| Hi (favorite Albums)
I've been lurking here for over a year, I thought I should actually start writing stuff, getting into the rcommunity. | | 1 |  | R.E.M.
New Adventures in Hi-Fi
From the first song this album sounds like waking up after being asleep. Like casting
away all the stuff you've accumulated and hurling into a future far stranger than the one
you've expected. Many songs about movement, many songs about the desert. This has
been the soundtrack to every time I've left a place I was comfortable and unhappy.
Seriously, listen to E-Bow the Letter. | | 2 |  | Burzum
Det Som Engang Var
Mountains, New England, November. I can't see too many trees through the fog and
steady rain, and all I want is to go further in. | | 3 |  | R.E.M.
Murmur
This reminds me of a summer night in the woods, or else a rainy spring night, or maybe
a cool autumn one? Something young and fresh and utterly mysterious. | | 4 | | Mount Eerie
Wind's Poem
"The town rests in the valley between twin peaks, buried in space.
What goes on up there in the night, in that dark blurry place?
Driving to work in the morning, we live in graves,
Always trying to climb out of the hole, buried in space." | | 5 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
Kind of an honorable mention because I haven't actually listened to this album that
much. However, I think it's the essence of what Radiohead does. I'm simply not in a dark
enough place to desire this album, but I understand what it's going on about perfectly,
because I remember a few years ago (before I heard this album). The first time I heard
How to Disappear Completely, I was shocked. "I recognize this! I just didn't know
anyone would ever be able to put it into music!" Now I know that in my future darkest
hour, Kid A is waiting for me. | | 6 | | Music Progressive Quartet

Okay, probably doesn't deserve to be on this list - I've never been really obsessed with
this album, never thought it showed me the way to transcendence or anything like that.
However, it is probably my favorite purely instrumental album (well, it's got two tracks
with vocals, but those are definitely the worst, in my opinion at least). Plus it makes me
seem cool having an album no-one knows about. I've been listening to this steadily and
consistently for years, never having a particular period of obsession, and the songs still
get stuck in my head. | |

11.25.14 | Hi sputnik, this is my first list. I'm under the impression that it's standard for the list maker to write the first comment, getting the list onto the main page; if it's considered unscrupulous self-promotion, tell me. | Royl123

11.25.14 | Thanks, I feel like I got kind of wacky with these descriptions, but maybe that's why these are my "favorite albums" and not just
"albums i think are good". | JohnTheSavage
11.25.14 | Hi melonade, nice to meet you
If you listen to any rem try murmur, definitely their most original and otherworldly album.

11.25.14 | John if you dig black metal, If you haven't already heard nasheim "Solens vemod" may I HIGHLY recommend it, atmosphere is nuts | JohnTheSavage
11.25.14 | I'll look that up but I'm not quite in the mood for black metal these days. Been spending too much time in the city. I'll definitely put it on my list though. | YakNips
