Emotional Albums

Albums that have emotional associations for me

Raw Power


First punk album

3Arctic Monkeys
Whatever People Say I Am...


Last great Dandry album; sister too
4The Beatles
Abbey Road


The first album I ever knew, first favorite song (Maxwell's Silver Hammer)
5The Clash
London Calling


Listened to since I was a kid, took me forever to listen to it in its entirety, I have a
poster of it in my room.
6Stevie Wonder
Innervisions


Intensely emotional every time I revisit it. My dad played this for me when I was a
kid; "Visions" and "Living for the City" kill me
7 Simon & Garfunkel
Greatest Hits


I still know every song by heart thanks to my mother
8 The Beatles
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band


Music taste starts here
9Cocteau Twins
Heaven Or Las Vegas


Makes me think of my best friend. My sister and a few other friends now love this
album too. If I knew I was never going to see anyone again this is what I'd listen to
because it makes me remember that the world can be a beautiful place

Let It Be


Isolation/depression in college made bearable...
17The Strokes
Is This It


In Which Younger Me Decides Modern Music Can Be Good; makes me discover
postpunk and the Velvet Underground

Electric Warrior


A definitive document of being a teenager
19 Yann Tiersen
Amelie

the time

24The Olivia Tremor Control

Made me realize the badassity of clean guitars; title track might be one of the best
pop songs ever in terms of immediacy, lyrics, emotions, catchiness... just everything
really
