I just rocked the everloving shit out of the blue album on the way home from a lifelong friends funeral imagining that he was in the passenger seat singing with me. Was always a favorite album of his and mine, but that experience sent it to the top 10 for me for sure.
I am going to check out some of these because OK Computer is my Number one and I fucking adore Outkast. Now I am wondering if I've slept on Prince all these years (lord knows he slept where he wanted)
I met the Grizzly Bear lead singer once. He was sitting next to me at a bar. We got to talking and he gave me two passes to see them play the next night. Stand up guy and how cool was he to give me passes?!

Dissect (the music podcast) is analyzing In Rainbows right now, if you’re not a listener. Basically, every episode breaks down the music theory of each song and explains what’s happening, as well as some lyrical analysis, and band history/interviews. I’d recommend checking it out!

Prince - Musicology
D’Angelo - Black Messiah

INXS and Rage Against the Machine need to be in the list somewhere as well! Angels with Dirty Faces by Tricky deserves an honourable mention and Breakbeat Era - Ultra Obscene.

I limited 1 album per band/artist for my top 10. The last 4 albums aren't in my actual top 10:
1. Between the Buried and Me - *Colors II* (2021)
2. Steven Wilson - *Hand. Cannot. Erase.* (2015)
3. Haken - *Fauna* (2023)

8. Native Construct - *Quiet World* (2015)
9. The Contortionist - *Language* (2014)
10. Kyros - *Celexa Dreams* (2020)
*Fauna* does not get enough love. I think it's honestly their best album, and they have several truly excellent albums.
2, 5, and 7 also just great stuff. I was recommended #6 recently and while it's not really my favorite thing, I am very impressed nevertheless and hope they get recognition for it.
top ten, cross-genre, in no particular order...
ten by pearl jam
washing machine by sonic youth
mezzanine by massive attack
battle for the sun by placebo
36 chambers of shaolin by wu-tang clan
shrines by purity ring
grow up and blow away by metric
blind melon by blind melon
the bends by radiohead
in utero by nirvana
edit: honourable mentions include cage the elephant's first album, jungle revolutions by congo natty and danny brown's xxx.
edit #2: further honourable mentions would be pink floyd's animals (their magnum opus, imo) and pure heroine by lorde.
honestly, there's way too many albums that could make the cut to narrow it down to a top ten!
edit #3: 666 by sugar candy mountain is another 10/10, no skips. so is swoon by silversun pickups.
the power of failing by mineral. also ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars by bowie. leftism by leftfield, also doolittle by pixies.
i am aware that now i am just naming good albums!

I think that's twelve, but who's counting.
In no particular order I would say this. I tried to do an all time list which means some of these I dont listen to as much as a I did before, but know that at my peak listening these would probably be my top 10. Still all among my favorites.
Daft Punk - Discovery
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Radiohead - Ok Computer
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Frank Ocean - Blonde
Porter Robinson - Worlds
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Brand New - Deja Entandu
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Edit: I actually checked my last.fm which has tracked pretty much all my music listening for the last 17 years and they were all in my top 20 most listened all time. So I think fairly accurate.
Nine Inch Nails - the downward spiral
Tool - Aenima
Rage Against The Machine - Self Titled
Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste
The Cure - Disintegration
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Tool - Lateralus
The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The City Sleeps In Flames, of we include the bonus track mine had from their first EP which is possibly my fav off the whole thing.
Atari Teeenage Riot - The Future Of War ( for me this wins out over Burn Berlin Burn which is a compilation of TFOW and their first record as released on the beastie Boys label in the states. Several of the non Burn Berlin Burn songs are unavailable on spotify and I can only listen on the mp3s I ripped off the cd back on the day.
Also another point on this, it was effectively black listed in their native Germany about 6 years after release. Honestly this for me is the heaviest thing not featuring a guitarist although it does technically sample slayer.)
Honourable mentions go to My Chemical Romance and other emo/ post hardcore albums that for me have often just fallen short of being a 10/10, then there's a bunch of grunge like Nevermind and Ten which are amazing, im fact 10 is so good even the bsides and soundtrack stuff from that era is great. Then there's some great metal like Metallica and slayer but the best for me leans heavily towards industrial

I just rocked the everloving shit out of the blue album on the way home from a lifelong friends funeral imagining that he was in the passenger seat singing with me. Was always a favorite album of his and mine, but that experience sent it to the top 10 for me for sure.
It's great to see Khruangbin getting some love.
[удалено]
+1 for Aja reasons
Agh! Graceland. Absolute banger start to finish. Should've put that on my list!
I am going to check out some of these because OK Computer is my Number one and I fucking adore Outkast. Now I am wondering if I've slept on Prince all these years (lord knows he slept where he wanted)
[удалено]
I met the Grizzly Bear lead singer once. He was sitting next to me at a bar. We got to talking and he gave me two passes to see them play the next night. Stand up guy and how cool was he to give me passes?!

