Your favorite albums
Okay, screw the MB favorite albums thread.
Because, it doesn't matter whether five people out of twenty like a specific album or not. What really matters is whether you like an album. So, here goes. Instead of voting on some arbitrary album Trollheart or somebody else comes up with, simply list the albums you like best. We can always comment on whether we like the album(s) or not, like we would always do at a music forum, but the bottom line is, those are the albums that pop your cherry, so to speak, and if someone else has a problem with that, well, strawberries to them. Anyway, list as many albums as you want, or as few as you want, as we try to appreciate each others' tastes. For me, I'm omitting a few Beatles albums as maybe we should honor a one album per artist rule, but otherwise, here is my top ten... 1) Beatles- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 2) Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited 3) David Bowie- Hunky Dory 4) REM- Murmur 5) Beach Boys- Pet Sounds 6) The Kinks- Something Else 7) Rolling Stones- Let It Bleed 8) Velvet Underground- Velvet Underground and Nico 9) Radiohead- OK Computer 10) Stevie Wonder- Innervisions Okay, your turn :D |

If it’s „one album per artist”, then in no particular order:
0. Don Cherry - Home Boy, Sister Out 1. The Beatles - Abbey Road 2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds 3. The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet 4. Steely Dan - Katy Lied 5. Frank Zappa - Apostrophe 6. Breakout - Na Drugim Brzegu Tęczy 7. Captain Beefheart - Strictly Personal 8. Paul McCartney - RAM ****, I must include another one by Paul 9. Band On The Run 10. Parliament - Motor Booty Affair and, umh, another one by Parliament 11. Clones of Dr Funkenstein 12. The Kinks - Something Else 13. Grateful Dead - Europe ’72 14. Keith Richards - Talk is Cheap (though some of my favourite tracks of his are on Main Offender, Talk is Cheap sounds better as a whole) 15. Klaus Mitffoch - Klaus Mitffoch 16. The Congos - Heart of the Congos 17. Janis Ian - Janis Ian 18. Bob Dylan - Bootleg Series Vol. 5, Live 1975 19. Serge Gainsbourg - Initials B.B. 20. Paul Simon - Paul Simon 21. Donovan - The Hurdy Gurdy Man 22. Richard In Your Mind - Ponderosa And I suppose that’s enough. Though I’d much rather also include all Beatles albums, SMiLE sessions, all Stones albums between 1965 and 1978 and probably a couple more from Zappa and Breakout |
If I'm not wrong, there don't appear to be any albums post 1980 on that list?

And "Talk is Cheap" is from 1988 "Home Boy, Sister Out" is from the 80s as well But apart from that I don't think so |
Interesting. Have you tried Tame Impala? Their first two albums might interest you, a bit of a throwback to 60s psychedelia and very melodic.

Did you just say grrrl riot? :laughing:
Also, I was surprised when I found out it was her in GLOW (an otherwise mediocre show about female wrestling that happens to feature Alison Brie). |

And regarding Kate Nash, the flaws of Girl Talk are what makes it better. Competent Lily Allenesque indie pop singer/songwriter? Meh. Slightly misguided but endearing riot indie pop grrrl? Hell yes. |

It was one of my most listened to songs during my LSD period two years ago (well, three I guess). I was very disappointed with his later output (yes, even with "Lonerism"). I had faith in him though, I still have, I guess, so whenever he releases something I give it a listen. I did like some of his later stuff like "The Less I know The better", "Let it Happen" and "My Life". But I don't nowadays. Overall I just don't buy it. I feel like he has this sort of mannerism, that is cool, but it led him down the path to doing this kind of Pseudo-Rock Disco, which I'm not particularly a fan of. I don't have anything against him, I'd be glad if Pop music sounded like this in the XXI century (it seemed like the logical extension of what was happening before that), and I thank him for giving me plenty of great memories with "It Is Not Meant To Be", but I'm not a fan. You know, I think that often the misconception about people mostly listening to 50s, 60s and 70s is that they just don't look for new/modern music and just judge it without...evidence? That's not the case. At least not with me. I'm open to new musical ideas, and I do search a lot, and I really try to like stuff that's coming out nowadays, but usually I just fail miserably. I suppose I was just made this way, and there's no Runnin' Away from it And I'm 21 btw, so you might call it snob or something, but certainly not nostalgia or coming-of-age type of thing Did you listen to Ponderosa though? That's a mighty fine album if you ask me. If you'd have any other suggestions, then please Suggest them |
Music From Saharan Cellphones is a good album u should check it out if u haven’t Mucha
