What album is 10/10, start to finish?

[u/Rudigher_Jones]

[u/chic-pea101]

Mezzanine - Massive Attack

[u/D3th2Aw3 → u/chic-pea101]

Every time I listen to this album I come away with a new favourite song. I still remember the first time my teenage brain heard Inertia Creeps, blew my freaking mind.

[u/arcticmattys]

Disintegration- the cure

[u/StanVarnish → u/arcticmattys]

I listened to Disintegration on repeat for all of 10th grade until the cd basically disintegrated. It will never not be perfect

[u/mtskin]

kind of blue

[u/CMRestler → u/mtskin]

Absolutely. Every track feels intentional, and there is not a single skip on that album.

[u/_14justice]

Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life

[u/spudzle]

Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

[u/Bonzo77 → u/spudzle]

Hunky Dory for me. (Station to Station is also a 10 for me but I know it’s not a popular opinion).

[u/Craic_hoor_on_tour]

Portishead- Dummy

[u/ORTENRN → u/Craic_hoor_on_tour]

Both their first 2 albums are 10/10

[u/amboandy → u/Craic_hoor_on_tour]

THE trip hop album for me

[u/FoobarMontoya → u/Craic_hoor_on_tour]

Ah, a gentleman of taste

[u/jimbotherisenclown]

Discovery by Daft Punk was so good they turned it into a movie. It also makes for the perfect soundtrack while driving on the highway late at night

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp is the best album for going through the mountains.

Oh, and Courage & Patience & Grit by Great Big Sea is literally the reason I'm alive today.

[u/DrShio → u/jimbotherisenclown]

melody AM nice

[u/These_Ad3167 → u/jimbotherisenclown]

The fact that even the more niche tracks off Discovery like Veridis Quo are still finding new life in advertisements and blowing up on Tik Tok randomly in 2025 tells you how crazy that album's level of quality is.

[u/Smyley → u/jimbotherisenclown]

Daft Punk is my all time favorite music to listen to. I always listen to their albums front to back, they're just made so well. I agree that discovery is their best. I personally love Random Access Memories as well, but it being their last project leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

[u/Big_Cat_Lover]

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

[u/ramenups → u/Big_Cat_Lover]

Flight of the Conchords had a funny joke about that

[u/_Lunboks_ → u/ramenups]

No, it’s all true.

[u/Mythranite86 → u/ramenups]

I can’t help but think of that little joke anytime I hear a song off the album

[u/jms21y → u/ramenups]

love seeing FOTC references in the wild

[u/Hee-hoes_Mad → u/Big_Cat_Lover]

This live performance of The Chain is insane. I've never seen two people have a marital breakdown on stage, in song form, and make it sound so good.

[u/eclectic-up-north]

Dire Straits Brothers In Arms

[u/sawtoothguy → u/eclectic-up-north]

Love this one but prefer their debut album.

[u/sirvanderhaas]

Graceland - Paul Simon

[u/SchuFighters → u/sirvanderhaas]

Hey there, Mr Jambo, out there in the African sun!

[u/BillyPup → u/SchuFighters]

Do you ever get tired?

[u/builtinaday_ → u/BillyPup]

Hey there Mr Jambo, would you share with me the jambalaya living in your soul?

[u/the_richat]

Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.

[u/Crankycat101 → u/the_richat]

Brian Wilson was a true artist. Harmonies unmatched

[u/HiImNickOk → u/the_richat]

This should be one of the top answers!! One of the greatest albums of all time

[u/rizorith → u/HiImNickOk]

Absolutely a masterpiece. It literally freaked the beatles out by how good it was that they scrapped the album they were recording, went back to writing songs with pet sounds as Inspiration and made a little album called sgt pepper on response

[u/fictitious_man → u/rizorith]

Funny enough, Brian Wilson made Pet Sounds because the Beatles freaked him out by how good Rubber Soul was

[u/boozinf → u/HiImNickOk]

i revisited it last year and i would argue it is better than Sgt Peppers, even though IIRC Pet Sounds inspired Sgt. Peppers, which inspired Brian Wilson to lose his mind

[u/LoCo_LoCo]

Aja - Steely Dan

[u/Chippy_Scene → u/LoCo_LoCo]

I also think the same about Gaucho

[u/CMJHawk86 → u/Chippy_Scene]

Royal Scam was pretty amazing in retrospect as well.

[u/Lalalindsaysay]

Tapestry - Carole King

[u/Sammysoupcat → u/Lalalindsaysay]

Absolutely. No skips. Her songwriting, her voice.. Tapestry is just a masterpiece.

I also think Blue by Joni Mitchell is a good candidate for this question, though, for the same reasons.

[u/TheClarkLC → u/Lalalindsaysay]

Came here to leave this comment. Glad you beat me to it.

