| I saw this band back when I was a young lad in 2007 and I have been in love with them ever since. I have so many memories with all of their music. And Dresser is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. I highly recommend this to any fan of twinkly post hardcore/emo stuff. http://insouciant.bandcamp.com/album/dresser |

| Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon |
| There are many albums that have been named the "greatest" of all time. Rolling Stone says The Beatles' "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", my best friend says Radiohead's "Kid A", and my neighbors little brother says the Pokemon soundtrack. And half of my Pink Floyd fan friends say "Dark Side of the Moon". Sure, the album is without a doubt a classic, but not my idea of the greatest album of all time. Definitely up there, though. |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here |
| Radiohead The Bends |
| In my opinion, this is radiohead's best album (closely followed by Kid A. OK Computer never caught on that great with me. When i first heard it i thought "Pretty good album". Then I listened to "The Bends". Then I listened to "The Bends" again. Then I listened to "The Bends" about 50 more times. I just couldnt stop listening. It is the blend of rock that would eventually form into OK Computer. |

| Tool is a strange band. Maynard behaves strangely during live shows, they have strange album artwork, and strange album and song names (Aenima, Prison Sex, Disgustipated). Despite the strangeness of the band, they create some of the most awe-inspiring and creative music that I have ever listened to. The only flaw that I could have with this album is the intro to "Reflection", which drags a little long. |
