Pretty much any album I listen to. That's sort of my benchmark for what I consider good music. If a musician can't entertain me for 40-70 minutes, then how good can they really be? Some examples (approx. chronological order):
- The Times They Are a-Changin' by Bob Dylan
- Freak Out! by The Mothers of Invention
- Revolver by The Beatles
- Safe as Milk by Captain Beefheart
- The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
- Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd
- Tago Mago by Can
- Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
- Surfer Rosa by Pixies
- Bleach by Nirvana
- Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden
- Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse
- Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater
- Feels by Animal Collective
- Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta
- Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV by Coheed and Cambria
- Crack the Skye by Mastodon
- Roll the Bones by Shakey Graves
- Strange Mercy by St. Vincent (What I'm listening to right now)
- More Than Any Other Day by Ought
- Zaba by Glass Animals
