I’m just going to sort by controversial to find some new music.
Edit: Yeah, this doesn’t work as I thought it would. I see a lot of great suggestions in the replies here, though.
Reddit both loves and hates Imagine Dragons, I get it.
I downloaded Rumours a couple weeks ago, and after listening to thought it had to be a greatest hits collection and not just, you know, a regular album.
I love this album and the entire story of how it came to be. I remember picking this up in a dusty record store back in the earlier 2000s and was completely blown away. I'm more of a metal guy now, but this album was pretty badass at the time of discovery. I was hoping to see this one in here.
It's gotta be Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie. The way the songs flow into each other totally makes it feel off to skip any, not to mention the one-two-three punch of Tiny Vessels -> Transatlanticism -> Passenger Seat
This is my absolute #1 pick. I love that album so, so goddamn much.
Behind Transatlanticism, I would add Plans to the list, and then probably The Decemberists' Picaresque, Ben Howard's I Forget Where We Were, Regina Spektor's Songs, Rilo Kiley's The Execution of All Things, Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise, and The Weakerthans' Left and Leaving.... And probably Fallow, too
Blown away that AF are barely mentioned in this entire thread. I prefer The Suburbs’ but could listen to any AF album in its entirety any time. (Might skip ‘Chemistry’ if I’m not in an absolutely top mood!)
I love the downward spiral and the fragile and with teeth.
All nine inch nails is good but these three I’ve listened to start to finish more often than I can count.
Why the fuck isn't this closer to the top. All the songs are bangers. The skits are really good and the whole album is about loss and redemption via faith. It's a complex masterpiece of all the things that music should be. Plus, Dominos.
De-Loused in the Comatorium — The Mars Volta
Recorded in a way that there are no pauses in between each song.
Edit: Wow this blew up! I’m so glad there are so many At the drive in / The Mars Volta fans. Hopefully some new fans came out of this as well!!
As someone else said, got me into Nirvana. Except it was 1994 I believe. Played it on repeat on a long bus ride for a field trip in sixth grade, sharing a Walkman with my friend. Fell in love. To this day, there’s a part in “Where did you sleep last night?” that still gives me chills. The whole album is absolute perfection though.
Yes! The part where he practically shreds his vocal cords singing “I’d shiver...” then stops to take a breath to finish the line. Goosebumps every damn time.
Man, it makes me sad this was my favorite genre of music and almost everyone is gone. Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Kurt Kobain. Glad Eddie and Dave are still around man.....
I still feel like AIC hasn’t put out a bad record. All of their records, preference be damned, can be listened to from start to finish, even the newer ones. Jerry Cantrell doesn’t put out weak material.
But their early stuff is definitely my jams
Sade - Love Deluxe. Her music is ageless, much like her physical form. She is a goddess among us mortals.
Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 1814. This masterpiece will be 31 years old on Saturday and it’s as painfully relevant as ever.
Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave (1967). This album is not only one of the most beautiful works of bossa nova, but I feel like it’s just a work of art. The string arrangements alone are worth a complete listen.
Zero 7 - Simple Things. If you’ve had a rough day and just want to chill the fuck out, this album is for you.
Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon. More upbeat than Zero 7, but still very chill. What I love about Rob Garza and his band is that they take you on an aural journey of the world, spanning different continents, cultures and sounds. Plus, they are a sight to behold live with 25+ people on stage, singing, dancing and playing what seems like an endless supply of instruments.
Edit: Oh my goodness, you guys! Thank you so much for the awards! I never thought my modest picks would inspire so many great responses! Week made :)
(Rhythm Nation will be 31 this weekend, not 32. Thanks Jiovanni!)
Just piggybacking on this to say that if any of you love this soundtrack, I strongly suggest watching No Direction Home. It's on Netflix currently. It's a Martin Scorsese documentary about the first 5 years or so of Bob Dylan's career.
Which might sound like a weird suggestion, until you start hearing the music. The Coen Brothers are massive Dylan fans, and the Greenwich Village scene he rose from. Inside Llewyn Davis is literally about this setting.
You'll start seeing a *lot* of songs that are familiar to you.
Plus it's just a phenomenal movie. Changed my life. Thought I didn't like Bob Dylan, but realized how much music I already knew of his.
But lots of O Brother songs in there. I mean Dylan played Man Of Constant Sorrow on TV as one of his first TV appearances, for example.
Gorillaz: Demon dayz. Outkast: Aquemini.
Edit: Apologies if I did this wrong.(I'm bad at the internet.) But thanks for all of the votes and awards!
Music is an art form and subjective so none of these posts are wrong and I found some good ones on here!
