--- End quote ---
Great picks, but I would have chosen Daydream Nation for Sonic Youth, just because of it's vast importance to music, especially rock. Everything else is great, and I'm happy to see the Dismemberment Plan mentioned. :D
KharBevNor:
Meh, I will be disregarded, but I have come to the strong conclusion that everyone should listen to at least one Current 93 album. I'd suggest Cats Drunk on Copper, as that both contains almost all their classics (it's love) and has been mollified by David Tibets conversion to christianity. (It's still full of all sorts of bizarre hermetic and gnostic whits-whots, but they've cut back the buddhist and pagan stuff, unfortunately robbing the set of 'A Song For Douglas' and 'Hitler as Kalki', but at least they kept a mollified version of 'Happy Birthday Pigface Christus' (as 'Happy Birthday'). Indeed, if she's serious in her religion, she'll probably find the whole thing quite interesting.
Merkava:
How would you describe their sound, Khar? So far the subject matter sounds cool.
KharBevNor:
By the time of Cats Drunk on Copper C93 were neo-folk/post-industrial: Acoustic and clean electric guitars, light vocal effects, recorders and sleighbells, semi-spoken word main vocalist with female harmonies, dashes of nursery-rhyme singing and industrial tape-loops. Great, though very melancholy.
Tago Mago:
If she knows nothing musically then this is an opportunity for hilarity! You can fill her head with lies, replace the CD for Slanted and Enchanted with Tangerine Dream's Zeit, Bee Thousand with Ikue Mori's Hex Kitchen, Sebadoh with Throbbing Gristle.... It'll be funny!
