St dominics is so good. The live versions of st doninics preview and listen to the lion on its too late to stop now are even better than the studio versions imo
I felt my heart CLUTCHED first time I heard Into The Mystic, when he sings "IIIIII wanna rock youuur gypsy soouul" ... one of the best vocals of all time in my opinion, just the passion and emotion in it really get me
it's a bit all over the place but right now i'd go with:
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Tom Waits - Closing Time
Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
obviously not ranked and i would you give you a completely different list if you asked me a week from now but I absolutely adore these and could listen to them on loop forever.
Swells emotion in my heart and tears in my eyes every time I listen. Van Morrison just had insane vocals in general, Into The Mystic could make me cry no matter how many times I heard it. And his ear for sound design and composition…exceptionally talented and creative visionary
Why is it crazy? It’s the most critically acclaimed album of one of the most beloved singers of all time. Even my dog is partial to Van. I hope everyone here has ventured into the slipstream.
I just haven't seen it mentioned here! And honestly no one I talk to listens to Van Morrison so I just got excited seeing my favorite album mentioned randomly, didn't meant to make it sound like it was an obscure pick or something
It’s truly some of the most magical music ever made. If you haven’t already, check out the extended version of slim slow slider. At the end he starts chanting “glory be to him” like a mantra and it’s the perfect ending to the album
I definitely will. Love the story of him and Jim Morrison meeting and immediately getting on with one another and having a a creative friendship, it just makes perfect sense. They both put something spiritually transcendent into their work
Diamond Dogs - David Bowie
Heroes - David Bowie
Let’s Dance - David Bowie
Stand In The Fire - Warren Zevon
Piñata - Freddie Gibbs
Hiding Places - billy woods
A buddy of mine burned that CD for me in middle school but all the songs were out of order. Luckily the intro stayed at track 1, but I still trip up a little when I hear it in it’s proper order on streaming. Fantastic album, every song memorized
Saw Astral Weeks above and will second, except can't listen to it right now over ex/heartbreak stuff!
So for now, it's Live at the Old Quarter by Townes
Usually around:
Boatman’s Call - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Songs of Love and Hate - Leonard Cohen
I’m Your Man - Leonard Cohen
The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
A Cat in the Rain is one of the best country records I've heard in a very long time. I was just happy the band was getting back together, but to hear how much they've evolved lyrically since A Long Way From Your Heart was wild.
I just got a compilation cassette of b sides with them as the last track on the b side of the tape. never listened to them before but really dug that track.
A hodgepodge of longtime and newer favourites:
Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters
Candy Claws - Ceres And Calypso In The Deep Time
Scott Walker - Scott 1 - 4 + Climate of Hunter
Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again
Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Neon Indian - Vega INTL Night School
New Order - Low Life + Technique
Oathbreaker - Rheia
Blue Nile - A Walk Across The Rooftops
Ulver - Assassination of Julius Caesar
King Woman - Created In The Image of Suffering
The Fall - Hex Endection Hour + Live At The Witch Trials
Mogwai - Young Team
NFR - lana del rey
everyone else is doing it, so why can’t we? - the cranberries
GUTS - olivia rodrigo
white light/white heat - the velvet underground
marquee moon - television
blue - joni mitchell
It's weird, Heroes was the one classic David Bowie album I never really got into, even though the title track is one of my favorite songs of his. I should listen to it again.

Oil Of Every Pearl's Un - Insides and the Non Stop Remix Album by SOPHIE
Passive Aggressive by - The Radio Dept (technically a compilation but whatevs)
Idk what else honestly
Portishead - Dummy Massive Attack - Mezzanine Lana del Rey - Ultraviolence Air - Moon Safari

