Needs Bowie but otherwise perfect…
Damn forgot Bowie. I like the mid-late 70’s.
Mostly replying as a personal challenge; I doubt anyone cares about my opinion. I think this is a hard but interesting challenge and I could probably spend a lifetime perfecting it, but this is my unadulterated first pass:
- “Stardust” - Willie Nelson
- “Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness” - Smashing Pumpkins
- “Blue Lines” - Massive Attack
- “Kind of Blue” - Miles Davis
- “Wildflowers” - Tom Petty
- “Blind Melon” - Blind Melon
- “Loaded” - The Velvet Underground
- “At War with the Mystics” - The Flaming Lips
- “Dire Straits” - Dire Straits
- “Pretty Hate Machine” - Nine Inch Nails
Fuck. How do you make a list like this without regretting every decision you made?!
311 - Grassroots
Tool - Undertow
Meshuggah - Obzen
Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly
Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth
Animals as Leaders - The Joy of Motion
Dr. Dre - 2001
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Paul Oakenfold - Transport
First Fragment - Gloire Eternelle
Bazooka Tooth over all of aes’ other work?
Controversial I know. There was a point where I listened to that album everyday at work for months. Could be swapped for Hail Mary Mallon - The Bestiary
I anticipate a metric ton of “best of” albums, but I’ll give it try avoiding that. In no particular order:
- Billy Joel - the Stranger
- Genisis - Genisis
- Beach Boys - Pet sounds
- the Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
- Muse - Resistance
- Rush - Permananent Waves
- Radiohead - OK Computer
- Boston - Boston
- Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
- Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)
Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)
Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although “What’s New” was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.
Oh and updating my own list because I listened to it this weekend - Songs in the key of life, Stevie Wonder
- Mark Lanegan - Whiskey for the Holy Ghost
- Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
- Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere
- Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds
- Nick Drake - Pink Moon

- Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

Gemini Syndrome - Memento Mori

Queen - Greatest Hits
Queen - Greatest Hits II
Aerosmith - Greatest Hits
Simon & Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
NWA - Greatest Hits
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