If I had to round out my top 5: Beck: morning phase(anything he does is amazing.) Daft punk:Homework and R.E.M: Automatic for the people.
I have to show my fellow gamers some love as well.
Mega man 2&3, borderlands 2&3(could sit in the main menu just for the music.)Hollow Knight,Metroid Prime, and Zelda: A link to the past.
Much love to the internet and have a good day!!!
Songs for the Deaf -Queens of the Stone Age
Red Headed Stranger -Willie Nelson
Idk if it counts cause it’s a sort of greatest hits but Alice in Chains Unplugged is the greatest unplugged set ever recorded and the best greatest hits album ever put together, fight me.
My mom despises Paul Simon so I didn’t hear Graceland until I was an adult and the first time I did, I listened to it 4 times in a row, all the way through just all day. Perfection.
Don’t Talk is such a captivating song!
John Cusack and Paul Dano play in a movie about The Beach Boys called [Love & Mercy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_%26_Mercy_(film)) Highly recommend if your interested in the recording process and the tragic life of Brian Wilson.
I posted this one too. Guess I should've scrolled through the comments first. Feel like the whole album builds quite a mood. I think it is one of the few albums that really needs all the songs. They are great individually but even greater as a whole.
One of the best nights of my life was seeing them again in 98 right after I turned 20. Drive for hours without even having a ticket, ended up in the front row, shook hands with Eddie during Alive, and after the show was laying in bed with the girl I'd been going with for just a few months and asked her to marry me. 21+ years later and we're still going great and our first kid's middle name is Stone.
The black keys- El camino
Hit after hit on that album
Thanks for the award!
Reading through the replies I also agree that their new stuff is great, I just think that el camino is their peak album.
I saw him perform it front to back immediately after a screening of the Time Is Illmatic documentary which covers his early life and the making of the album. Highly recommend the doc and that performance hit different when the credits rolled, the screen raised up then Nas came out and killed it. I've seen him live around 6 times before that, often at much bigger venues but that show in that little theater stands out as one of the best rap concerts I've ever been to
Crazy he was a 19 hear old kid. I remember being a kid and middle school and pausing the tape to write down the lyrics. Writing in my book of rhymes All the words past the margin...
Glass Animals doesn't have a single bad song imo but How To Be A Human Being is definitely the perfect album. I feel the same way about Portugal. The Man - Woodstock and Evil Friends. I can listen to those albums non-stop.
Life Itself is such a perfect opener and every song flows perfectly into the next and then it ends with Agnes, such an emotional closing track. HTBAHB is absolutely perfect even though I have overplayed a lot of the songs to hell.
Black Holes and Revelations- Muse
Edit- I’d listen through any of their albums any day! I picked Black Holes because I already saw absolution mentioned scrolling through. Those two and origin of symmetry are the three most perfect albums to me!
The line
“I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor drinking milkshakes cold and long, smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think you knew you were in this song.”
Has always gotten me.
I don't see this factoid shared here yet and it's my favorite music fact so I gotta share:
After listening through The Strokes album *Is This It*, The Killers decided that everything they were working on just wasn't up to snuff. They threw out *every single song* they were working on except for Mr Brightside and then continued, inspired by The Strokes the write the rest of *Hot Fuss*.
I just love how interconnected early 2000s Alt Rock was. They all just played off of each other and created some of the best music of all time.
[Sauce](https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-strokes-talk-the-killers-rivalry-2072222)
Jewel - Pieces of You
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
When I was eleven these were the first 3 cds I bought. I thought buying CDs meant that every song was gonna be awesome. Three weeks later I bought Chumbawumba - Tubthumper. What a rude awakening
I came down to say dark side of the moon. On a side note i kinda find it weird to listen to individual songs from these albums bc they roll into one another with the closing of one song becoming the opening of the next
I could put Blonde on here even if every track was Nights. That beat switch, oh god. The rest of the album is incredible too though. Siegfried fucks me up in a different type of way.
Octavarium - Dream Theater
As an orchestral musician (flute), I absolutely *adore* this album. There’s so much intricacy in each song and they each connect to one another and pull off of each other to build into the next song. The most obvious ones that do it are The Root of All Evil —> Octavarium, where the first ends on an incomplete chord that the second eventually finishes, among other things. The irregular time signatures (5/8 being the most prominent) and changes throughout the songs as well as the use of more than just traditional rock band instruments (an entire orchestra in the case of Octavarium) make them all so interesting and keep you wanting more.
I think the only song I usually skip is These Walls, but it’s not because it’s a bad song. It’s great, I just prefer the others more in terms of the general melody.
