Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
Shine On is so beautiful. Then the middle songs, especially the title track, scratch that more catchy, accessible itch.
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
My dad would fall asleep to this album when I was growing up. It’s really special.
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.
Demon Days by Gorillaz
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
“We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is tied for me
YESSS
I carry that album in my soul for real haha
I’ve tried so hard to like Modest Mouse, but they just don’t do it for me and I don’t know why.
Not so easy to answer! But Vivaldis four seasons has been a great companion over the last 50 years
Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness.
It is not to my tastes anymore, but at the time when I was very swept up in it, it was truly an immersive and transformative experience. As a piece of art, I feel that it was a tremendous success.
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.
Album I would listen to start to finish on any given day: Rubber Soul by the Beatles.
Favorite overall album to listen to: Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins.
Most important album: London Calling by The Clash
Chutes is legendary
Feel like it was a defining sound for many millennials.
The Battle of Loss Angeles by RATM, probably?
Soul Food by Kognitif if we’re measuring it by how much I love it relative to it’s popularity
Had to scroll too far for a Rage album 🫡 it’s funny how New Millennium Homes is still so fucking relevant (I mean they all are but I fkn love that song).
Goldberg Variations. In particular, the 1981 recording played by Glenn Gould.
Murray perahias recording I reluctantly think may be superior.
Yes, this. So much character. Gould was an amazing pianist!
Pixies - Trompe Le Monde
Everyone I’ve talked to seems to gravitate to Doolittle or Come On Pilgrim as a favorite Pixies record, or the album that defines their vibe. But for me this album was my entry point not just for them, but to a bigger musical world and I’m forever grateful for that.
Such a great album!
Air, Moon Safari
Fuck yeah, my wife and I used to make love to this album.
Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged
If I had to pick just one.
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
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
