Collection of Your Favorite Albums
« on: 29 Jul 2005, 02:38 »

I'm pretty sure a thread like this wasn't made (used the search tool, yay for me!) so if there is, be gentle with me :P

So yeah, what the title says? I'm interested how different and how similar we are with our taste in music. So here we go!

    Broken Social Scene -
You Forgot It In People
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Deerhoof - Apple O'
The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place
Death From Above 1979 -  You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
The Postal Service - Give Up
The Shins -  Chutes Too Narrow
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire[/list:u]

There was a thread of top twenty albums, or maybe twenty five, a little while ago. Try searching for that.

Points for effort, though.  That thread was a few months ago now so it will have sunk into the depths of the forum, plus it's hard to use the search function unless you know precisely what you're looking for and what to type in to the relevant fields.

Still probably a decent enough margin of time to resurrect it with a fresh thread, I would think.

here are a few of mine.


The Clash- London Calling
The Stooges- Raw Power
Bane- Give Blood
Gorilla Biscuits- Start Today
Devo- New Traditionalists
The Pogues- If I Should Fall From Grace With God
Fishbone- Truth And Soul
Elvis Costello- My Aim is True
Elvis Costello- This Year's Model
Johnny Cash- at Folsom Prison

Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited
Hot Water Music- No Division
The World/Inferno Friendship Society- Just The Best Party

The Jam- Setting Sons
Talking Heads- 77
Fugazi- Repeater

that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure if I had to come up with a definitive list of like 10, I'd have a few that aren't even on there, but I am just momentarily forgetting.

So? I'm constantly getting into albums that came out years ago, and I'm just now hearing.

Tell me some bands you like now, and I'll tell you something old you should look into. Old music is not inherently better, BUT if somehting is still remembered and praised over 10 years after it came out, then that is a pretty strong indicator of quality. Yeah, I really dig the new Sleater-Kinney album, but I have no idea if ti will be in regular rotation in my listening habits 2 years from now.

I normally hyphenate (Neo-Folk) but yahr. OTWATM are probably actually my favourite neo-folk band, and certainly the best in Denmark, unless you extended your definition of neo-folk to cover Wuthering Heights.

Does the fact that Pitchfork wouldn't touch a single album in my list with a barge-pole mean I win the interweb? I think it does personally. I'm going to have a party to celebrate. I have Vodka and cookies!

I loved it from the first listen.  I don't even think it's that "difficult" at all, it's just really cool.  Brilliantly-written lyrics, fantastically unpredictable musicianship, and with a sense of humour I very much dig.

The only problem with these lists is that it's just a bunch of name-dropping.  I think it'd be much better to pick two or three of your favorite albums, and then explain why.  But for now I'll just list a few.

Radiohead - Kid A, Ok Computer, Hail to the Thief
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois, Seven Swans, Greetings from Michigan, A Sun Came
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
Brian Eno - Ambient One: Music for Airports
Brian Eno - Ambient Two: The Plateaux of Mirror
Brian Eno - Ambient Four: On Land
Pedro the Lion - Control
Pedro the Lion - Winners Never Quit
Elliott Smith - XO
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill
(pretty much anything Elliott Smith has written)

As for the whole Pitchfork thing, I stopped reading Pitchfork after reading their reviews of Pedro the Lion, and in the Bloc Party - Silent Alarm review, they flat out said something along the lines of "Well it doesn't actually matter what the music sounds like..," at which point I found them a little too ridiculous.  They also tend to be blatantly wrong about Hip Hop and electronic music.  I now only read them for their news and tour dates.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Masters of Reality - The Blue Garden (rereleased with one more song as a self-titled)
Masters of Reality - Sunrise on the Sufferbus (Ginger Baker from Cream?  Hello?)
Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss split CD (Sure, only 6 songs, but it's still a fucking masterpiece)
Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Colour Haze - Los Sounds des Krauts
Mark Lanegan - Whiskey for the Holy Ghost
Mark Lanegan - Field Songs
PJ Harvey - Is This Desire?
earthlings? - earthlings?
The Beatles - Rubber Soul (or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, or ... any other album, really)
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Hypnos 69 - Promise of a New Moon (again, or any other album)
Screaming Trees - Sweet Oblivion
Karma to Burn - Almost Heathen
Bob Marley - Legend
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Desert Sessions 1+2
Sleep - Dopesmoker (give these guys credit.  It's only one song but still an hour long.  It's the holy grail of stoner rock, or would be if Kyuss didn't exist)

Even with the rampant artist repeats, I feel like I cheated the hell out of Kyuss, QOTSA, Mark Lanegan, and Masters of Reality (their live albums are superb).  Mark Lanegan has FIVE albums I didn't even list, and every one is amazing.  I should also devote more listening time to PJ Harvey, so that I can rave about her other albums.

Khar, if you can't stand the way pitchfork snubs metal most of the time and then fellates alterna metal acts like mastadon, you should check out dusted.  They're an online indie rag that actually gives a nod to real metal on occasion.