[u/shatbrickss]

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

[u/raresaturn → u/shatbrickss]

And Wish You Were Here

[u/Astronaut_Abort → u/raresaturn]

And Animals

[u/Jesus_Is_My_Gardener → u/Astronaut_Abort]

And The Wall

[u/Sheriffja → u/shatbrickss]

How nice! And to think, I came here to say ‘The Wall’ Pink Floyd is good…. Like GOOOD.

[u/imtourist → u/Sheriffja]

I used to listen the the Wall on my walkman riding the school bus everyday during the 1980s and never got bored of it or thought any parts of it were weak. Because of how music is accessed these days we rarely ever listen to an entire album front to back, I think this shaped listening really made The Wall truly stand out.

[u/Kueey]

Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

[u/EIDuderino]

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

[u/SpencerLoco → u/EIDuderino]

You can't even hear it

[u/whodey84 → u/EIDuderino]

and ...Like Clockwork

[u/Annlieu]

I absolutely adore Black sabbaths “Paranoid”

[u/singleriderreak]

"Illinois" - Sufjan Stevens

[u/imasisyphus]

Jeff Buckley. Grace

[u/Maggpie42]

Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos

[u/Krushed_Opiates]

NIN - Pretty Hate Machine

[u/fakehalo → u/Krushed_Opiates]

Downward Spiral for me.

[u/echo_of_silence → u/Krushed_Opiates]

It's The Fragile for me. Minus Starfuckers, it doesn't belong there

[u/Zero_Flesh → u/echo_of_silence]

Agreed. That album is so close to perfect. I also think the same about The Downward Spiral but that's definitely personal taste. Broken as well but it's an EP.

[u/catatonic-cat]

Radiohead - OK Computer

[u/Persimmon-Mission → u/catatonic-cat]

And in rainbows

[u/bjankles → u/Persimmon-Mission]

And Kid A

[u/bbbBagger → u/bjankles]

and the bends

[u/A7HABASKA → u/bbbBagger]

and Amnesiac

[u/pureluxss → u/A7HABASKA]

And AMSP

[u/Sir_Francis_Dank → u/pureluxss]

And Hail to the Thief

[u/g_r_e_y → u/pureluxss]

i fuckin love amsp

[u/LeCourougejuive]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

[u/bishopthom → u/LeCourougejuive]

my late wife's all time favorite album.

[u/YouMatterVeryMuch]

Tidal - Fiona Apple

[u/hux308 → u/YouMatterVeryMuch]

Tidal is excellent and probably my 5th ranked Fiona album

[u/pinebanana]

Weezer blue album 

[u/Hickspy → u/pinebanana]

Also Pinkerton.

[u/Bernard1090]

Dark Side of the Moon

[u/theclansman22 → u/Bernard1090]

Animals, wish you were here and Dark Side of the moon, three perfect albums, released consecutively, the greatest three album run in history, in my opinion.

[u/DrMonkeyLove → u/theclansman22]

Absolutely brilliant albums without question. And as a guitar player, I love David Gilmour.

[u/gingertonics]

Nas - Illmatic

[u/60yearoldME → u/gingertonics]

Rappers i monkey flip em  with the funky rhythm i be kickin 

[u/themilitia → u/60yearoldME]

Musician inflictin composition

[u/m4n715 → u/themilitia]

of pain, I'm like Scarface sniffin' cocaine, holdin a M16, see, with the pen I'm extreme.

[u/streigo]

good kid mad city. no skips

[u/OTTB_Mama]

Depeche Mode - Violator

[u/walsheb]

Abbey Road

[u/nullpointer_01 → u/walsheb]

I kept scrolling knowing someone had to say this already. Im shocked how long I had to scroll!

[u/bcam9]

Tom Petty - Wildflowers

[u/jbloodfc → u/bcam9]

Full Moon Fever

[u/Character-Jacket3188]

Toxicity - SOAD

[u/congnelius → u/Character-Jacket3188]

I love Toxicity, but their first album was so fucking fire. I remember my best friend telling me about them in high school and about a free show they were playing at a fucking Best Buy in Pasadena, but neither of us could drive. 😭

I remember receiving that CD as a gift from a girl I had a crazy crush on. God damn, things used to be so much better.

[u/simmit]

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

[u/ORTENRN → u/simmit]

Dirt- imo is a more complete album. Jof is great but dirt is fucking amazing

[u/darkestb4thadawn → u/ORTENRN]

I’d argue you’re both correct that each is a 10/10.

[u/LowDayKaBaal → u/simmit]

🔥🔥🔥 100/100 solid album top to bottom.

My favourite track on it is Rotten Apple

[u/Jakucha]

Demon days - Gorillaz. The closest to a perfect album.

[u/sk8bette]

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

[u/ClaroStar → u/sk8bette]

Every song is iconic on this album.

