This Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums ) lists 24 albums (excluding soundtracks and greatest hits albums) as having sold 30 million or more copies.  How many of the 24 have you listened to in full?

EDIT:  "listened to in full" means either that you listened to it in one sitting from start to finish or have otherwise heard every song.


For me, it's 1-5:  Back in Black. Led Zeppelin untitled, Sgt. Pepper, Metallica's Black Album, and Abbey Road.

Around 20, don't mean I like them all though.

Missing (no, not really) Celine Dion and one or two others.

Just five, I guess.

It's easier for me to list the one's I HAVEN'T:

Shania Twain - Come On Over
Michael Jackson - Dangerous
Celine Dion - Falling Into You
Adele - 21
Celine Dion - Let's Talk About Love
Santana - Supernatural

Even if you include soundtracks/greatest hits, there are only two more:  The Bodyguard and Dirty Dancing.

Led Zeppelin IV
Metallica
Nevermind
Bat out of Hell too probably, as I remember listening to my parents CD of it when I was a kid.
I feel like I must have heard Dark Side of the Moon at some point as well, but I can't actually be sure.

A paltry number  :lol but not unexpected, since I've never really listened to pop music or very much that was released before the mid 80s.

I suppose some of this is age, but while I don't target this at any one person, I don't know how you move through life not having heard "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "Abbey Road" or "Thriller" or "Zeppelin IV".  These aren't just records; they are cultural icons.   It turned out these are some of my favorite records, but I didn't "choose" to hear them.

Ten, but part of it depends on what we mean by "listened to in full." I've never in my life made a point to sit and listen to Thriller. At the same time I've heard every song on the album countless times. I suspect that's probably true of Rumours, as well.

If you included greatest hits albums, I'd add one to mine:  Eagles Greatest Hits.


it depends on what we mean by "listened to in full." I've never in my life made a point to sit and listen to Thriller. At the same time I've heard every song on the album countless times. I suspect that's probably true of Rumours, as well.

Good point.  My intent was to include either a straight through listen or having heard all of the songs separately.


I suppose some of this is age, but while I don't target this at any one person, I don't know how you move through life not having heard "Dark Side Of The Moon" or "Abbey Road" or "Thriller" or "Zeppelin IV".  These aren't just records; they are cultural icons.   It turned out these are some of my favorite records, but I didn't "choose" to hear them. 

As I pointed out in the thread that inspired this one, if I don't like a band or the one or two songs I get exposed to off an album, I'm not likely to have listened to it.  I mentioned Thriller in the other thread.  As for Floyd, I liked the "we don't need no education" song when I heard it back in 7th or 8th grade, but I've never otherwise liked anything I've ever heard by Floyd, so I have and never have had any reason to listen to any full album.  All of the albums on the list were iconic (hence why they sold so well), but if you don't like a band, there's just no reason to listen to entire albums.

1-5, or more specifically, 2. A couple years ago, I listened to Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall in full. Those are the only two albums from the 30+ million lists. Goes to show how little I've been exposed to new music up until last year!

Even if I were to mention individual songs I've heard, aside from the two PF albums, the only other songs from any of these albums that I've ever heard are "Hells Bells" from AC/DC and "Black Dog" from Led Zeppelin, and I only even know Black Dog because of the roulette I hosted a while ago.

Not even by osmosis?  I mean, I strongly dislike The Eagles, but when I was in college, everyone brought their records around in a milk crate, and you'd be hard-pressed to find even two or three rooms on a floor that didn't have one of Eagles Greatest Hits, Dark Side Of The Moon, Led Zeppelin IV, Abbey Road or Rumors (you could add Steve Miller's Greatest Hits and The Dead "What A Long Strange Trip" as well).   I was a metal head going into college, and I learned/listened to SO MUCH music in college it was ridiculous, a lot of it inadvertently or passively.

You've never heard "Stairway To Heaven" or "Hotel California"? 

Man.  I can't imagine that.  That's like me never having heard "Hound Dog" or "Twist And Shout".   I really don't mean this judgmentally, but observationally: if I hear an artist I like referencing someone, I will generally try to expose myself to it, just to be familiar with it.

I'm at 19. But I'm not a fan of all of them either. I think I've heard Appetite For Destruction once. I like GnR, but I rarely listen to a full studio album by them. I've heard Nevermind, but I don't like it.

And I've heard 1 (Beatles) and Their Greatest Hits (Eagles), too - quite often actually ;)

The ones I haven't heard are
both Celine Dion albums,
the Shania Twain album,
the Alanis Morrisette album and
Back In Black (though I surely have heard most of the songs on there).

You and I apparently had very different college experiences.  You apparently lived on campus and in a dorm (and probably graduated in four years like a normal person).  I lived at home.  I went to one of the UC schools for my first year and spent most of my time with my best friends who had the same taste in music that I did.  I changed schools and majors multiple times over the next more years than I care to admit (all at either community colleges or commuter universities).  My best friends remained, and most of the new friends I made had similar tastes in music.

From that criteria in the OP.

Back in Black
Led Zeppelin IV
Appetite for Destruction

I don't know why I haven't listened to the Black album in full.  Just haven't had the chance or the investment to listen to it in full.  Obviously, I've heard all the key songs.  Also, the only other album from that page I've heard in full was Hybrid Theory.

13 or 14 (can't remember for sure if I heard all of The Wall, but I think so). 

Of the first 9 and sold over 40 million, I have heard 6 of those (and at one point, owned them).  It might be 7 if I have heard the entirety of the Eagles greatest hits.  I never listened to all the songs on that specific album.  But pretty sure I have likely heard most or all of the songs at one time or another, so no idea whether that counts.

Oh! I have heard Stairway to Heaven before, so that'll make an extra song I've heard from any of these albums. As for Hotel California, though, I don't believe I've ever heard that one.

I'm sure once you hear it you'll go "ooh that one"  ;)

Either way, I strongly recommend listening to that song, it has a great guitar battle at the end! The acoustic version from Hell Freezes Over is amazing as well.

I gave it a listen just now. It was good, but I didn't recognize it at all. Well, either way, I guess I can add that to the small list of songs I know from best-selling albums I've never listened to now!