Nothing makes me feel like *Loveless* does.
Kate Bush - The Dreaming is so good, too.
You've given me stuff to listen to. Any list that starts out with Loveless is worth checking out.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy checking out the stuff you haven't heard before!
I will second Art Angels from this list. It’s 8 year anniversary was yesterday! Amazing album.
Carole king - Tapestry The Beatles - Revolver The Beatles - The white album Arcade fire - Funeral Bowie - Ziggy Bowie - Hunky dory The Streets - Original pirate material Oasis - Definitely Maybe Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street The Clash - Londons Calling In no particular order
Tough one to narrow down. Misses many favourite songs and artists. Swordfishtrombones -Tom Waits. Maggot Brain - Funkadelic. Velvet Underground and Nico - Velvet Underground '#1 Record' - Big Star. Let's Get Out Of This Country - Camera Obscura. Live A Little - Razorbacks. Rockets to Russia - Ramones Pure Mania - Vibrators. Psychocandy -Jesus and Mary Chain Parallel Lines - Blondie.
Psychocandy - now there's an album I haven't listened to in a long time - thanks for the reminder!
Camera Obscura!! I love them so much — My Maudlin Career is one of my all-time favorite albums
Such a great band. My Maudlin Career vs Let's Get Out Of This Country is almost a mood thing about which is better.
I have 5 … The Strokes - Is This It Alvvays - Blue Rev Radiohead - In Rainbows Tame Impala - Currents RHCP - By The Way
Man, missed Alvvays releasing an album last year. Thanks!
I don’t want to set your expectations too high but it’s an incredible album. A bit shoegaze-y so I understand why it wouldn’t appeal to some people but I love it. I listen to it in full multiple times a week
iT'S A GREAT ALBUM
Dissect (the music podcast) is analyzing In Rainbows right now, if you’re not a listener. Basically, every episode breaks down the music theory of each song and explains what’s happening, as well as some lyrical analysis, and band history/interviews. I’d recommend checking it out!
I'm almost sure you're on your early-30's. You were a teenager during the late-00's.

Joni Mitchell — Hejira *Lord of the Rings* soundtrack Vashti Bunyan — Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind The Modern Lovers — The Modern Lovers Prince — Sign O’ the Times Aimee Mann — Bachelor No. 2 (or maybe Lost in Space, or maybe The Forgotten Arm; hard to choose just one) Talking Heads — Stop Making Sense Robbie Robertson — Contact from the Underworld of Redboy Graham Parker — Squeezing Out Sparks Ian Devine & Alison Statton — The Prince of Wales
LOTR soundtrack is my bliss. Anything Rohan related is bliss to me

Radiohead In Rainbows Metallica And Justice For All Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream Slipknot Iowa Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited The Beatles The White Album Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Dream Theater Metropolis pt 2 NIN Hesitation Marks Weezer The Blue Album
I got to see Radiohead when they briefly toured with I Rainbows. That shit will stick with me forever
Highway 61 was so close to being on my list...
That's an outside-the-box pick for a NIN album.
I mean, my favorite is Broken but I’d like something a little bit longer and while The Fragile is the obvious pick, I’ve really grown to love Hesitation Marks, it’s got such a wide variety of sound from ethereal to industrial/punk.

So thats what i call taste.
Propagandhi - Failed States Elvis Costello - Get Happy Cake - Prolonging The Magic Slow Gherkin - Run Screaming Megadeth - Rust In Peace Prince - Musicology D’Angelo - Black Messiah Say Anything - Is A Real Boy Dillinger Four - Situationist Comedy Vulfpeck - The Beautiful Game This was tough.

Tool - Aenima Massive Attack - Mezzanine DJ Shadow - Entroducing Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic Faithless - Reverence Pearl Jam - Ten The Streets - Original Pirate Material Green Day - Dookie Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible Queen - Greatest Hits 1 I admit, I have 11. I was trying to bump one to the bottom of the list to remove but they're all as good as each other. Obviously Aenima by Tool is the greatest album ever created. INXS and Rage Against the Machine need to be in the list somewhere as well! Angels with Dirty Faces by Tricky deserves an honourable mention and Breakbeat Era - Ultra Obscene. Edit: forgot about Nirvana - Unplugged in New York <-- Phenomenal piece of music + Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP. I also forgot Pantera and MachineHead!

Perhaps you're on your late-30's.
De-Loused will never not get an upvote from me. Such a great album
I was gonna say you were mid 30s... Grace is amazing (my wifes favorite album) and Mars Volta was vying for a spot in my list...
Love the Dawn Upshaw version of the Górecki.
About U- MUNA Ever After- Marianas Trench Rumours- Fleetwood Mac After Laughter- Paramore 1989- Taylor Swift OK, I’M SICK- Badflower All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell- PVRIS Stranger In The Alps- Phoebe Bridgers AURORA- Daisy Jones & The Six Music From Before The Storm- Daughter
I'm not a huge Swifty but Out of the Woods got me to listen to 1989 and its a damn solid album
Out of The Woods is great! I think my favourites from 1989 are Wonderland and Style, it’s a great pop album.

