Are there any albums (ep's included) that you hold dearly to you wether it be because of its inovation, lyrics that resonate with you or appreciating the musical craftsmanship?

Malice Mizer's Merveilles that's definitely my favorite album of all time

Ruth White made an album called Short Circuits which is pretty good

I really love disintegration from the cure

Filosofem

mfzb will always be an album i cherish

i will forever treasure "Absolute Still Life" by Wreck and Reference.

Playboi Carti whole lotta red !!!!!!!!

the milk eyed mender by joana newsom. magical lush weird orchestral folk music, fills my head with sunset clouds and fairy dust when i listen

The Pod by Ween

Clairo - Charm

I love to imagine myself getting raped while listening to this album

Shizuka's Owari no nai yume. It's a video album. There's something disarmingly quaint and incisive about it, especially when compared to the rest of Shizuka's recordings.

Venetian Snares - Cubist Reggae

quite frankly i have never heard anything like it before prior to listening to it for the first time a few years ago and have yet to hear anything similar either. in a lot of way it feels fairly reflective of my how i mind operates. It's hard to say i would have a top album of all time but i imagine it would be this nothing else it like it from what i have heard

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim: The Complete Reprise Recordings

Every song in this album is beautiful; I really think Sinatra was at the peak of his voice during this recording.

Bossa Hula Nova - Lisa Ono

I care so deeply, it seems, about this album that I destroyed one of the inserts and writ all over the cover during a period of 'artistic expression'. I've yet to deface and destroy the disc itself but it will have to happen at some point. I don't know if or when I'd buy another one.

"He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms..." album by A Silver Mt. Zion. Key track being "13 Angels Standing Guard 'round the Side of Your Bed", I really hope you like it as it's become the most significant track of my adult life. It's probably the one I'd murder myself to if that was ever to happen. I have currently only 2 angels in my room, perhaps those of the rat corpses in my garden (not carcasses, fuck you).

Turn up your volume loud and confuse your neighbours with this track (don't worry there're no jumpscares) - https://youtu.be/hQZfGa5t4e8

slug christ - plant mentality

Easterly 6 or 7 and Errant Angels by Rapoon resonate with me on a deeply personal level

No Control by Bad Religion is one of those albums I could listen to nonstop. It sounds great, the messages just resonate with me, and honestly, it's probably the second best of their albums. It also has my absolute favorite single song of theirs (You, you know, the one that was in THPS2).
Also yes, I do think they peaked pretty early on as a band, even if I like a lot of their later albums.

and believe these words you hear
when you think your path is clear...
we have no controooooooool!
we have no controooooooool!

I think Generator is number one in a musical sense (the title track to that album might be my second favorite BR song, or at least in the top three), but for whatever reason, I think I care more about No Control as a whole work.

Suffer is also a really really good album

>>20
Yeah.
Suffer is what got me into BR in the first place. A buddy of mine bought it for me for my birthday when I was young, and I was hooked.

>>21
I have listened to it on repeat so many times. The lyrics have this weird absurdist sense of humor that I really enjoy.
“Break all the rules and go to hell with Superman and die like a champion YEAH!”

I may have botched the lyrics because I’m on an anti-histamine right now and very sleep deprived lol

SpaceGhostPurrp - Chopped By Purrp
Very mellow sound to it. Unrelated, but oftentimes, especially recently, I like to envision the music that I heavily appreciate being used in AMVs. Who knows, maybe I can start making them myself?

>>24
Purrp’s NASA mixtape is peak internet rap to me…it’s such a vibe

>>25
The NASA mixtape is actually what got me into Purrp's music, and that was probably a little over a year ago when I first heard it. I've slowly been listening to the rest of his discography since then (in no specific order) and all of it has been really good so far. I'm starting to understand why SpaceGhostPurrp is considered one of the most influential rappers of our time. As of now, his album Blackland Radio 666 Pt. 2 remains my favorite album ever.
