Have you ever binged a whole band’s discography in one go?

Cull together everything you can get your hands on by a certain artist and then just play the entire collection in one sitting.
As far as I can recall, the only band I've ever been able to do it with was The Moody Blues. MAYBE Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Laurie Anderson, Wall Of Voodoo and Art Of Noise.
When I worked at Cedar Point, summer `78, I lived in the dorms just outside the park and, way down the other end of the hall I lived in, there was a fairly large room with about 5 guys living in it and they were all huge Moody Blues fans. They played their records nearly all day, every day and, the Moodies had JUST released their 9th studio album, Octave, just about the time I got there in early July.
I'd been at least marginally interested in the band several years before this, I already had their first American album and Days Of Future Past, and recently heard, On The Threshold Of A Dream on the radio but, that's about as far I got with them.
I spent a bit of time hanging out with these guys at the end of the hall and was starting to get into The Moodies a bit. Once I got back home at the end of Sept, I decided to go buy all of their records I could find up to that point. Then, I recorded them all to cassettes so I could listen to each non-stop and not have to deal with playing the records.
One night, I decided to try listening to the entire collection in one go so, just after dinner one summer night, I went up to my room on the third floor and sat in the corner of my room with just one dim light on and did nothing but sit there and listen to all 9 studio albums (I'm not sure if I included the 3 live sides on the Live + 5 album), and really got into the music while just eating pretzel roods and drinking root beer. I had a great time doing that!!
I planned it so that, just as Twilight Time played on Days Of Future Past, it actually WAS twilight time in real life and the music would match the mood and feel perfectly!! The entire evening took about 6 hours.

Just so ya know, I wrote and at least THOUGHT I posted this several weeks ago!! I don't know what's going on with GAG but, there's been a lot of my questions that they post, I get responses, and then, about week or two later, they tell me I still never posted them!! Then HOW DID I GET RESPONSES, ALREADY?

I love spending a night listening to a full discography. Usually my stuff would be heavy but last weekend i spent a night listening to fleetwood mac and eating some wings and drinking mtn dew during that lol. I dont have any physical copies of their albums right now but my turntable has bluetooth so i was able to play it from my phone to the stereo

[FunkyMonkee]

When you got to, "Then Play On", which version did you play or did you get all three and the singles combined?

[TheRagingMetalhead]

Welp that makes me realize that i didn't truly hear full discography lmao because i only played the UK version

[FunkyMonkee]

I think that's the full version but without the singles.
The album came out first and a week later, "Oh Well" came out then The Green Manalishi, then, Albatross and Dragonfly about a year later.
In America, there were only 12 songs on the first pressing of the album and the entire album was ignored. A couple years later, radio started playing, "Oh Well" and it became a minor hit so, when the album was re-pressed in the mid `70's, they added, "Oh Well", stripped off two more songs that were on the British version and jumbled up the rest of the playing order!

The American version only had 12 of the British songs on it and was completely ignored. "Oh Well" came out a week later and radio started playing that and made it a minor hit so, Reprise decided to repress the album in the mid `70's with 2 more British songs stripped from it, "Oh Well" added and the rest were jumbled in a completely different running order.
"The Green Manalishi" came out a few months later and about a year after that was, "Dragonfly" and "Albatross".

Maybe but not sure. Most of the time I'm just listening to my liked song list on Spotify or discovery weekly or similar song radio. But every now and then when I discovery something new I like, I click on the artist and just play through their stuff but I don't know if they have everything on Spotify or not.

I used to spend many nights like that, yes...

a best friend to my older brother had the most incredible collection of -all kinds of metal- ever... vinyl, cassettes, CD's and more... a full bedroom of it, lol

[AI Opinion]

Yes, and it was magical 😄
I did it with Pink Floyd first, then later with Radiohead and Björk. I turned my room into a little “cinema for my ears” with low light, snacks and no phone, just like you with the pretzels and root beer. Matching “Twilight Time” with actual twilight is such a beautiful, cinematic touch 🌅🎧
