My Top Albums.
Finally joined and thought I would create a list of albums that have always stuck out to me. Of course this is always subject to change. |
| 15 |  | Pixies
Surfer Rosa
This was a toss up for dinosaur jr. and sonic youth, but pixies just do it better. Favorite track: Gigantic. |
| 14 |  | The Smiths
The Queen Is Dead
I love all of the smiths discography, from their debut single to the peel sessions, with an exception of strangeways, but this feels like they were at their musical peak, it's smiths perfection. Favorite track: there is a light that never goes out. |
| 13 |  | Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures
Dark and slow, the atmosphere alone can drive you crazy. Favorite track: shadowplay. |
| 12 | | David Bowie
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Great rock record, that's it. Favorite track: rock 'n' roll suicide. |
| 11 |  | The Beatles
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's hard to only pick one, for obvious reasons. If you're not a Beatles fan you're either a liar or an asshole. Favorite track: a day in the life. |
| 10 |  | Ty Segall
Melted
Forget Wavves, this is the real king of the beach. Favorite track: imaginary person. |
| 9 |  | Grizzly Bear
Horn of Plenty
This was my introduction to lofi, and i hold it very close to my heart, it's very imperfect by that's what i love about it. Favorite track: don't ask. |
| 8 |  | The Microphones
The Glow pt.2
This shocked me, it's an amazing achievement in the world of indie music, and shouldn't be missed. Favorite track: the glow pt. 2. |
| 7 |  | Botch
We Are the Romans
It was this album, along with Glassjaw's "Worship and Tribute" that introduced me to a new world of heavy music. Favorite track: saint matthew returns to the womb. |
| 6 |  | Gang Of Four
Entertainment!
I'm a big fan of post punk if you can't tell by now, but this band fuzes a lofi punk sound with disco so well it's hard not to get trapped inside. Favorite Track: damaged goods. |
| 5 | | Death From Above 1979
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
This albums raw, sexual, oddly danceable and rarely lets up, it's a good dance punk album and a damn fine rock album. Favorite track: going steady. |
| 4 |  | Glassjaw
Worship and Tribute
See number 7. Favorite track: tip your bartender. |
| 3 |  | The Sound
Jeopardy
Extremely underrated, due to being overshadowed by Joy Division, it's dark, catchy, political without being too political. Favorite track: i can't escape myself. |
| 2 |  | Joy Division
Closer
Unknown Pleasures shaped the way i felt about life, this album shoved it down my throat and made me swallow with tears running down my face. Favorite track: heart and soul. |
| 1 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Very generic number 1, but nfg. My only complaint is I can't stand nico, I hate her. Besides that, this album is by far the most perfect thing my ears have ever listened to. Favorite track: black angel's death song. |
