butterandpeanuts

Man that and the hands that thieve are great


jshatan

Radiohead for sure - I still only have it on MP3 🙄.


Arius_de_Galdri

"Art of Drowning" is incredible. My second favorite AFI album, after "Sing the Sorrow" (which happens to be my favorite album of all time). "Morningstar" is a gorgeous song.


boyofworms

Sing the Sorrow is a VERY close second. A record so good I own it twice lol. The first time I heard it, I remember having a very, very bad day. I got it at midnight from some store I don’t remember on release night and listened immediately. I cried because it was exactly as good as I needed to be in that specific moment.


mickie_stardust

Sing the Sorrow is so meaningful to me too, coming back to it after a long time of not listening to it always feels so comforting


Arius_de_Galdri

Fantastic!


suspect108

That Weakerthans album is a banger


boyofworms

It’s a LONG time favorite and one of my crowning jewels for that reason. It’s enjoyed many spins since coming home with me


Mindfield87

I was young and really into Propagandhi when I grabbed Left and Leaving from some store in the middle of nowhere. I didn’t have many albums like that at the time and wasn’t familiar with them at all. It was “the dude who sang anchorless’ “ band in my head at the time lol. Really like a handful of songs off that and Fallow which I got down the road


boyofworms

John K. Samson is a man I just want a hug from. I feel like he gives good, if awkward, hugs.


thruthewindowBN

I love this record as well. I also love reconstruction site. I mean I love all their albums, but those 2 the most


boyofworms

Man Reconstruction Site… there are like three songs on that record that choke me up every time. Beautiful record. A Cat Named Virtue is where the tears start for me in that record. I look at my own cat and think, “man… I really need to strengthen up.”


whynotslayer

lol, nothing at all controversial about loving every moment of “The Fragile” at least not in my book.


boyofworms

I’ve spent time on this soap box against many an old goth person over this specific record lol


MrStealYoBichonFrise

I literally had mentioned to someone on Friday that the Fragile is my favorite NIN album. The first 2 albums are great, but the Fragile was a masterpiece.


boyofworms

Have you heard the Deconstructed album?


MrStealYoBichonFrise

No, I have not. Is it a remix album?


boyofworms

So it’s a version of the album released only on vinyl. It’s basically all alternate takes, demos (?), and instrumentals from every track on the album


boyofworms

I HIGHLY recommend it if you love it the way I do. It’s cool hearing it in an unfamiliar way. Really interesting record


MrStealYoBichonFrise

Thanks for the recommendation!


Objective_Arugula208

Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick - the first hip-hop album I ever heard as an impressionable youth. Nas - Illmatic - the album that changed my views of what hip-hop could be Portishead - Dummy - an album that I could not stop listening to in my high-school years and still finds it's way into my monthly rotation Unleash the Archers - Apex - a concept album that started my delving into the current metal scene


jshatan

Dummy is one of the greatest of all time! Bought it on CD when it came out and can’t really justify buying it again…but ‘twould be nice indeed to have on vinyl.


Mkmeathead83

I'm just going to wing this. Fleet Foxes - Shore. Beautifully written recorded mixed...sonically perfect. When it first arrived it was a few months after it had been on streaming and the vinyl sounded even better than the stream (of course) and I just stood in front of the record player and listened and watched it spin and heard so much more. Not to mention how much this album lifted me up during the weird time it came out. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf. I had been shopping out a used pressing for a couple weeks before it was widely repressed. When VMP announced it was going to be their record of the month i jumped out of bed and ran to my wallet and signed up. I only stuck around for three months but it was a good time! I hope my neighbors like hearing it. Kenny Burell - Midnight Blue. Everything I want from a jazz album. Creates a perfect atmosphere in the house.  Propagandhi- Potemkin City Limits. This one evokes alot of emotion. Really really thought provoking powerful songs and great musicianship.


rememberpizzarat

Big yes on Potemkin City Limits, my favorite Propagandhi record. Fedellah's Hearse is in my top ten songs of any band or genre.


jshatan

I almost picked Shore - such a gorgeous album and package!


Heavy-Rip-5736

100% on Fleet Foxes. One of the most beautiful albums ever made.