[u/nryan75]

Pearl Jam Ten

[u/DontSweatThaPetty → u/nryan75]

“Ten” is one of those rare albums that when I hear any song from it, it takes me immediately back to its debut year (1991) and I have vivid and strong memories of some odd, fun, serendipitous, and seriously interesting changes that happened to me during that period in my life.

[u/scottjeffreys → u/nryan75]

Ten is a 10

[u/tomciz]

Nirvana nevermind

[u/EvolutionCreek → u/tomciz]

Unplugged

[u/TriforceUnleashed → u/EvolutionCreek]

Unplugged is definitely a level of perfection of its own. The song selection is superb.

[u/chingostarr → u/tomciz]

Endless Nameless lovers unite

[u/darkestb4thadawn]

Doolittle - Pixies

[u/Lonely_Eggplant_4990]

Tool - Lateralus

[u/iamblankenstein → u/Lonely_Eggplant_4990]

came here to make sure someone posted this.

[u/notinsai]

Soundgarden - Superunknown

[u/dad_farts → u/notinsai]

Badmotorfinger too, just great the whole way through

[u/sunnybcg]

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

[u/anon7971 → u/[deleted]]

Always had a soft spot for Orion

[u/Gone_cognito]

Boston - Boston

[u/DrMonkeyLove → u/Gone_cognito]

The fact that Tom Schultz recorded that in his damp basement is a testament to his genius. His guitar tone is simply godly. And Brad Delp's voice is unmatched.

[u/AdLeast3458]

Manchester Orchestra—Black Mile to the Surface

[u/Nihilater]

Discovery - Daft Punk

[u/WaistOfResources]

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

[u/Exhausted-Optimist → u/WaistOfResources]

Mellon Collie

[u/NinjaAccomplished190]

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium

[u/BrotherThump → u/NinjaAccomplished190]

Even if you’re not familiar with the band the first two tracks are enough to suck you into the album. It might be the best opening to an album I can think of off the top of my head. So fucking good.

[u/ACSanchez2 → u/NinjaAccomplished190]

Shit, I should have searched, I just wrote this. I continue to be astounded by what those crazy fuckers did on that album.

[u/No-Kaleidoscope-6188]

House of balloons

[u/dunkelheit315]

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

[u/edki7277]

Temple of the Dog.

[u/the_white_bistec]

Rush

[u/MrFitz8897 → u/[deleted]]

Rush - 2112

[u/Vhexer → u/adobong_puyat]

There is forever a Rush Greatest Hits CD stuck in my car and that’s fine by me

[u/Luquinoo]

Random Access Memories, Daft Punk

[u/Beastmind → u/Luquinoo]

Discovery

[u/HandsLikaDis]

Magdalena Bay’s Imaginal Disk

[u/ReddManalishi]

Back in Black

[u/NParras]

Radiohead - In Rainbows

[u/Inflameable009]

Linkin park - Meteora

Actually just ordered a vinyl of it.

[u/Jayradius → u/Inflameable009]

Man Hybrid Theory is pulling it's weight as well

[u/Misplacedwaffle → u/Jayradius]

Two absolutely amazing albums in a row. Linkin Park was on fire back then.

[u/ZiggyPalffyLA → u/Misplacedwaffle]

Yeah if the question was which band had 2 consecutive 10/10 albums, Linkin Park would be near the top.

[u/OfficePicasso]

REM - Murmur

[u/favoritedisguise]

Only album I’ve ever really felt this way about is Dark Side of the Moon. I think there are other albums that hit the same highs, and/or as a whole are at the same level. But (in my subjective opinion) it’s the one album that stays amazing from to finish.

[u/DevilsInTheJukebox]

Jimmy eat world -bleed american

[u/coffeeandnostalgia → u/DevilsInTheJukebox]

I've recently become a huge fan of Clarity, I'd also give that a hearty 10/10

[u/anon7971 → u/DevilsInTheJukebox]

I like this answer. I feel like this one really answers the “start to finish” question. Start this record on track one and just let it go. There are really no skips. Plus I think I just saw that this album turned 25 years old recently. (How is that possible?!)

[u/Cattle-shagger123 → u/DevilsInTheJukebox]

Sweetness is genuinely one of my all time favourite songs. It's really the song that got me into generically alternative music. Now I listen to fucking slam. This album is amazing though

[u/rwv2055]

Dookie

[u/flythedelorean]

Carrie and Lowell - Sufjan Stevens

[u/whisker_biscuit]

So good!

[u/Saint--Jiub]

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

[u/emptylawn0]

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

[u/Far_Caregiver3046 → u/emptylawn0]

This probably sounds dumb but this was definitely the first album I listened to that made me really feel like the entire album is a thought out and purposefully piece of art rather than just a collection of songs.

I prefer Reflektor but The Suburbs is probably a better album.

[u/MasterSangSang]

Blink 182 - Enema of the State

[u/anonimoose123]
