Shit Yo.
The basics of what I've been doing for a few weeks. |
| 1 |  | Elliott Smith
XO
Phenomenal. I had this forever ago when I used to download (as well as all his other stuff) and now that
I
had some money I decided it was time to pick up this masterpiece. |
| 2 |  | Pixies
Doolittle
It came down to this and Surfer Rosa - but this just won. I've had it longer and I absolutely NEED to
catch
the tour where they will play all of this in a few months! |
| 3 |  | Brand New
The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Had this the day it came out and it had disappeared from my collection when I went looking for it - so I
rebought it. Will soon have to do the same with Deja Entendu which I had received as a gift on the day
it
came out when I graduated 8th grade, haha. God only knows where they ended up. |
| 4 |  | Wilco
Being There
Had everything from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on and decided to add to their impressive catalog. Side
note:
how damn good is their new album!? |
| 5 |  | The Beatles
The Beatles
This was on my last list and could be on every list I ever make. I caught McCartney at Fenway Park a
few
weeks ago now and it was life-changing to see such a man live. Truly an incredible show! This is one
of
my favorite Beatles albums as well so it doesn't hurt to include it. |
| 6 |  | Tom Waits
Orphans
I bought this and Rain Dogs at the same time and although Rain Dogs is a classic - this album was just
plain fun to dive into. I always end up doing the same thing with new music and buying almost all of a
bands catalog and just start listening in. Bawlers has got to be my favorite here although they're all
impressive! |
| 7 |  | Bruce Springsteen
Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Going to catch my second Boss show this year and could not be more excited! I decided to put this one
here rather than the classic Born To Run simply because it is also a superb album. There's no
"Jungleland"
here but quite honestly there will probably never be another one. |
| 8 |  | Miles Davis
Sketches Of Spain
Awesome album. I have a sickening amount of Miles Davis albums and I don't plan on stopping until I
have them all, haha. You just can not go wrong. |
| 9 |  | Mogwai
Young Team
Sweet. |
| 10 |  | The Kinks
The Village Green Preservation Society
Say what you will but I truly think the Kinks are sorely overlooked. I find Arthur to be a stronger album
but this is certainly worth the cash as well. Any other Kinks fans out there? |
| 11 |  | Nas
Illmatic
To be honest - I usually just don't like rap or hip-hop (at least current day). This however is also a
masterpiece. While I can't relate to what Nas is speaking about on this album necessarily he makes up
for
it by truly convincing me of his storytelling as many of the great writers do. |
| 12 |  | Queen
A Night At The Opera
It had been a while since I'd listened to this so I decided to make this classic a must listen. |
| 13 |  | Bob Dylan
Love And Theft
I just picked this up a few nights ago and have honestly not listened. While I do not expect this to be
on
par with his earlier work I very much enjoy Together Through Life and Modern Times so I still expect
good
things. |
| 14 |  | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing
It took me FOREVER to finally getting around to buying this and boy oh boy was that stupid. Album is
awesome! |
| 15 |  | Thrice
Vheissu
I have been listening to Thrice since prior to the release of Illusion Of Safety and have had periods
where I
maybe "grew out" of them so to speak but never missed purchasing an album the day it came out
through
that time. I am eagerly awaiting the physical release of Beggars just as I had all the others and am
excited as all hell. Glad to see these guys still with a superb fan base after all the evolution their music
has
gone through. True musicians who deserve all the support in the world! |