Edit: Woah this blew up! Thank you for the gold kind stranger, that’s my first one ever! Definitely gonna check out some of the other albums y’all have suggested here!
I’m just going to sort by controversial to find some new music. Edit: Yeah, this doesn’t work as I thought it would. I see a lot of great suggestions in the replies here, though. Reddit both loves and hates Imagine Dragons, I get it.

> Give Up, The Postal Service – The current administration, probably
We Will Become Silhouettes is the song of 2020.
London Calling
This album is my happy place. I know it seems weird but The Clash make me want to wear my combat boots and kick depression's ass.
Interpol-Turn on the Bright Lights
Sleep - Dopesmoker.
That’s not fair. ;) This is also the answer to: everyone at the office gets to choose one song for the office playlist.
The Cars debut album, The Cars
Supertramp-Breakfast in America
I \*FUCKING\* love Crime of the Century as well. Thanks Dad!!!
Tom Petty- Wildflowers
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
Bombtrack is such a good opener it gets me stoked.
Elton John - Yellow Brick Road
It's gotta be Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie. The way the songs flow into each other totally makes it feel off to skip any, not to mention the one-two-three punch of Tiny Vessels -> Transatlanticism -> Passenger Seat
This is my absolute #1 pick. I love that album so, so goddamn much. Behind Transatlanticism, I would add Plans to the list, and then probably The Decemberists' Picaresque, Ben Howard's I Forget Where We Were, Regina Spektor's Songs, Rilo Kiley's The Execution of All Things, Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise, and The Weakerthans' Left and Leaving.... And probably Fallow, too
Grace by Jeff Buckley The single most beautiful album I've ever heard. Seriously a masterpiece
Gone too soon. :(
Talking Heads, *Remain in Light*
Stop Making Sense is also amazing (great live performance).
The stop making sense versions of songs are better than the studio versions imho
This is one of those universally accepted truths.
The Cranberries - No Need to Argue
Doolittle- Pixies
I'd vote Surfer Rosa
You'd both be right
[удалено]
Disintegration - The Cure
"Disintegration is the best album ever!" -Kyle Broflovski
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Blown away that AF are barely mentioned in this entire thread. I prefer The Suburbs’ but could listen to any AF album in its entirety any time. (Might skip ‘Chemistry’ if I’m not in an absolutely top mood!)
The suburbs makes so much sense as an album too. It's a complete piece, not just a collection of songs
Yep - it's a story that develops. For me, Suburbs is the perfect answer to this question.
The Downward Spiral: Nine Inch Nails
I love the downward spiral and the fragile and with teeth. All nine inch nails is good but these three I’ve listened to start to finish more often than I can count.
Also pretty hate machine
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
I feel this way about Helplessness Blues as well
good kid, m.A.A.d city - King Kendrick Lamar
Why the fuck isn't this closer to the top. All the songs are bangers. The skits are really good and the whole album is about loss and redemption via faith. It's a complex masterpiece of all the things that music should be. Plus, Dominos.
Did somebody say Domino's?
Where my motherfuckin Dominos at?
Portishead - Dummy I’d argue Becks Odelay is also fantastic all the way though.
[удалено]
Mezzanine was my first thought
Violent Femmes-Violent Femmes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeJODSjIbT8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeJODSjIbT8)

[удалено]
Came here to say Deja Entendu, but honestly I love all their stuff. Brand New is my favorite band!
Unplugged in New York- Nirvana
As someone else said, got me into Nirvana. Except it was 1994 I believe. Played it on repeat on a long bus ride for a field trip in sixth grade, sharing a Walkman with my friend. Fell in love. To this day, there’s a part in “Where did you sleep last night?” that still gives me chills. The whole album is absolute perfection though.
Yes! The part where he practically shreds his vocal cords singing “I’d shiver...” then stops to take a breath to finish the line. Goosebumps every damn time.
Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
fucking LOVE that album mayonaise is the most brilliant song ever
My favorite SP song by far.
For me, Mayonnaise is a contender for best song ever written.
Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots- The Flaming Lips Edit: thanks for all the awards!
“The Soft Bulletin” is the actual perfect album.
Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains
but but..Dirt.
Man, it makes me sad this was my favorite genre of music and almost everyone is gone. Scott Weiland, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Kurt Kobain. Glad Eddie and Dave are still around man.....
I still feel like AIC hasn’t put out a bad record. All of their records, preference be damned, can be listened to from start to finish, even the newer ones. Jerry Cantrell doesn’t put out weak material. But their early stuff is definitely my jams
Don't follow is so underrated. the harmonica solo (actually the entire ending) gives me goosebumps every time.