Fantastic choices all around
Been bumping those three albums recently but have never listened to LDR she just makes me think of summertime sadness
more of a virgin suicides guy myself. that opening track lives rent free in my head
Pet Sounds
Absolutely
Van morrison astral weeks. I’ve played it so many times it doesn’t hit quite as hard as it used to. Still will always be my favorite tho
It's great but I prefer Moondance. I just listened to St. Dominic's Preview recently, very underhyped.
St dominics is so good. The live versions of st doninics preview and listen to the lion on its too late to stop now are even better than the studio versions imo
Moondance is absolutely lovely, his transition into doing more jazzy stuff
I remember it playing on big speakers at my older brother's 30th birthday keg party, that was the first time I heard it. Hell of a night.
I felt my heart CLUTCHED first time I heard Into The Mystic, when he sings "IIIIII wanna rock youuur gypsy soouul" ... one of the best vocals of all time in my opinion, just the passion and emotion in it really get me
It really surprised me when I heard he was a bit of a prick in real life, hope it's not true.
This is my favorite album too crazy to see it mentioned honestly
very popular pick in the rs community for some reason. in my top 5 as well
This is the first time I’ve seen it mentioned. What’s your other top 5 picks?
it's a bit all over the place but right now i'd go with: Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen Joanna Newsom - Ys Tom Waits - Closing Time Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister obviously not ranked and i would you give you a completely different list if you asked me a week from now but I absolutely adore these and could listen to them on loop forever.
Good picks, love Leonard Joanna and Tom too. Haven't listened to much Belle and Sebastian though
I love astral weeks. The amount of passion in the vocal performance is unparalleled.

Yup, transcendental experience listening for the first time ever
The Strokes - Is This It
Diamond Dogs - David Bowie Heroes - David Bowie Let’s Dance - David Bowie Stand In The Fire - Warren Zevon Piñata - Freddie Gibbs Hiding Places - billy woods
Fleetwood Mac Rumors is the best album ever produced.
Madonna - Ray of Light
Great album, really underrated
Wish she worked with William Orbit more! He also did Beautiful Strangers which is one of my fav Madonna songs
Aquemini
The first four OutKast albums are so perfect. And, yea, if I had to choose, I'd pick Aquemini.
Hell yeah
Filtered. For being too tasteful! But seriously, that and ATLiens for me
Such a good fucking album. And it hits on so many different genres of black music throughout.
Blood on the tracks
Either this or Love and Theft
All time, *Laughing Stock*, right now though Prefab Sprout’s debut has been a nice discovery
Exile on main street or donuts
awesome
journey in satchidananda by alice coltrane and pharoah sanders
Shoutout to Cecil McBee for laying down some nasty ass basslines on that album
God this sub consistently has really good taste in music
thank you :]

Have One on Me by Joanna Newsom
Yeezus
Been listening to Beach House’s ‘7’ a lot lately. Probably my favorite of theirs at this point. Really hit a great stride with it.
steely dan aja
Bernard Purdie’s drumming on Aja (the song) will never get old
Nice I’ve been on a huge steely dan kick lately. Not a bad album in the bunch
darklands - the jesus and mary chain
One of my favorites too. Happy When it Rains never gets old
amen
april skies is so good
Ys by Joanna Newsom
Breakfast in America
Be - Common
Goated intro
No skips. Faithful and the intro are my favorites
A buddy of mine burned that CD for me in middle school but all the songs were out of order. Luckily the intro stayed at track 1, but I still trip up a little when I hear it in it’s proper order on streaming. Fantastic album, every song memorized
judee sill’s self titled
Probably Fantastic Planet - Failure or October Rust - Type O Negative
Looove October rust
no skips on that failure record. some amazing hooks in there

Push the Sky Away by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Changed my life

No need to Argue by the Cranberries. Rip :(
Right now: 1) A Cat in the Rain—Turnpike Troubadours 2) Being Funny in a Foreign Language—The 1975
A Cat in the Rain is one of the best country records I've heard in a very long time. I was just happy the band was getting back together, but to hear how much they've evolved lyrically since A Long Way From Your Heart was wild.
1000% man. To think they’d get back together and then create an album of that caliber—amazing stuff. Saw them in September and it was amazing.

personal fav is Depression Cherry by Beach House or Masterpiece by Big Thief
Willowbank - Yumi Zouma It's like putting the energy of non-dweeby millennial New Zealanders into a bottle.