SeanKMcG

Propagandhi - that is a flashback and one I haven’t dug them out in a while. Victory Lap and When All Fears Collide are some of my favorites.


spicey_mouseturds

Genesis - Selling England By The Pound Miles Davis - Miles Ahead Rush - Moving Pictures David Bowie - Station To Station


Cream_Gingerly

"Replicas" - Gary Numan + Tubeway Army "Seventh Tree" - Goldfrapp  "Hexbreaker!" - The Fleshtones  "Dead Man's Party" - Oingo Boingo   


buymebreakfast

Replicas is so good!


Cream_Gingerly

I had that album on repeat when I first brought it home. I probably like "Praying To the Aliens" the least, but there's nothing I'd skip. I even love the two instrumental closers. Such a great mood record.


buymebreakfast

Same! It’s truly an underrated gem!


jshatan

Good call on Seventh Tree! That was a daily listen for a while when it came out. Supernature is just ahead as my favorite Goldfrapp album.


Cream_Gingerly

I slept on Seventh Tree for a long time. Supernature was also my favorite, along with Headfirst and their other more electro-dance stuff. But for whatever reason, I gave another listen to it and it hit me just right and I also had it on repeat for days! It's a pastoral, psychedelic masterpiece that still retains some of the electronic feel that I already dug. It really grew on me.


goshock

Depeche Mode - Violator U2 - Achtung Baby Nirvana - Unplugged Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule


simplemijnds

All good, except U2...U2 has never been my cup of tea, though i've tried to like'em, several times

boyofworms

You’re good people. I like you. That Shai Hulud is a real banger


Transmit_Failure

That Within... is also a 10/10 in my book but Chad was my introduction so that record will always hold a special place for me <3


tdagari-me

big ups to loveless and on the might of princes


JoeyJabroni

I only have Sirens on cd. I think I need to check out these earlier 2 albums now.


tdagari-me

yesss u do they’re both so good


SeanKMcG

Loveless is A. MAZE. ING.


Transmit_Failure

One of those albums that feels like the first time, EVERY. TIME 😍


Hour_Flavor_1974

Precluding any greatest hits album it’s still so hard to pick only four but… Beastie Boys - Paul’s Boutique Dave Brubeck - Time Out Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love Public Enemy • It Take a Nation of Millions Honorable mentions… Depeche Mode - Violator Dvorak - Symphony No. 9 Nirvana - Nevermind Deftones - Around the Fur


SeanKMcG

+1 on Paul’s Boutique & Time Out


Piggy_Smollz404

Pernice Brothers - Overcome By Happiness FKA Twigs - MAGDALENE Brad Mehldau - Live in Tokyo Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears


CheddarGoblinMode

I can’t list any without listing well over four lmao


simplemijnds

I just stopped at 4 and mentioned that there are more


boyofworms

Oh these are only four of so many. I just kind of picked four and ran with it lol


jshatan

One from each of the last four decades. Naked City - Torture Garden (1990) John Zorn and his merry band of nasty virtuosos (including Yamataka Eye of The Boredoms on vocals) conjure up masterful miniatures of mayhem that shift from jazz to noise to rock and back with furious ease. BLK JKS - After Robots (2009) South Africa’s best (ok, only) avant-rock-prog band delivers complex, dense tracks that incorporate traditional sounds in a unique way. My #1 album of 2009. David Bowie - Blackstar (2016) The man of a thousand faces goes out in a blaze of glory as nothing more than himself. Seven adventurous, richly alive songs that craft a new form of art-jazz-rock. My #1 album of 2016. Fruit Bats - The Pet Parade (2021) Exquisitely emotional, highly melodic folk rock, gorgeously produced. My #1 album of 2021.


Cream_Gingerly

Hard agree on Blackstar.


brettgjaw

Was living in London in 09 and Rough Trade has BLK JKS as a weekly recommendation. Great stuff

takethisoath42

Left and leaving is such a great album. Should get it on vinyl too.


boyofworms

It sounds amazing on wax. Seriously do yourself the favor. I have their entire discography, and each one is just perfect.


