| 10 of My Favorite Albums
I don’t know if this is top 10 all time, but I figured I might put 10 out there that are really really close. Not ranked. If you don’t like it please lmk why. Or don’t. Idc. | | 1 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
Maybe my most played album of all time. I’ve been listening to this since middle school. The songs are all perfect, on their own, or as part of the album experience. This album just rocks so damn hard, and I will never get tired of the radio interludes. | | 2 |  | Playboi Carti
Die Lit
Lyrics are basically a non-factor with this album (although I have grown to love a lot of the more memorable lines). The production and energy on this album is just off the wall though. I don’t know how, but I think Pierre and Carti mastered the art of catchiness. I’d say most of Sputnik probably hates this shit, but I love it to death. I look at it less like ‘rap’ and more like vaporwave-punk... or cloud punk... or some shit like that. Just not rap. | | 3 |  | Talk Talk
Laughing Stock
Spirit of Eden is a close second. Laughing Stock’s songs just move and evolve in a way I can’t really describe. Beautiful stuff. The opening of New Grass is one of the most gorgeous recordings in music history. | | 4 |  | At the Drive-In
Relationship of Command
To me, the best post-hardcore album ever made. And I love post-hardcore. The first time I heard Arcarsenal my jaw literally dropped. Also Cosmonaut is the most underrated song on here. | | 5 |  | Tool
Ænima
I definitely prefer this to Lateralus. Ænima is heavier, darker, and noisier. Maynard’s vocals are probably his best ever. I think Ænima is also their funniest album, and also has their most straight-to-the-point lyrics. Also Third Eye. Can’t forget about Third Eye. | | 6 |  | Radiohead
OK Computer
Radiohead are probably my favorite band ever, so like 4 of their albums shuffle around my top ten. I’ll give it to OKC because it has the most thematic consistency, and was the album where the band established themselves as legends. They could’ve called it quits here and still been one of the greatest bands ever. | | 7 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Oh my god I love Lou Reed. This album blew my mind so hard when I heard it. I’d say it’s influenced half of the music I listen to today, so going back to origin of it all was crazy. | | 8 |  | Kendrick Lamar
good kid, m.A.A.d city
You can keep your illmatic and keep your 36 Chambers. To me, this is the greatest rap album ever made. Diverse yet totally cohesive, beautiful in its performances, themes, and production. A near perfect album. | | 9 |  | Converge
Jane Doe
Typical pick for a sputniker, I know. But I think most of us can agree: this is the heaviest, loudest, most aggressive music ever put to tape. I also love mathcore so the slight mathy vibe of this album just adds so much. | | 10 |  | Travis Scott
Rodeo
The best trap album of all time. I see this as the MBDTF of Southern hip hop. Just wrote a review: go give it a look! | |

03.20.20 | Love 2, 3, 4, 8 & 9. Good list and good taste! | dedex
03.20.20 | Cool. I like what you wrote about Playboi Carti being cloud vaporwave punk, I feel a lot of the new generation rappers are basically punk/rockers who use 808s | rellik009
03.20.20 | my man you haven't explored music much but this is definitely a good list | AsleepInTheBack
03.20.20 | great list. welcome back to sput. I really struggle with 4 and 5, they both grate at me for some unknown reason. | UglyFace
03.20.20 | dedex definitely. Digging through the swathes of music on Soundcloud you find so much truly interesting stuff (Yung Lean, early Trippie Redd, ThouXanBanFauni, zillakami)
rellik009 I mean these are pretty popular albums but they’re popular for a reason. I always find myself coming back to them/they had a powerful influence on me when I was younger.

03.20.20 | have you ever heard n.o.d. | UglyFace
03.20.20 | AsleepInTheBack oh that’s too bad. With both of those I had a positive reaction the second I heard them. They were both mind blowing to me. | Sinternet
03.20.20 | 5 is one of the worst bands in history but everything else is solid if basic 'white kid who calls himself alternative' picks | rellik009
03.20.20 | "I mean these are pretty popular albums but they’re popular for a reason. I always find myself coming back to them/they had a powerful influence on me when I was younger."
I mean I disagree in some ways but that's totally fair enough. Sometimes I seem to forget a couple of these albums got me into music more seriously. | UglyFace
03.21.20 | Sinternet meanwhile u rated Converge, Radiohead, The Velvet Underground, and Kendrick 5s. Pot calling the kettle black.
And Ænima fucking rules ur trippin. | UglyFace
03.21.20 | parksungjoon no I haven’t. I’ll check it out. | aydross121
03.21.20 | Having Playboi Carti followed by Laughing Stock is the biggest twist of this decade so far. |
