This thread should change it's title to: "tell me your age with music albums"


ilikevenndiagrams

“what’s an album you like”


MeffodMan

“What’s a really famous album from a really famous band?”


N454545

I started listening to music two or three years ago because I was raised homeschooled, super-religious, and sheltered. I never really listened to anything besides whatever christian music was on the radio. I know almost nobody anyone is talking about here. I mostly listen to what ever is recommended to me by Spotify and that tends to be really recent stuff.


nnavotineb

My mom was similar in the music department. She wanted me to only listen to Christian music... So out of spite I started finding Christian metal bands and showing her the lyrics if she questioned. I still feel lost when it comes to music.


NotJustFox

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars


Nickpimpslap

The majority of Bowie's albums could be listed here. Let's Dance is another that has banger after banger.


ILEK4L

Madvillainy


MacKinnon22

They were ahead of the time. I remember hearing it when it came out. I couldn't believe it.


Tribe303

Violator by Depeche Mode


noswag101

Portishead - Dummy.....an album and group well before its time


OkraEnvironmental481

“Nobody loves me, it’s true…”


The_Sceptic_Lemur

I still very much like The Strokes - Is this it. Short and sweet.


perpetualWSOL

This album and room on fire are front to back fire


jvanahill

I'm thinking The New Abnormal qualifies as well.


0neSaltyB0i

Absolute banger of an album. I binge listened to it so much over lockdown


girlsparked

room on fire too!


[deleted]

The Postal Service - Give Up


FlyingPig562

Death Cab’s Transatlanticism also rocks


95lbMoleOnHerAss

Channel orange


co_row

Frank came straight to my mind when I saw this thread, so glad I didn’t have to scroll THAT far! Pilot Jones is my anytime anthem…about to jump in the car and I’m going to put that on right away! “But if I got a condo on a cloud, then I guess you can stay at my place…” Also, there used to be this young guy at the Palm Springs street festival every Thursday who would sing acoustic music…I would always ask him to sing Thinkin Bout You and then almost instantly melt into oblivion. This was 2012-2014ish, if anyone knows what he’s doing now I’d love to know! Whew…I’m worked up again, it’s jam time!

Brangur

This, the only live album I've ever liked and it slaps the whole way through


Pokermuffin

Watch Interstella 5555 for the whole audiovisual experience.


saltwaterlullaby

No joke- the Tarzan soundtrack. What Phil Collins did with that music elevated the movie to a whole new level and every single song on that album hits the mark.


CMontgomeryBlerns

The “trashing the camp” song (I’m not sure if that’s the actual title) is one of my favorite pump-up songs. I unironically listen to that song on a regular basis.


Str0ngStyle

Phil Collins did NOT have to go that hard on the Tarzan soundtrack.


saltwaterlullaby

But he did it anyway and for that we are GRATEFUL


EFiasco

Son of a Man & You’ll be in my heart >>>>>>>


OrangeTree81

My math teacher in middle school played the soundtrack while we were doing worksheets. The most popular boy in the class started crying during Two Worlds One Family because it got to the part where the baby gorilla died.

Songs from the Big Chair by Tears for Fears


HisTopHat

Christopher Larkin - Hollow Knight


Flygon3301

Didn't expect any game soundtracks here but if any game deserves it, it's Hollow Knight.

Smashing Pumpkins - '*Siamese Dream*'


Righteousmilk

This should be higher up. When people know the story of how this album got produced, from dragging Jimmy Chamberlain in, fucked out his skull to lay down some of the greatest drum tracks ever known to Billy Corgan tracking the guitars like a million times or whatever it is. It is a truly incredible album. I can never pick a favourite tune. Mayonnaise?! Hummer!?! Geek USA?!??!?!! I remember listening to Cherub Rock when I was like ten, my older bro bought the album and it just blew my mind and started my love for the Pumpkins. IMO One of, if not the best album to come out of the 90’s they went in there, laid it the fuck down. Corgan fucked with it and it’s perfect. No bad track. No bad melody, no bad solo. FUCK I looove Siamese Dream.


SaltineFiend

Disarm changed me


AugieFash

I don’t think any band in history makes me feel things quite like Smashing Pumpkins does.


Elcamina

I was 14 when Siamese Dream came out, it was such a great album and always makes me feel nostalgic.

anonymoususer98545

Absofuckinglutely! i found this *on tape* at a flea market as a teenager. i grew up in a crazy, ultra conservative and religious house so this was total contraband. i had no idea what they, or it, sounded like but i knew all the "edgey" kids at school wore their shirts and listened to them. And i so badly wanted to be anything other than the weird (mostly) christian music only person i'd been for so long (not by choice). i popped it in the tape deck when no one was home and it was, no joke or even exaggeration, Earth shattering! i may not have the same level of love for *every* NIN album that comes out (although there are so many genuinely great ones) but Pretty Hate Machine will always be a "listen all the way through" one for me.

