Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman
although Cat is a misogynistic asshole, his music is still fire.
Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
In my opinion, it’s one of the most solid albums ever, start-to-finish - the kind of album that’s great on tape.
100% awesome album.
you can’t even hear em!
this is one of the dozen or so albums that I’ll listen to front to back. I appreciate when an album is put together as a whole work and not just a bunch of songs smahmshed together
do I know for sure that album was made that way? no. but it feels like it.
Yellow by Baroness.
Well, technically its a double album: Yellow & Green. And I would say Green is a close second.
Something about it just blew my mind. Like, I had heard Baroness before, stuff from Red and Blue. They had a song or two on the early Guitar Hero games. I just thought “oh another okay metal band, whatever”. Yellow and Green were just… Different. The tone, the vocal style. The whole approach to writing ans playing guitars was different than what i was used to. Thr production has this kind of modern dirtiness, like the noise came from radiation or something. The lyrics are absolutely battling, as they were translated across multiple languages and the meaning was only clinging to them by a thread. The album art is incredible too. The bass is perfect, never too much or too little. The drums use disco and other dance beats along side this metal-ish music in a fantastic way.
It kind of felt it cane fron another dimension. A different timeline where English and western music evolved similarly to ours, but jjsy different enough to be uncanny.
Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle. I’ve listened so many times start to finish, absolutely in love with it.
ahhh thanks for the reminder this exists. it’s like an instant time warp for me to a different era
Came here to say this exact album.
Pornography by the Cure. So dismal
I listen to too much music to pick just one lol.
- Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
- AC/DC: The Razor’s Edge
- Ozzy Osbourne: Blizzard of Ozz
- Black Sabbath: Dehumanizer
- Metallica: Ride The Lightning (shoutout to And Justice for All, tho)
- Foo Fighters: The Colors and the Shapes
- DragonForce: Inhuman Rampage
- Motorhead: Rock N’ Roll
- Oasis: What’s the Story, Morning Glory?
- Styx: The Grand Illusion
- Jesse Welles: Patchwork
I should probably stop.
Hybrid Theory
My first thought as well.
What a hard question. But i always come back to Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Ditto. Ride the lightning was my, “and the rest was history” moment. Never even cared about music until then.
Angel Dust by Faith No More.
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.
oh fuuuuuuuuuuuck. been a long time since I was heavy into Floyd… was surprised to see people in this thread picking it over dark side, completely forgot shine on was off it… one of the greatest songs of all time easily
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
My dad would fall asleep to this album when I was growing up. It’s really special.
‘Falling asleep’.
I have seen people pass out while that album was playing.
No, he would literally queue the album up after he tucked me in to bed and then got ready to go to bed himself.
I’m sure many people have done drugs while listening to Pink Floyd, and my dad sure did in his youth, but he truly used that album as a sleep aid lol
That and the dark side of the moon. The two last songs (eclipse and brain damage) are ao frigging great.
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
Blink 182 -Take of your pants and jacket
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.
@YeahIgotskills2 @als I feel the same… discover nirvana way late arround 2010, I feel its simple and a masterpiece at same time
Jagged Little Pill
That’s an “80-percenter”! My personal benchmark for a great album is 80%+ of perfect songs.
Discovery - Daft Punk
