Some music is just made for them, so what are some of your favorite albums to listen to with headphones?

I'll start.....Radiohead-Kid A

Listen to it in the dark, almost makes the shadows craw across the room. A little creepy but very cool. The different arrangements of sound is perfect for headphone listening

    I find any of the Bon Iver records to be great with headphones, especially the latest.

    If you're talking about the song, then yes it is. The beginning blew my mind the first time I heard it with headphones.

    Zooropa, without a doubt.

    No Code, Darkside, Zeppelin II, and Springsteen's "Nebraska" round out my top 5.
