Eluvium - Every album he's created

He has some good stuff. I especially like "Indoor Swimming at the Space Station" and "Prelude for Time Feelers".

Yes those are awesome. I honestly can't think of a single song he's done I would consider less than brilliant.

I love Caffiene. If you lick him he taste like COUS COUS.

Since we're discussing the Blues....

Son House


Just anything.  The only albums that are just his that I've seen were his 78RPMs from 1930.  However, there are great compilations out there.  Just look for albums with "Preachin Blues" and "John the Revelator" on them.

There have been literally dozens of covers of "Death Letter"...and not one is as good as the original.

I misread the title when I first glanced - I thought you were asking "what albums can you NOT listen to all the way through because they are so good and you are overwhelmed and have to take a break?"

In answer to that alternative question I was going to suggest Suede's "Dog Man Star".

In answer to the actual question, well, I am old, so there are lots of them.

Clutch - From Beale Street to Oblivion
Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies
The Who - Who's Next
Finntroll - Nattfödd
The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & The Lash
Ministry - Psalm 69

And, as my little guilty pleasure:

I read the first few, then I decided to do my own incomplete list.  I'm sure every one of these is a repeat....but:
(I aribitrarily decided to only choose one album per band)

TV on the Radio - Dear Science,
Ween - Pure Guava
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things
The Beatles - Revolver
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
The Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume One
The Apples in Stereo - Her Wallpaper Reverie (this one is actually weird.  I like specific songs from New Magnetic Wonder more than this album, but Her... is a better complete album IMO)
They Might Be Giants - The Else (another wierd one....I just like the totality of this album)
Radiohead - OK Computer
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
The Pixies - Doolittle
Weird Al - Poodle Hat
