Nirvana - Nevermind
No question. I got it when I was 15 in '91. Over the years, I’ve seen countless bands of various genres. My tastes evolved, and frankly, some of the records and CDs I loved at that age have not held up as my taste and musical appreciation broadened, but this one’s timeless. For a while, I preferred In Utero for its rawness, but Nevermind is basically flawless in my opinion.
@YeahIgotskills2 @als I feel the same… discover nirvana way late arround 2010, I feel its simple and a masterpiece at same time
Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age
In my opinion, it’s one of the most solid albums ever, start-to-finish - the kind of album that’s great on tape.
100% awesome album.
you can’t even hear em!
this is one of the dozen or so albums that I’ll listen to front to back. I appreciate when an album is put together as a whole work and not just a bunch of songs smahmshed together
do I know for sure that album was made that way? no. but it feels like it.
Hybrid Theory
My first thought as well.
Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park) is objectively the greatest album of all time in my subjective opinion
My Head is an Animal (Of Monsters And Men) is probably my personal favorite though
Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle. I’ve listened so many times start to finish, absolutely in love with it.
ahhh thanks for the reminder this exists. it’s like an instant time warp for me to a different era
Came here to say this exact album.
Right now it’s a toss-up over:
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Graceland by Paul Simon
Time by Electric Light Orchestra
She’s So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
(I really love them all; other top contenders are Born to Run by Springsteen and Untitled by Blink-182)
+1 for Graceland, not my current favourite, but always high up there.
What a hard question. But i always come back to Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Ditto. Ride the lightning was my, “and the rest was history” moment. Never even cared about music until then.

Pornography by the Cure. So dismal
Yellow by Baroness.
Well, technically its a double album: Yellow & Green. And I would say Green is a close second.
Something about it just blew my mind. Like, I had heard Baroness before, stuff from Red and Blue. They had a song or two on the early Guitar Hero games. I just thought “oh another okay metal band, whatever”. Yellow and Green were just… Different. The tone, the vocal style. The whole approach to writing ans playing guitars was different than what i was used to. Thr production has this kind of modern dirtiness, like the noise came from radiation or something. The lyrics are absolutely battling, as they were translated across multiple languages and the meaning was only clinging to them by a thread. The album art is incredible too. The bass is perfect, never too much or too little. The drums use disco and other dance beats along side this metal-ish music in a fantastic way.
It kind of felt it cane fron another dimension. A different timeline where English and western music evolved similarly to ours, but jjsy different enough to be uncanny.
I don’t really know. Kinda depends in the mood I’m in I guess.
Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Alice in Chains - Facelift
FIDLAR - FIDLAR
Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
EDIT (some more):
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Pearl Jam - Ten
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV.
That album is a masterpiece.
Oof that’s a hard one. One of the below:
Jimmy Eat World ‘Clarity’
Mineral ‘The Power Of Failing’
Neutral Milk Hotel ‘In The Aeroplane Over The Sea’
The Decemberists ‘Picaresque’
I definitely like seeing Picaresque up here, fantastic album.
Hey if you like that, well I can’t really explain why this album is similar, but try “England Keep my Bones” by Frank Turner.
Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.
In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.
I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman
although Cat is a misogynistic asshole, his music is still fire.
