Title: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: doki on 05 Feb 2007, 20:07: so yeah, i feel like an idiot. i feel like an idiot because i just TODAY bought Jeff Buckley's Grace and i thought, if we worked together, we could form a list of albums that everyone should own at some point in their lives. here's my contribution

Grace, Jeff Buckley
The Clash, London Calling
Nirvana, Nevermind

ok, thats as cliche as its allowed to be. you dont have to like the album you list either

Post by: Storm Rider on 05 Feb 2007, 23:00: Yeah, this thread is dumb! I don't think that there are any albums people should be forced to own!
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: SeanBateman on 05 Feb 2007, 23:24: You guys are being dicks. There are certain albums all people should at least listen to, and there are definitely albums that I will look down on a person if they don't own.

Like, seriously, people who don't at least have Rubber Soul on your computer. What the fuck are you trying to pull.

There really are many more like this!

This is a good thread!
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Storm Rider on 05 Feb 2007, 23:43: I disagree! I think people should be allowed to form their own opinions on music.

That might just be because Rubber Soul is the only album of any of the ones mentioned so far I own, and I don't really feel compelled to check out any of the others.

I also think that on this list should be things like Baby, one more time and The Rite of Spring. not albums that people liked, but important records. records that changed things. records you can show to your kids to explain why music is so great

i'm sorry if if i've offended anyone

The world would be a better place if everyone listened to this album at least thrice a year.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Valrus on 06 Feb 2007, 10:36: I don't know if I'd say everyone should own any albums, but maybe it would be fair to say that there are albums such that people could benefit from listening to them enough to form a somewhat informed opinion about them, even if it's that they hate them. I recently picked up My Bloody Valentine's Loveless because from what I have read, it is just such an album. I was kind of hoping someone would mention it and validate me. ;)

I would suggest Kid A, even though I think a lot of its significance comes from the context of Radiohead's previous albums. I'd second In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, too, though On Avery Island seems less essential to my ears. There must be at least a couple Beatles albums, though I wouldn't count among them anything from before Rubber Soul. Also I want to stick my neck out for The Cure's Disintegration.

Unless you're talking about the emo band?
Or something that I'm unaware of?
I think that L'Sacre du Printemps (Rites of Spring) should definitely be on this list, because not only is it enjoyable, but is also the great great grandaddy of Math Rock.
No joke.

Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: ScrambledGregs on 06 Feb 2007, 18:01: I hate the idea of 'important' or 'essential' albums. It suggests that everyone should buy something just so they have something to say about it, even if that something is "this is fucking terrible and I'm sorry I spent 14 bucks on it."

I have a coffee table-ish book called 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and as you can imagine there are a hell of a lot that I don't agree with. Particularly when they list 'important' albums that aren't any good or even remotely the best works of said band. I mean, they have Beck's Guero. A good album, but do I think anyone needs to hear it before they die?? No.

Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Tyler on 07 Feb 2007, 15:43: This thread was for the good and also rather cliche albums so far as I can tell. Kind of Blue is by far his most well known album in that regard, and is generally also considered his magnum opus.

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA

I'd say that this is one of Springsteen's worst albums, actually. Somehow it's his most popular, but everything he made before it, Tunnel Of Love, and his '00s albums are much better. I cannot stress this enough. Still a good album though.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: ScrambledGregs on 07 Feb 2007, 18:23: I've yet to hear a Bruce Springsteen song that didn't make me think "he's not as terrible as I assumed." I've given him plenty of chances, but...
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own

Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Ben yayayayayayayay on 07 Feb 2007, 20:06: Referring to the original post: I too have only recently bought Jeff Buckley's Grace, and upon hearing it my first thoughts were "why the fuck haven't I already heard this?". So maybe doki's intent was to have us talk about albums that we each find crucial to our own lives and try to preach to others from time to time. I have, on occasion, tried to turn my friends onto Neutral Milk Hotel, because I just can't understand why people don't like them. It's fucking Jeff Mangum c'mon

How funny! Every steak I eat reminds me of McDonald's! What a bizarre coincidence.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: KharBevNor on 07 Feb 2007, 21:32: If you're implying Meatloaf is steak and Springsteen McDonalds, well, that I can see. I just watched some more vids on youtube. Bland hair, bland dancing, tacky synths (or limp piano depending on the period) At least Meatloaf sang about motorbikes.

Quote from: Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run
n the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Johnny C on 07 Feb 2007, 22:04: Well-picked.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: KharBevNor on 07 Feb 2007, 22:17: Meatloaf is still cooler.

That's wanky lyrics about motorbikes. It's not all "I'M GONNA HIT THE HIGHWAY LIKE A BATTERING RAM!"

I just watched all these Meatloaf vids on youtube. I definitely have my side in this debate. Springsteen sounds pretty bland to be honest. Just...kinda boring. A standard rocker voice, with awful synths and a distinct lack of good hooks and riffs. None of the songs I've just listened to have stuck in my mind. So MOR. You're not even gonna pull the 'he writes his own songs' line on me here. Meatloaf > Springsteen. If I'm gonna have awfully commercial classic rock I want it well written and fun and sung well.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Johnny C on 07 Feb 2007, 22:47: Dogg "Born To Run" is a song about the idea of escape from the standard working-class American town, from the normal teenager life, laden with metaphor and rich imagery and surrounded in a veil of love for both the girl at the centre of the song and the populace of these dead-end American towns. It's an ode to dreams which have failed and dreams which have yet to be fulfilled against a modern cultural backdrop, awash with the poetry of the everyday.

Do not make me compare this to "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)."

Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Scytale on 09 Feb 2007, 03:26: I Agree with you with a lot of band but I'll disagree on albums...

IMO "Turn loose the Swans" is the best MDB album and it comes out before Angel and the Dark River

Too be honest I haven't liked anything Anathema has done since "A Fine Day to Exit"

The Somberlain is the best Dissection album, John Zwetsloot was what made dissection so good, Light's bane is ok but it's really missing the classical touches Somberlain had. I dunno I jus think the atmosphere is missing on Light's bane.

The unfortunate truth is that in the years between now and your old age you may in fact strongly reconsider these words. This is never a good attitude to take about any artist or band.
Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Thrillho on 10 Feb 2007, 14:08: On principle, I hate Springsteen. But I have The Ghost Of Tom Joad. It's a fantastic record. It's stark, stripped-back, naked. It's a fascinating album, quite heart-stopping. And I got it for ?3 (about $6), and for that money it's worth it just for the title track, 'Youngstown' and 'Dry Lightning.'

Title: Re: The Albums everyone should own
Post by: Joseph on 10 Feb 2007, 16:57: If you don't like the production on his more rock oriented albums, do at least give Springsteen's folkier stuff, such as Nebraska, Ghost Of Tom Joad, or Devils & Dust. Oh, and The Seeger Sessions, though that's a completely different experience than any of his other albums.

David Bowie - Space Oddity (or pretty much any of his early stuff)
Joe West - The Human Canonball
Steve Burns - Songs for Dustmites
Elvis Costello - All This Useless Beauty

Just to name a few.

Posting pictures of albums with no band name and no album name on the cover is a really good way to get people to hear them.

Yes indeed.

Post by: Joseph on 04 Mar 2007, 12:18: Personally, I don't believe there is a single album that everyone should own. I think that there are certain albums that everyone should hear, for reasons of cultural significance or because of the music's quality or in order to expose everyone to various forms of music. However, everyone will always end up with their own individual tastes, and so long as they have given many forms of music a valid chance, and listened with an open mind, I cannot blame them if they decide "Nope, this albums isn't for me."