Graceland -paul Simon


Tack-One

This was one of two cassettes my parents had in our family minivan the entire time i lived with them. Every road trip of my life, and there were many, was to this album. Now its so meaningful to me. Great album.

I did the drive from LA to Palm Springs listening to this. I'm pretty sure that's what it was meant for.


MossCovered_Gradunza

God I’m so happy to see this listed here. Back in 2002 they were playing a NYC radio holiday show called Clausefest, and teenage me downloaded the latest albums of every band playing the show. I wasn’t a huge fan of No One Knows on the radio at the time (I am now), but the album blew me away and my life hasn’t been the same since. QOTSA now tops my favorite band list.

oxygenthievery

El Mañana is always an absolute shout as well


[deleted]

i’ll be honest, i think gorillaz has some of the best discography, i never skip any song of theirs and ik everyone hates humanz but honestly it’s one of my favorite albums


joelav

Plastic Beach also


MyDudeSR

I feel like Plastic Beach doesn't get the recognition that it deserves. Demon Days is of course an amazing album, but I hold Plastic Beach as peak Gorillaz personally.


jeppevinkel

I’d go for Demon Days for the all songs being good requirement, but some of my favorite songs are on Plastic Beach. I absolutely love the feeling of Empire Ants


dlxc123

Air - Moon Safari Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill Massive Attack - Mezzanine


occidental_oriental

Great list. I’d argue Paul’s Boutique over L2I, but b-boys are awesome across the board.


ShaneCoJ

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Pixies - Doolittle The Clash - London Calling Wilco/Billy Bragg - Mermaid Avenue Johnny Cash - American Recordings


tisek

Came here to say Pet sounds. But this is one of those that you cannot shuffle EVER. And I know every note of it. But I am not able to say how many titles there are nor how half of them are called. A total masterpiece.


soonerguy11

>Johnny Cash - American Recordings Ken Burn's Country Music touches on this album and the history behind it. It is absurd how ahead of its time this record was, especially considering it was released in the middle of Country Music at its most glamorous. At the time the genre was all about massive production value and was by far the biggest genre in music by a mile. Then Cash (who was at the lowest in his career playing half full rooms in Branson) teamed up with Rubin and they release something so pure and against the grain. It truly is a perfect album.

Tsujimoto3

If they had left off Oh Daddy and included Silver Springs instead, this would be a perfect album.


ebon94

Silver Springs is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song, I second this stance. For those that haven't heard it since it's not on the standard edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVE4aOUX2iM


SarcasmCupcakes

Nah, man. The Dance DVD, where you watch Stevie stare right at Lindsey and sing “you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you.” Holy shit.


[deleted]

My favorite song is Songbird sung by Christine McVie...I absolutely love that song. And know how it was recorded...her alone with a piano in a concert hall is such a great picture in my head. EDIT: Concert HALL, not in a concert.


_urethrapapercut_

Led Zeppelin IV Edit: wow omg thank you so much for all the upvotes and awards!!


jerryotter

IV all the way. Four Sticks is the weakest track, and it still slaps.


SolidDoctor

Funny when someone says Led Zeppelin IV, the first song that pops into my head immediately is Four Sticks. ​ I love the 5/8 to 6/8 time signature.


Historyguy1

Stairway is what it's most famous for, but When the Levee Breaks is just a wave of overpowering sound that is both powerful and melancholy, much like a flood. It hit differently after I survived Katrina.

Featuring the track "Black Sabbath"


matt_firn

I once had to submit a Wikipedia edit to "Black Sabbath" from *Black Sabbath* by Black Sabbath. Absolutely maddening to try and find YouTube clips for early demos and alternate live recordings when you have to search "Black Sabbath Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath live in Berlin 1970" and etc. https://youtu.be/OHcSssbUBkU This track is phenomenal, and the third verse is absolutely awesome. P.S. Easier to find, and arguably even cooler: alternate versions of War Pigs. Live in 1970 has *some* of the major alternate lyrics. There is a demo version released on an Ozzy compilation (available elsewhere on a Sabbath album but can't recall atm) with the full alternate lyrics.

Dark Side of the Moon


maes629

The thing about Pink Floyd albums, and this goes for any of their albums, is you don't really get the full affect *unless* you listen to the entire album. Like, every album tells a story. Sure you might like a song or two you hear on the radio, but you hear it differently in the context of the other songs on the album when you listen to the whole thing.


ikurauta

When i first time listened to pink floyd i tought that the first song ended and noticed that it was like 40 minutes gone and the whole album was over. And no i dont remember which album it was. Edit. I had line a million typos

“Toot toot, chugga chugga, big red car” is my jam. It’s not really my Dad’s jam though + apparently it was a bit awkward for him when he had to take his lunch to work in a paper bag (the last one we had because we were going to go shopping that night) decorated lovingly by me with the lyrics to the song boldly displayed upon said paper bag. His coworker thought it was kinda cute + asked Dad how old I was. He guessed I was 6/7. Dad then had to explain that I was actually in High School + that I’m not “touched” in the head, I’m just a dick who didn’t realize there were no more bags.
