Might I suggest the genre of progrock! But some other specific ones: -Be Free by Loggins and Messina (one of my fave instrumental sections of all time)
-Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming by Green Day
-Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby Stills and Nash
-A Day in the Life by the Beatles
-Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
-Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney
-Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin
-Sing About Me by Kendrick Lamar
-Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
-pink moon by nick drake (quiet, acoustic, folk?)
-from left to right by bill evans (jazz)
-selling England by the pound by genesis (rock, prog)
-pieces of a man by gill scott-heron (soul)
-blue by joni mitchell (folk) some of my personal favorites across multiple genres
He flows ambient and pop together in a way that services the whole. Perfect in many ways. This feels like cheating. The Beatles- Abbey Road- ok this is cheating.
Bob Dylan- Royal Albert Hall- inventing the acoustic —> electric set
Reed/Cale- Songs for Drella: the best story/concept album
Kendrick Lamar- good kid m.A.A.d city: same reason^
Parquet Courts- Light Up Gold: relentless
Animal Collective- Feels: the manic descent towards “Banshee Beat”, the holy ascension of “Turn Into Something”
The first one that came to mind was Abbey Road haha
I feel like The Beatles did this pretty well in general but maybe I feel that way due to the amount of times I listened at different stages of my life. John Prine - The Tree of Forgiveness
Father John Misty - I Love you honeybear
Neil Young - On The Beach
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