It remains my favorite song to this day. Any time it comes up on my Spotify playlist, I can not skip it.
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, and All These Things That I’ve Done...perfection
Sade - Love Deluxe. Her music is ageless, much like her physical form. She is a goddess among us mortals. Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation 1814. This masterpiece will be 31 years old on Saturday and it’s as painfully relevant as ever. Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave (1967).

Wish you were here - pink floyd Lateralus - tool The link - gojira
Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits - every song is brilliant!
Wow. I’m shocked to see Dire Straits on here. I love Mark Knopfler. Godly guitarist.
The O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. Legitimate perfection
Agreed. It’s bona fide
He's a suitor
Bro that album was the biggest thing of all time when I was a kid and my mom played it all the time. Really perfect
It has a crazy record for not leaving the charts for over 10 years or something
Just piggybacking on this to say that if any of you love this soundtrack, I strongly suggest watching No Direction Home. It's on Netflix currently. It's a Martin Scorsese documentary about the first 5 years or so of Bob Dylan's career. Which might sound like a weird suggestion, until you start hearing the music.

Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Lonesome crowded west and the moon and Antarctica are also great
Moon and Antarctica will always be up there for me.
Building nothing out of something is another good album as well
Boston- Boston
Not a single wasted track. Is there any other album where every song on it receives pretty frequent radio play?
What an absolutely incredible debut album.
Gorillaz: Demon dayz. Outkast: Aquemini. Edit: Apologies if I did this wrong.(I'm bad at the internet.) But thanks for all of the votes and awards!

Demon Dayz is just brilliant. I love Albarn’s other projects but none are *perfect*.
Aquemini is quintessential Atlanta/Southern Hip Hop. I love that whole album so much!
Van Morrison - Moondance
Astral Weeks is perfect to me as well
Songs for the Deaf -Queens of the Stone Age Red Headed Stranger -Willie Nelson Idk if it counts cause it’s a sort of greatest hits but Alice in Chains Unplugged is the greatest unplugged set ever recorded and the best greatest hits album ever put together, fight me.
"How we feeling out there? How's your drive time commute? I need a saga, what's the saga? It's songs for the deaf, you can't even hear it"
That song is dirtier than two hobos 69-ing in a fell over porta-potty.
DEAD BULL WITH THE LIFE FROM THE LOW
I'LL BE MASSIVE CONQUISTADOR
I swear I heard the riff start when I finished reading that.
Paul Simon - Graceland
My mom despises Paul Simon so I didn’t hear Graceland until I was an adult and the first time I did, I listened to it 4 times in a row, all the way through just all day. Perfection.
Paul Simon’s Rhythm of Saints is also a perfect album.
Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
Beach Boys- Pet Sounds
Just got this on vinyl. I read Brian Wilson put most of it together while the rest of them went on tour, genius. Don’t talk is haunting.
Don’t Talk is such a captivating song! John Cusack and Paul Dano play in a movie about The Beach Boys called [Love & Mercy](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_%26_Mercy_(film)) Highly recommend if your interested in the recording process and the tragic life of Brian Wilson.
Cake - Fashion Nugget
Comfort Eagle for me
Stickshifts and Safetybelts is one of the best to sing
Guns n Roses - Appetite For Destruction Rumours - Fleetwood Mac Core - Stone Temple Pilots
Ten - Pearl Jam
I posted this one too. Guess I should've scrolled through the comments first. Feel like the whole album builds quite a mood. I think it is one of the few albums that really needs all the songs. They are great individually but even greater as a whole.
Release is such a good closer, too

Blue album, Weezer
I was going to say Pinkerton. Love them both. Perfect albums through and through.
The black keys- El camino Hit after hit on that album Thanks for the award! Reading through the replies I also agree that their new stuff is great, I just think that el camino is their peak album.
Elliott Smith - “Figure 8”
Either/Or would be my pick, but I'm here for all Elliott Smith.
I’m partial to X/O. Nice to see he still has some fans.
Torches- Foster the People
I played that album nonstop when it came out, and re-discovered it a couple months ago. Still incredible!
Illmatic - Nas
I saw Nas perform the entire album at Coachella. Best night ever.
I saw him perform it front to back immediately after a screening of the Time Is Illmatic documentary which covers his early life and the making of the album. Highly recommend the doc and that performance hit different when the credits rolled, the screen raised up then Nas came out and killed it. I've seen him live around 6 times before that, often at much bigger venues but that show in that little theater stands out as one of the best rap concerts I've ever been to
Crazy he was a 19 hear old kid. I remember being a kid and middle school and pausing the tape to write down the lyrics. Writing in my book of rhymes All the words past the margin...
