Arcade Fire's The Suburbs is a fantastic album that for me personally came out at exactly the right moment.



For years I had a burnt cd with all of Doolittle and Surfer Rosa, I can't really separate the 2


I am really digging this year's Random Access Memories, but Daft Punk's Discovery is remains their best I'd say. Its kind of hard to imagine much of the internet without it.


Toss Up between this and Make Yourself

 

Coldplay's A Rush Of Blood To The Head



Their opening song on the album Politik is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. The song was written on 9-11-01

 

Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner
Separation Sunday - The Hold Steady
On The Impossible Past - The Menzingers
Give 'Em Enough Rope - The Clash
Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan
The '59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem

 

*Treeforts--"Dick Jokes"

*Jawbreaker--"Etc."

I mean, they were just so good!

There was a sun once.
It lit the whole d*mn sky.
It kept everything,
Everything,
Alive...
--from the song "Shield Your Eyes."

*Misfits--"Walk Among Us"

*OFF--"First Four Eps"

I'll think of more later...

 

The Beatles:
The White Album
Magical Mystery Tour
Sgt. Pepper
A Hard Day's Night
Revolver
Let It Be

Robert Shaw Chorale:
The Many Moods of Christmas
Songs of Angels
Handel's Messiah
Angels on High

Complete Mozart by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

Bruce Springsteen:
Nebraska
Tunnel of Love

Skins Soundtracks Series 1-6

 

In that order.

 

Electric Ladyland - Hendrix

Easy choice for me. It would be followed by his Are You Experienced album and The Beatles Rubber Soul/Revolver.

 

Toxicity by SOAD
Follow the Leader by Korn
Lateralus by Tool
Vulgar by Dir En Grey

 

I'm sort of glad I didnt discover Joy Division until after my teens, because I think it would have just ruined the album for me. Now, it is one of the best musical works of art I've heard. Ok Computer is brilliant too. Still gonna have to stick with Nirvana's Nevermind..just because of my teen years...

 

I can't just pick one album though, some of my favorites are:

Free - Heartbreaker

CunninLynguists - A piece of strange
