Vital Remains - Let Is Pray
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Crass - Penis Envy
Aus-Rotten - The Rotten Agenda
Dayglo Abortions - Feed Us a Fetus
It’s somewhere between those this year. It would’ve been totally different five years ago, will be totally different five from now.
Currently I’m in a rediscovery / re-appreciation phase so:
Sinead O’Conner - The lion and the Cobra
The Doors - Morrison Hotel
Probably all time favourite, although it fades in and out of rotation:
Dream Theater - Metropolis pt2
The Downward Spiral [NIN halo 8]
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.
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV.
That album is a masterpiece.
Nirvana - Nevermind
No question. I got it when I was 15 in '91. Over the years, I’ve seen countless bands of various genres. My tastes evolved, and frankly, some of the records and CDs I loved at that age have not held up as my taste and musical appreciation broadened, but this one’s timeless. For a while, I preferred In Utero for its rawness, but Nevermind is basically flawless in my opinion.
Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park) is objectively the greatest album of all time in my subjective opinion
My Head is an Animal (Of Monsters And Men) is probably my personal favorite though
Daft Punk - Alive
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd or Hybrid Theory from Linkin Park
Dream Theater, Metropolis Part 2
I don’t really know. Kinda depends in the mood I’m in I guess.
Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Alice in Chains - Facelift
FIDLAR - FIDLAR
Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
EDIT (some more):
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Pearl Jam - Ten
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
I got this for dissolved girl (knock knock, neo) and the rest of it sounds different. It’s a good different. I was disappointed at first, but - unlike another hit/album mismatch finger eleven - I grew to really like the rest of it as a completely separate entity from the catalyst track that made me get it.
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.
Of course this changes over time but right now it’s probably a toss up between Marquee Moon by Television and 154 by Wire.
I have a few. In no particular order:
It’s a Kind of Magic -Queen Time -ELO Howard Jones greatest hits Ten Summoners Tales - Sting Asia-Asia Heavy Metal Soundtrack
