albums. Most of the time, there's only a couple of tracks that are any good.

Some notable exceptions:

Genesis

Emerson Lake & Palmer: Works

Leftfield: rhythrm & stealth

Rhythm and Stealth - Wikipedia

 

[RestlessSoul]

Hunky Dory - David Bowie
Untitled (aka Led Zep IV) - Led Zeppelin
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Rastaman Vibration - Bob Marley and The Wailers

One thing these recordings all have in common is that they were very much conceived and executed as albums, and not simply as collections of songs.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Alice In Chains- Self Titled

Alice In Chains - MTV Unplugged is my personal favorite. The way Layne's and Jerry's voices compliment each other brings chills at some points.

The SAP and Jar of Flies EPs are great to listen to as an album as well.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Pink Floyd - The Wall

You put that one ahead of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here? Just interested...

Depends on my mood.

 

[RestlessSoul]

Depends on my mood.

All three are pretty dark, tbf.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a favourite of mine; what a mercurial talent poor old Syd was, God rest his soul...

I would also put in a word for Animals, as well.

 

[Stevicus]

The Who - Tommy
The Who - Quadrophenia

Two of my favorites.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

prog rock is my favorite genre.

If by progressive rock you mean rock of the mid-60s to early 70s, my favorite albums are Physical Grafitti (Led Zeppelin), Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (Derek and The Dominos [Eric Clapton]), Europe '72 (Grateful Dead), Live at The Fillmore East (Allman Brothers), and Dark Side Of The Moon (Pink Floyd).

A lot of solid pop rock albums were produced in that era as well. I'm thinking of Tapestry (Carol King), Bookends (Simon and Garfunkle), and Tea For The Tillerman (Cat Stevens)

 

[amorphous_constellation]

try 666 by aphrodite's child. It was a greek band, and the album seems to draw on biblical ideas

 

[ChristineM]

The Who - Tommy
The Who - Quadrophenia

Two of my favorites.

My choices also

And anything by wishbone ash, the james gang and hawkwind.

Edit:
How could i forget Thin Lizzy and Jethro Tull

Edit 2:
You could try the Woodstock album, there is some terrible stuff on it but there are also some gems from when some really great bands were just starting out. It could give you some ideas

 

[crossfire]

If you like prog rock try Rush Moving Pictures. For prog metal, try Tool Lateralus.

If you want to try Alice In Chains, Dirt is a masterpiece.

 

[Stevicus]

Also, Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced is great. Electric Ladyland is another good one.

And then there's his rendition of "Wild Thing" which is one of the greatest recordings ever made:

 

[ChristineM]

If you fancy something a little different

Curved Air, the Strawbs, Pentangle, Portishead and if you can find anything, Blodwin Pig

I watched the Woodstock movie recently, for the first time in over 40 years. As well as some great music, the film makers, perhaps unwittingly, bequeathed a fantastic social document.
