30 perfect albums from start to finish
In a digital age where streaming - especially Spotify - is central to how we listen to music, buying an album is a practically non-existent adventure. How many of us go to a record store, listen to an album from beginning to end and go home with it under the arm? Very few of us. It is easier to jump quickly from song to song until we find a favorite and quickly put it on a list with a pompous name, ready to be heard at any time.
But it was not always so. There was a time when listening to a record completely was a unique pleasure, thought, and organized by musicians who created perfect cultural pieces that marked entire generations.
These are my thirty albums that fit that definition of greatness (in no particular order).
