Anyone else here got an album they really enjoy from an artist they really don’t like? My example is definitely U2, have never really liked them at all, however their live album, Rattle and Hum, is admittedly, an excellent listen and an excellent example of a fantastic live album. Anyone else? submitted by /u/Louder247

What’s an album you only like 1-3 songs off of and hate the rest of? Which albums are they, which songs do you like, and why do you hate the rest of said album? My example would be Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crüe. Only the title track is enjoyable to me since I’m not a glam metal fan but appreciate the riffs and general vibe of that track. submitted by /u/NectarineConnect5482

If you were stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life with one album (any genre), what would it be? This is a very difficult one to answer because music changes with mood. Personally, I would choose Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy because the record covers a variety of Zeppelin’s sound. Try not to choose an artist’s greatest hits or any sort of compilation. Discuss why you chose your album and why it would be one you would not get bored of. …

Bon Jovi’s lead off singles are just… terrible on this new album. I’m a Bon Jovi apologist. I’ve been listening to them since I can remember, which is probably around 1990. I was SUPER excited to find out my local record store was going to be hosting the band next Friday on their album release date. I told my wife I was going to take a couple hours off work and go stand in line and get a couple of autographs. …

How to work with musical artists for album cover? Most of my shoots are for concerts, and I did my first shoot with a musical artist for an album cover. I’m used to editing the photos I have and just sending across, but for this shoot it’s more collaborative since the artist has her own vision for how the album cover should look. How should I think about balancing our ideas? To what extent is t…

Uncommon Opinion: I believe Animals is the best Pink Floyd album. It’s not for people with a short attention span. Three of It’s five songs are 10+ minutes. Inspired by Orwell’s Animal Farm, it’s a great critique of the corruption and social injustices found in the world today. Also, the music is outstanding and features some of Gilmore’s best guitar work and some of Water’s best lyrics. Does anyone else agree…

Wu-Tang’s rarest album is getting public play soon, says its NFT group owner Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, pictured on its current owner’s website. | Image: PleasrDAOVery few people have heard the only copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the Wu-Tang Clan album that disgraced pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli bought at auction in 2015.

Wu-Tang Clan: Rare album to go on display at Mona in Tasmania submitted by /u/jerrylovesbacon

What album do you think is going to get the “Pet Sounds” treatment in the next decade? Thanks in advance for any discussion. For reference, Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys , at the time of release, wasn’t a commercial success. However, decades after the album release it is now commonly deemed as one of the best albums of all time, and went platinum decades after its release. What album do you think will get this treatment in the next…

I love The Beatles’ White Album so much! Seen a few posts on The Beatles sub lately referencing tracks from the White Album so thought I’d throw them in here too! I know it probably goes against the grain in some ways since a lot of the hardcore Beatles fans seem to think that The White Album is too bloated, or would serve better as a single disc album. I wholeheartedly disagree. For m…

Is anyone else’s favourite album not from their favourite band? My favourite album of all time is Holy Diver by Dio but my favourite band is Black Sabbath (specifically with Ozzie). I wonder if there’s anyone else who’s favourite of all time isn’t from their favourite of all time submitted by /u/Blockhead1535

What is the most egregious example of an album where almost every song is indistinguishable from the rest? Taylor Swift’s new album has been getting a ton of heat for having a bunch of songs on it that sound virtually identical, which is a criticism that I agree with to some extent. But what are the absolute worst examples of this? I know I’ll probably get shit for this, but Audioslave’s debut felt like each song was either treading the same general …

Give me some “one album wonder” bands Have you ever encountered a band that had one amazing album and then kinda dropped off? Not just a one hit wonder, but an album that has multiple bangers? The only one that comes to mind for me is “Boston” by Boston. That whole album is concentrated classic rock: “More Than a Feeling” “Rock and Roll Band” “Smokin” “Let Me Take You Home Tonight”….

Is it just me or is the new Taylor swift album somewhat.. . .one dimensional? I’m not here to be a hater but I felt like my expectations were for something with a little wider range? I know the internet loves and worships her so I may be alone in this, and don’t get me wrong there are some songs that are really easy to connect with, it just didn’t feel as spectacular as I expected. Agree? Disagree? submitted by /u/…

Taylor Swift’s New Album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ Could Use an Editor: Review Over 16 songs (and a second LP), the pop superstar litigates her recent romances. But the themes, and familiar sonic backdrops, generate diminishing returns.

Taylor Swift surprised fans with a double album which made me wonder… what your favorite double album ever? I’m a big Beatles fan, so for me, The White Album takes it, but I will never forget my first listen to The Wall in its entirety and the psychedelic experience of watching the VHS. I’m also a Rolling Stones fan, seen them live a couple of times, and “Exile on Main Street” is such a magical classic. And with the recent death in The Allman Brothers…

What bands would you say you are a big fan of – but dont like their newer music? What band – and what album was the last that you liked? I ask this question because my niece is getting into a lot of bands that I grew up listening to – only when I was listening to them they were putting out their FIRST albums. I find it interesting that some of my all time favorite albums from these bands: she doesn’t really like them. She seems to like their newer music better. Here are a few of…
