Sturgis' Top 50 Albums/EPs
This would've been a top 100, but Sputnik lists are quite simple and tacky. |
| 50 |  | FKA Twigs
EP2
Was the first record (along with LP1) that I've ever owned. Twigs inspired me to become a bad bitch. |
| 49 |  | The Olivia Tremor Control
Dusk at Cubist Castle
Nice 60's throwback with some cool experimentation. Kevin Parker really knew what he was doing. |
| 48 |  | Refused
The Shape of Punk to Come
I was a former scene kid, so this was way up my alley. |
| 47 |  | Gang Gang Dance
Eye Contact
I'm a sucker for those synths. |
| 46 |  | Julee Cruise
Floating into the Night
This inspired me to watch Twin Peaks for the first time, actually. |
| 45 |  | Low
The Curtain Hits the Cast
Lullabies for the annoying avant-teen. |
| 44 |  | Lil Ugly Mane
Third Side of Tape
The perfect mixtape (in theory). |
| 43 |  | Sweet Trip
Velocity : Design : Comfort
Talking about Sweet Trip is like beating a dead horse. |
| 42 |  | Douji Morita
A Boy
:-( |
| 41 |  | Cocteau Twins
Blue Bell Knoll
They say "Heaven or Las Vegas" or "Treasure" is their best album, but, deep down, they know that Blue Bell Knoll as their best album (I'll also accept Head Over Heels). |
| 40 |  | J Dilla
Donuts
How to get more scrobbles on last.fm. |
| 39 |  | Throbbing Gristle
The Second Annual Report
"Slug... Slug... Bait"
"Can't... Can't... Wait" |
| 38 |  | The Wedding Present
Bizarro
The fact that y'all don't know this album is pretty bizarro.
Thank you for coming to my standup. |
| 37 |  | Bowery Electric
Lushlife
If you can't bop to "Freedom Fighter", we cannot be friends. |
| 36 |  | Gas
Pop
My dad once asked if my record was stuck in one spot. |
| 35 |  | The Feelies
Crazy Rhythms
*overused Weezer comparison* Updoots to the left! |
| 34 |  | Animal Collective
Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished
When you want to go deaf. |
| 33 |  | Cornelius
Point
Is Cornelius even human? |
| 32 |  | Mobb Deep
The Infamous
The Second Most Gangsta Record Ever |
| 31 |  | The Microphones
Mount Eerie
The Most Gangsta Record Ever |
| 30 |  | Portishead
Third
They were better when they weren't making trip-hop. |
| 29 |  | Nico
Desertshore
"Le Petit Chevalier" is truly terrifying. |
| 28 |  | This Heat
Deceit
This is high on my list, because the album title and the band name rhymed with each other. |
| 27 |  | Edan
Beauty and the Beat
That moment when you realize that there's two MC's on "Funky Voltron". |
| 26 |  | Arthur Russell
World of Echo
I wish I could be Arthur Russel (minus the whole dying early part). |
| 25 |  | Shabazz Palaces
Black Up
Memories of choosing to listen to Black Up in the car after the closing shift at Kroger's. |
| 24 |  | Another Sunny Day
London Weekend
14 ratings on here. Wow. |

Maxinquaye
This was released in 1995? |

"Travelogue" is a natural wonder of the universe. |

I wanna turn into a mule too. |

Pink album covers are always the best. |

We go deep and we don't get no sleep cause we be up all night until the early light. |

They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days...
