Jeff Buckley "Grace"
Ecliptica (Original album, not the revisited one) - Sonata Arctica
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
I listen to too much music to pick just one lol.
- Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
- AC/DC: The Razor's Edge
- Ozzy Osbourne: Blizzard of Ozz
- Black Sabbath: Dehumanizer
- Metallica: Ride The Lightning (shoutout to And Justice for All, tho)
- Foo Fighters: The Colors and the Shapes
- DragonForce: Inhuman Rampage
- Motorhead: Rock N' Roll
- Oasis: What's the Story, Morning Glory?
- Styx: The Grand Illusion

I should probably stop.
Pornography by the Cure. So dismal
It's a hard one.
- My beautiful dark twisted fantasy-Kanye
- Good kid Mad city- Kendrick lamar
- Will have to be a tie between any of lil Wayne's Carter series. Though Carter II might just ice it.
One is impossible.
- Rush - Grace Under Pressure (Moving Pictures is fantastic and the cliche choice, but there's something about this one I love.)
- The Knife - Silent Shout (Some reviewer called it "Haunted House" and that is the perfect descriptor. Eerie and intriguing electronic music.)
- The For Carnation - The For Carnation (What became of Slint after Spiderland. This one doesn't get anywhere near as much recognition, but I think it's the more mature work overall. Groovy, minimalist post-rock.)
- The Delgados - The Great Eastern (Hard to choose between their albums, too, but I think this one was a perfect straddling of their rockier bits and their symphonic dreampop that they leaned hard into later on. Great band!)
- R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant (This one or its followup: Document which won them more accolades, but I think is slightly less consistent. Their peak-songwriting, IMO.)
- Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children (I know a lot of people love everything they've done, but I think they've never really topped the atmosphere of this one.)
- Cocteau Twins - Treasure (At the time there was nothing else like it. There still isn't quite.)
- The Afghan Whigs - 1965 (One of their less-popular albums, but I think Dulli and co nailed the RnB rock formula with this one. Their newer stuff is also pretty great.)
- Basement Jaxx - Rooty (I'm torn between this and Kish Kash. Rooty is maybe slightly more consistent. Wall-to-wall banging big beat pop tunes. Fantastic production.)
- Vektor - Terminal Redux (I went through a metal phase for some years, and this one still stands out. Amazing thrash-prog with a vocalist who sounds like a banshee from outer space. Amazing stuff!)
- Skeletonwitch - Devouring Radiant Light (Gonna catch hell for this one. They were a very popular thrash band, then they fired their singer and went black metal. It was an unpopular decision with most of their fans. I think they knocked it out of the park. They haven't made an album since, though..)
- Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot - The Son of Chico Dusty (The [somewhat] underrated member of Outkast. This album goes hard. Lots of interesting collabs, too.)
- Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (Peak alt-hip-hop IMO. RIP Gift of Gab)
- Glenn Gould's recording of the Goldberg Variations.
I'd better stop...
tie between Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and Coletta's "Idealism". I can also confidently say anyone who likes Pink Floyd should check out Coletta.
Chikoi the Maid is really good https://chikoithemaid.bandcamp.com/
i'm really bad at describing music genres but it has this mixture of electronic and rock music that i really like. (it has no vocals btw)
i think my favorite song so far is Affliction https://chikoithemaid.bandcamp.com/track/in-affliction-yakui-the-maid-cover
The Mark, Tom, & Travis Show by Blink 182
The Story So Far self titled
Every time I hear Dumpweed from the start of that live album I am so happy. It’s played faster and with so much enthusiasm.
Hits the dopamine receptors just right.
Exactly right. From the moment the crowd fades in and that very first note is played. The energy!
Relapse by Eminem
The one that has pictures of my love ones both those with me and those I only have memories left. Its white and has gold trim bought it in a KMart in late 80s and its been with me for so many moves. It was one of the few things left behind when my house got robbed. So I thank them for that.
Blink 182 -Take of your pants and jacket
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
What a delightfully impossible question.
I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.
So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:
Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition
I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.
My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album
My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami
Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.
The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd or Hybrid Theory from Linkin Park
Computerwelt by Kraftwerk.
But Remain In Light by Talking Heads is a very close second.
IV by Black Mountain and Private Tales by Sleepy Sun.
I don’t really grasp genres very well so I’ll just call them rock. But I love these albums with all my heart, front to back.
Vitalogy - Pearl Jam
Can't pick one or two.
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie
London Calling - Clash
The Gift - The Jam
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Tin Drum - Japan
Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
Synchronicity - The Police
Remain In Light - Talking Heads
New Traditionalists - Devo
La folie - The Stranglers
