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. |
23 | | Tricky Maxinquaye
This was released in 1995? |
22 | | Duster Contemporary Movement
"Travelogue" is a natural wonder of the universe. |
21 | | Kate Bush The Dreaming
I wanna turn into a mule too. |
20 | | Red Krayola The Parable of Arable Land
Thanks, Scaruffi. |
19 | | This Mortal Coil It'll End in Tears
Will it? |
18 | | Tiger Trap Tiger Trap
"Puzzle Pieces"
That's all. |
17 | | Julia Holter Aviary
My soul released from my body a few times when I first listened to Aviary. |
16 | | cLOUDDEAD cLOUDDEAD
cLOUDDEAD |
15 | | Sonic Youth Daydream Nation
or Bad Moon Rising. Come back within a month, and it might change. |
14 | | My Bloody Valentine Loveless
Pink album covers are always the best. |
13 | | Bluetile Lounge Half-Cut
Fully functional. |
12 | | Can Tago Mago
The second half > the first half. Don't @ me. |
11 | | Fishmans Uchuu Nippon Setagaya
It's like being on the clouds. |
10 | | The Cure Pornography
I have the Book of Mormon on my bedside table whenever I listen to this. |
9 | | Northern Picture Library Alaska
Criminally underrated dream pop album. |
8 | | Janet Jackson The Velvet Rope
We go deep and we don't get no sleep cause we be up all night until the early light. |
7 | | Various Artists No New York
Yes, please. |
6 | | Suicide Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev
It's either Suicide or Suicide. I can't decide! |
5 | | The Velvet Underground White Light/White Heat
WHIP IT ON ME, JIM. |
4 | | Swirlies They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days...
"Two Girls Kissing"
Need I say more? |
3 | | Felt (UK) Ignite The Seven Cannons
I'm deeply offended that Felt has been relegated to "Felt (UK)". Shame. |
2 | | The Field Mice So Said Kay
Sarah Records were rad as hell. |
1 | | Bjork Vespertine
Suck on that, Radiohead. |
