Pixies - Trompe Le Monde
Everyone I’ve talked to seems to gravitate to Doolittle or Come On Pilgrim as a favorite Pixies record, or the album that defines their vibe. But for me this album was my entry point not just for them, but to a bigger musical world and I’m forever grateful for that.
Such a great album!
True Defiance by Demon Hunter, it have so many songs I can hear on repeat.
Boys For Pele - Tori Amos
She does so much with the orchestration that I’m still finding new elements
Raw Data Feel by Everything Everything! I drove from Seattle to San Diego one time and I listened to that album at least 10 times on the drive. So good.
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
Moron Police - Pachinko
“Blues & Roots” by Charles Mingus
My favourite changes constantly, but right now it’s Masks Off by Jesse Welles. I’ve said it several times here before but Lemmy would really like his lyrics and more folks here need to check him out.
He’s incredible. He just played a show at the hot dog place near me and I missed it!
I saw him back in March, he was amazing live. I’ll absolutely be seeing him again.
Brooklyn Funk Essentials - Cool & Steady & Easy - is high on my list at the moment.
Sol - Seeming
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
I got this for dissolved girl (knock knock, neo) and the rest of it sounds different. It’s a good different. I was disappointed at first, but - unlike another hit/album mismatch finger eleven - I grew to really like the rest of it as a completely separate entity from the catalyst track that made me get it.
Oof that’s a hard one. One of the below:
Jimmy Eat World ‘Clarity’ Mineral ‘The Power Of Failing’ Neutral Milk Hotel ‘In The Aeroplane Over The Sea’ The Decemberists ‘Picaresque’
Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.
In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.
I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.
I definitely like seeing Picaresque up here, fantastic album.
Hey if you like that, well I can’t really explain why this album is similar, but try “England Keep my Bones” by Frank Turner.
Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park) is objectively the greatest album of all time in my subjective opinion
My Head is an Animal (Of Monsters And Men) is probably my personal favorite though
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
Of course this changes over time but right now it’s probably a toss up between Marquee Moon by Television and 154 by Wire.
