Best albums to listen to in the dark?

I'll tell you what NOT to listen to in the dark

Suicide's Frankie Teardrop

Don't do it!

 

My points to most Brian Eno, too. My latest favourite is Cigarettes After Sex. Perfect to listen in the dark:

Well all/any Floyd tbh and also maybe..



Also like a bit of ..



Not to mention..a bit of ..

 

The Wedding Present- Seamonsters (it also happens to be the best album to listen to regardless of lighting)

 

Skip Spence Oar. Try it driving on a dark road at night.

 

Not a Billy Squier fan, but I'm pretty sure he had a song that had the refrain, "In the Dahk." (sic)
That dumb song is always going through my mind.

 

Roger Taylor "Fun In Space"
Love listening to this late at night on headphones in the dark. Very atmospheric.

 

Queen - "News Of The World"
Genesis - "Foxtrot"

Highly recommended nocturnal listening.

 

I always liked John Baldry's It Ain't Easy for that time of day.

I love it all but ending the night, tunes like Burn Down the Cornfield, and Flying. The latter finishes the record and the female backup singer says in the intro, "Since we know the words can we have a little less light please...?"

 

Pink Floyd - Animals
Alphonse Mouzon - Mind Transplant
Billy Cobham - Spectrum

 

The Song Remains The Same - Side Two

 

The track is called In The Dark off of his album Don't Say No

 

Lonely is the Night is another song off the same album that would also probably work.

Don't Say No Billy Squier Full Album Audio - YouTube

 

Might want to try any Sade album...

 

Tales from Topographic Oceans and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway for me.

 

Bob Dylan Triplicate

 

One of my favorites to listen to LOUD too

 

Hitchcock even tells you at the beginning to turn the lights off..

 

The acoustic set from Dylan's "Live 1966." It's amazing in the dark.

 

Manfred Mann Chapter Three can cut thru the darkness
and illuminate the mind. A worthy contender to the crown.
Manfred Mann Chapter Three is a contender for the winner
to this thread. It lulls you and then startles.

 

Tom Waits Bone Machine

 

Van Morrison 'Veedon Fleece'

 

I also think these two Albums are Great in dark/eyes shut..what have you..



sticking with MTV Unplugged..



Both amazing performances and well .. soundstage.

 

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000