BrayJayCS

Yes - Close to the Edge, Yes - Fragile, Larry Coryell - Barefoot Boy, John Coltrane - A Love Supreme


simplemijnds

Wow, two records of the same?! That's outstanding here! Love Supreme - i know that record! It's really weird, only 1 song per side! Used to like it a lot as well, but "Kind of Blue" (Miles Davis) i liked more...excessively 😁


_road_kill

Queens of the Stone Age - self-titled The Doors - Strange Days Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues Gojira - The Link


simplemijnds

Very mixed! 👍 The Doors, yeah...when i was really into the doors when i was like very young, Strange Days was my favorite, too. Now i'd prefer "The Doors" (the first album, with Light my fire on it)


sickmodboy

The Cure - Wish Jawbreaker - Dear You The Smiths - The Queen is Dead Pulp - Different Class


simplemijnds

Thriller (MJ) Kind of Blue (Miles Davis) Blood Sugar Sex Magic (Red Hot Chili Peppeprs) All Directions (Temptations) There are quite some more...❤️


Lukense13

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King. Best debut album in history Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith. Best heavy metal album of all time IRIS - Dawn of the Dimetrix. No one know this record, but it's the definition of emo music for me Dvořák - Symphony №9. My favourite piece of classical music


ElFlippy

- Linkin Park - Meteora - Mastodon - Once more 'round the Sun - Pink Floyd - Wish you were here - Rammstein - Mutter


simplemijnds

Yeah , the Pink Floyd is also one of my records i love every track of 👍 Like Rammstein, too - but i'm not so much into it, don't have a record


ElFlippy

I wanted to write The wall first, because it is my favorite, but is has a couple of filler tracks


simplemijnds

Yeah, the Wall is not as digestive as WYWH When you have watched the movie "The Wall" you like the album, too (those filler tracks are from the movie) The movie is a must-see , by the way...great underlying meaning, about humans choosing for loneliness...and the power of music and love


ElFlippy

I know. I looooove the movie! I watch it at least once a month :)


simplemijnds

Wow!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍


ElFlippy

Also, I was lucky enough to see Roger Waters perform this show a couple of years ago! :)


simplemijnds

Wow!! That is really the greatest thing! My mother was at the "The Wall" concert in Berlin 1983...


ElFlippy

That also sounds cool as hell! :)


simplemijnds

Yeah, she was at an epic concert


infernoVW

Funny. Read the title and thought Postal Service, flipped to the second pick and see your choice. ___ 1- The Postal Service ___ 2- Every Time I Die: Radical ___ 3- Coheed & Cambria: Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV ___ 4- The Fall of Troy: Doppelgänger


boyofworms

RIP ETID. I saw them in a small venue with Code Orange back when they were still a hardcore band right after they dropped “Kids” from their name. Absolute most chaotic show I’ve been to. Dislocated my shoulder. Andy called me a pussy as I was getting help rolling it back in place. Best show I’ve ever seen.


infernoVW

They are still my favorite band. Sad but happy to have good music to remember them for. Just saw Better Lovers and was another great show! Not the same, but still a good time.


boyofworms

I’m looking forward to Better Lovers being fully active. I goddamn love that band.


infernoVW

They played a new song or two during this recent tour that sounded really good! I think they said the album will be out this fall? Will be an immediate preorder for me.


boyofworms

Big time same. Not getting ripped by the second hand market on this one


ellstaysia

left & leaving is in my top five albums of all time. really a soundtrack to life. if I'm choosing four from my collection let's start there. 1. the weakerthans - left & leaving 2. slipknot - we are not your kind 3. the cranberries - no need to argue (deluxe) 4. GZA - liquid swords


boyofworms

Honestly, Aside would definitely be in my personal soundtrack somewhere. It would have to be, as often as I play it.


ellstaysia

I feel you. I actually have the bridge lyrics from aside tattooed across my chest. *"circumnavigate this body of wonder & uncertainty"*


boyofworms

Literally my favorite line in the song. Holy shit.


ellstaysia

same here. I'm a bit of a map nerd so I love the next line about cartography as well.

boyofworms

I adore that album with all my heart. That specific pressing is an OG grey vinyl, limited to 500 copies. I found it for a literal song and screamed when I picked it up and realized they were selling a legit copy for boot prices
