In no particular order:
Beatles - Abbey Road Many critics believe Sgt. Peppers to be their best, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for Abbey Road. Right from the poignant guitar in the first track of "Here Comes the Sun". Always warms up my record player. Bee Gees - Odessa Their pre-disco tunes are tremendously memorable, and before their first falling out this album was released. Robin's quivering vocals never get better than on the title track. Deep Purple - Shades of Deep Purple Gotta love Lord's psychedelic organ. Heavy metal fans may think of this as a small fundamental to metal (other than the Kinks)? Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado Quite possibly ELO's best album. Jeff Lynne is way too clever with his melodies. Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed Their first will always be their best, with I think their best songs "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon". Finding someone with Hayward's silky voice in that era/genre is almost impossible. Honorary mentions for albums of this generation: Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand Muse - Black Holes and Revelations There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Radiohead - Kid A
If you want an ear-opening album, this is where you go. Radiohead weave entrancing soundscapes of otherworldly beauty while still maintaining the rock sensibilities that put them at the top of their genre. Honestly, I'm a little surprised this wasn't mentioned yet. Most people seem to think that OK Computer is their masterpiece, but Kid A is so much more rewarding to me. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot To me, this album sounds like Kid A written fifty years earlier. Jeff Tweedy and company bring eleven songs that run the gamut from melancholy ballads to freewheeling folk rock, each highlighted with unique samples and instruments that perfectly distinguish each song. It's a shame their 2007 release isn't half this good. Panda Bear - Person Pitch The best description of this that I've heard is "a cross between The Beach Boys and The Velvet Underground." One of the best albums of this year, I think. Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children Awesome Scottish electronic music duo pioneer IDM music with everything from trip-hoppy chillout tracks to haunting samples of unintelligible human voices. Warm, familiar, and unsettling all at the same time. Okay, this last one is the black sheep. Girl Talk - Night Ripper Gregg Gillis samples something like 150 songs in this 40-minute long mashup that will make any music geek shoot his load in a second. Hearing the Yin Yang Twins accompanied by The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony is just the first combination that will blow your mind. A supremely clever work, and, as an additional bonus, is totally party-ready. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
