a couple you guys might not be aware of.  I don't know if they're truly perfect, but top to bottom they blow my mind.<ol><li>Ed Harcourt - Strangers: one of the best albums i've ever owned.  Truly heart breaking and gorgeous.  If you're a p2p guy check out tracks like "let love not weigh me down," "This One's For You" and "Music Box."  Actually I will say that this record is PERFECT.</li><li>Cass McCombs: its a tie between "A" and "PreFection" Download "I Went To The Hospital" from A</li><li>Phantom Planet - The Guest: Oh man best power pop with an indie flare i've ever heard and i had the record BEFORE the OC. Their others are great too.  Download "Wishing Well"</li><li>And for all those that are into super heavy music The Chariot - Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, Nothing Is Bleeding: the most incredible hardcore record ever made.  Recorded entirely live in the studio you can actually hear the guitars feedback in between CHUCK CHUCK SQUEEEEEELS.  Thank god heavy music moved on from Nu Metal.  Fronted by Josh Scogin (formally of Norma Jean) he is hands down the BEST screamer I've ever heard.  And don't give me any of that "they rip off Botch" crap... This record SLAYS me.  Download "And Then Came Then"</li></ol>Wow that was winded... but i love those records.  Anyone listen to any of these artists?

If you go to a Phish show and had to characterize a lot of the people there, you'd call them hippies. Obviously not all of them are. But a good number certainly are.

I really can't think of that many albums where I wouldn't skip at least one thing that was recorded on it. The only one I can think of right now is NaS' Illmatic.

I'd say OK Computer if they had put "Palo Alto" on it instead of "Electioneering."

Well, whether the band is or is not overated, shouldnt have any bearing on the work on the album...especially when its a debut album (as an unknown band cant really be overated before they make the scene)

And while i have lost love for Rolling Stone mag, they gave the album 5-star instant classic rating when it came out....

I agree with your other picks as well with regard to Fugees, Sublime and Wu album.....great pieces.

Thought of a few more

Kanye West - Late Registration
The Roots - Illadelph Halflife
Green Day - American Idiot
50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Trying (Which is tough to call because it gathered a bunch of his underground stuff from mulitple DJ albums onto one album)

He has changed his mode throughout the years. Closing Time has greats like Ol' 55, Grapefruit Moon, and I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You. If you listen to later albums like Bone Machine and Mule Variations his style is completely different.

Swordfishtrombones is a fantastic record. I don't know if I would pick that as an album to begin with. I tried to compose a list that would be a good starting point.

Stankfoot

04-19-2008, 12:01 PM

My list would be:
The Heart of Saturday Night
Nighthawks at the Diner
Small Change
Swordfishtrombones
Rain Dogs
Bone Machine
Blood Money

Zoviet France-Mohnomishe from 1983. Double LP packaged in 2 screen printed boards tied together with twine. One of the finest experimental records ever.

I used to play songs from this album at raves, and the crowd would ALWAYS go crazy, no matter the song.

He has changed his mode throughout the years. Closing Time has greats like Ol' 55, Grapefruit Moon, and I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You. If you listen to later albums like Bone Machine and Mule Variations his style is completely different.

Swordfishtrombones is a fantastic record. I don't know if I would pick that as an album to begin with. I tried to compose a list that would be a good starting point.

I appreciate it.

"Down in the Hole," "Cold Cold Ground" and "'Til the Money Runs Out" are probably my favorites of what I've heard, so any of the albums along those lines (besides the ones those songs are on) would be what I'm looking for.

brand new - deja entendu

I love them because they changed how theyw ere so much, and they stayed away from repeating their first album like bands who played the same style of music did (ie Taking Back Sunday).

I would say that Brand New's latest realease is one of the most depressing albums ever realeased. It's amazing.

Mr. Bungle - California

California is such a great album, it pains me that I can't throw it on here. The reason???? "The Holy Filament".
While it's not a bad song, I have and would skip over that track.
Every other song on there is beyond perfect. They're heavenly.

...And Justice For All

I absolutely love this album from beginning to end, but as a bass player, there is no way I could put that on here.
What they did to Jasons' basslines are unforgivable.

I'd say OK Computer if they had put "Palo Alto" on it instead of "Electioneering."

That song is the only reason I could not put that album on here.

PRIMUS - PORK SODA 

Danzig - How The Gods Kill

Fugazi + 3 Songs by Fugazi

The Misfits - Static Age

Four of the five bands I believe deserve to have more than one album on here.

For Primus Pork Soda and....

For Danzig How The Gods Kill and....
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/luxa1/31DWFVYWYRL__AA240_.jpg

For Fugazi I personally think you can honestly put any one of their albums up here, but if I have to choose I'm going

And for the Misfits I'll have to add

Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Tool - Undertow
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Majick

Blind Melon - Soup
Butthole Surfers - Electric Larryland