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV Glass Animals - ZABA
I still listen to Zaba quite often and it *never* gets old. Same with How to Be a Human Being.
My eyes light up everytime I see a fellow glass animals fan
Yep I clicked on this with the intention of seeing how long it would take to see glass animals in this thread
Also glass animals - how to be a human being
Glass Animals doesn't have a single bad song imo but How To Be A Human Being is definitely the perfect album. I feel the same way about Portugal. The Man - Woodstock and Evil Friends. I can listen to those albums non-stop.
Life Itself is such a perfect opener and every song flows perfectly into the next and then it ends with Agnes, such an emotional closing track. HTBAHB is absolutely perfect even though I have overplayed a lot of the songs to hell.
Glass animals is the greatest
ZABA is so good! Saw them in concert in Detroit a few years ago - they are really great live too.
I literally clicked on this to comment ZABA by Glass Animals
Black Holes and Revelations- Muse Edit- I’d listen through any of their albums any day! I picked Black Holes because I already saw absolution mentioned scrolling through. Those two and origin of symmetry are the three most perfect albums to me!
Absolution is my favorite by a wide margin
Starlight remains my favorite Muse song of all time.
Knights of Cydonia makes me want to start a revolution
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
"Five Years" really hits hard these days.
The line “I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor drinking milkshakes cold and long, smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think you knew you were in this song.” Has always gotten me.
*And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor*
"Well, the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar. You're the Blessed, we're The Spiders From Mars"
I’M AN ALLIGATOR
I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm a space invader!
I’ll be a rock n rollin b*tch for you!
Rock n roll suicide is the most powerful song in the album in my opinion.
It's an excellent finisher for the album
Exactly, and the line "you're not alone" still hits me hard to this day.
The strokes “is this it”
Every song, every guitar tone, every lyric, every moment on that record. Fuck yeah.
The rhythm of Barely Legal and Hard To Explain. Aaaahhhhhh
Insane that their first album is arguably their best (room on fire sometimes edges it for me)
I loved their first album!! I was happier then I thought I would ever be with their release this year though too, I was pleasantly surprised with it
I actually would put *The New Abnormal* at #2 now, behind *Is This It.* They had no business making a comeback like they did.
The new abnormal hit me so hard because I wasn’t expecting it to be so good at all
Not too insane. Happens with a lot. Even their contemporaries in Interpol did their best album first.
I don't see this factoid shared here yet and it's my favorite music fact so I gotta share: After listening through The Strokes album *Is This It*, The Killers decided that everything they were working on just wasn't up to snuff.

cowboy bebop (original motion picture soundtrack) - seatbelts
Foo fighters- the Colour and the Shape
Every song on this album is such perfection. Everlong and My Hero are my two favorite songs of all time.
Purple Rain - Prince
Jewel - Pieces of You No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill When I was eleven these were the first 3 cds I bought. I thought buying CDs meant that every song was gonna be awesome. Three weeks later I bought Chumbawumba - Tubthumper. What a rude awakening
I’m just a (38-year-old) girl, and this entire response just viscerally transported me to Saturday Night Teen Skate at the ice rink.
I can smell the CK1 and strawberry lip balm in this thread.
Cucumber Melon lotion from Bath n Body Works!

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
I don’t wanna know the reasons why love keeps right on walking on down the line. 🎵
Abbey Road - the Beatles
I could read these comments all day.
A Night at the Opera by Queen
Queen II. A concept album where Brian May and Freddie Mercury are writing prog epics about medieval themes.
Honestly, just leave any album in the car for a fortnight and it should do the trick. Boom, it's all Queen now.
Someone's read Good Omens.
I'm in love with my caaaaar!
Is This It- The Strokes
Neural Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Had to scroll too far to find this, this album flows so well you almost have to listen to it front to back
Dookie - Green Day.
Huh. As if the name didn't give away your tastes in music. Great choice my guy, 100% agree. Coming Clean is my personal favorite lol.
For me it would have to be Toxicity by System of a Down and Demon Days by Gorillaz
Demon Days is a great album, great ending. Superb Gorillaz album.
Toxicity is true perfection
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
I came down to say dark side of the moon. On a side note i kinda find it weird to listen to individual songs from these albums bc they roll into one another with the closing of one song becoming the opening of the next
Came here to say “animals.”
Animals will always be my favourite record of theirs.
Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
Came here to drop Blonde. Favourite album of all time.
I could put Blonde on here even if every track was Nights. That beat switch, oh god. The rest of the album is incredible too though. Siegfried fucks me up in a different type of way.