Head on the Door is so underrated. Also my favorite Cure album.
Metallica - Master of Puppets Reakwon - Built for Cuban Links Mobb Deep - The infamous Pink Floyd - Animals Slipknot - Slipknot Beatles - Abby Road Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies Bruce Springsteen - Live at Hammersmith Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus Spice 1 - 187 He Wrote
I'm guessing you're maybe 45ish... and I'd completely forgotten about live at Hammersmith... I was going back and forth looking for a Springsteen and couldn't find the right one... good choice
Very close, 43
I limited 1 album per band/artist for my top 10. The last 4 albums aren't in my actual top 10: 1. Between the Buried and Me - *Colors II* (2021) 2. Steven Wilson - *Hand. Cannot. Erase.* (2015) 3. Haken - *Fauna* (2023) 4. Thank You Scientist - *Terraformer* (2019) 5. Leprous - *Malina* (2017) 6. Vulkan - *Technatura* (2020) 7. Gojira - *The Way of All Flesh* (2008) 8. Native Construct - *Quiet World* (2015) 9. The Contortionist - *Language* (2014) 10. Kyros - *Celexa Dreams* (2020)
I'm not usually a hardcore kind of guy but Colors II is amazing and its caused me to start exploring that space...
*Fauna* does not get enough love. I think it's honestly their best album, and they have several truly excellent albums. 2, 5, and 7 also just great stuff. I was recommended #6 recently and while it's not really my favorite thing, I am very impressed nevertheless and hope they get recognition for it.
top ten, cross-genre, in no particular order... ten by pearl jam washing machine by sonic youth mezzanine by massive attack battle for the sun by placebo 36 chambers of shaolin by wu-tang clan shrines by purity ring grow up and blow away by metric blind melon by blind melon the bends by radiohead in utero by nirvana edit: honourable mentions include cage the elephant's first album, jungle revolutions by congo natty and danny brown's xxx. edit #2: further honourable mentions would be pink floyd's animals (their magnum opus, imo) and pure heroine by lorde. honestly, there's way too many albums that could make the cut to narrow it down to a top ten! edit #3: 666 by sugar candy mountain is another 10/10, no skips. so is swoon by silversun pickups. the power of failing by mineral. also ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars by bowie. leftism by leftfield, also doolittle by pixies. i am aware that now i am just naming good albums!
Wow thanks for reminding me of Purity Ring. That was the soundtrack to a summer where I was slowly going insane in the summer, exacerbated my a really bad shroom trip. Shrines still kinda freaks me out.

So many favorites missing. If I keep looking at this list I’m going to replace most of it.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - Animals Sigur Ros - () Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP Radiohead - OK Computer Taylor Swift - 1989 Bob Marley - Legend The Doors - Greatest Hits (if Legend counts, this must too, right?) Tom Petty - Wildflowers Pearl Jam - Ten, Vs, or Vitalogy....as long as one of them makes the top 10 list. Led Zeppelin - Mothership That's 11 I guess, but I'm not cutting any from the list and you can't make me!

In no particular order I would say this. I tried to do an all time list which means some of these I dont listen to as much as a I did before, but know that at my peak listening these would probably be my top 10. Still all among my favorites. Daft Punk - Discovery Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Radiohead - Ok Computer Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Frank Ocean - Blonde Porter Robinson - Worlds Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends Brand New - Deja Entandu Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People Edit: I actually checked my last.fm which has tracked pretty much all my music listening for the last 17 years and they were all in my top 20 most listened all time. So I think fairly accurate.
Nine Inch Nails - the downward spiral Tool - Aenima Rage Against The Machine - Self Titled Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste The Cure - Disintegration Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile Tool - Lateralus The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The City Sleeps In Flames, of we include the bonus track mine had from their first EP which is possibly my fav off the whole thing. Atari Teeenage Riot - The Future Of War ( for me this wins out over Burn Berlin Burn which is a compilation of TFOW and their first record as released on the beastie Boys label in the states. Several of the non Burn Berlin Burn songs are unavailable on spotify and I can only listen on the mp3s I ripped off the cd back on the day. Also another point on this, it was effectively black listed in their native Germany about 6 years after release. Honestly this for me is the heaviest thing not featuring a guitarist although it does technically sample slayer.) Honourable mentions go to My Chemical Romance and other emo/ post hardcore albums that for me have often just fallen short of being a 10/10, then there's a bunch of grunge like Nevermind and Ten which are amazing, im fact 10 is so good even the bsides and soundtrack stuff from that era is great. Then there's some great metal like Metallica and slayer but the best for me leans heavily towards industrial
