    Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.

    Shine On is so beautiful. Then the middle songs, especially the title track, scratch that more catchy, accessible itch.

      Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.

      My dad would fall asleep to this album when I was growing up. It’s really special.

        ‘Falling asleep’.

        I have seen people pass out while that album was playing.

          No, he would literally queue the album up after he tucked me in to bed and then got ready to go to bed himself.

          I’m sure many people have done drugs while listening to Pink Floyd, and my dad sure did in his youth, but he truly used that album as a sleep aid lol

      I recently rediscovered my love for this work and also discovered that it’s part of a larger work: Il Cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione. For those that like the four seasons, you’ll probably like the rest.

      So many of the greatest violinists have recorded the four seasons it’s difficult to pick a favourite but for me it’s Federico Guglielmo. I usually prefer a clean style but the expression is excellent.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      I got this for dissolved girl (knock knock, neo) and the rest of it sounds different. It’s a good different. I was disappointed at first, but - unlike another hit/album mismatch finger eleven - I grew to really like the rest of it as a completely separate entity from the catalyst track that made me get it.

    Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness.

    It is not to my tastes anymore, but at the time when I was very swept up in it, it was truly an immersive and transformative experience. As a piece of art, I feel that it was a tremendous success.

      I learned a few years back that the original vinyl pressing of this had a completely different track order than the the CD version (and I think was three LPs). I changed the track order on my digital version to match this (without the extra tracks that are near impossible to find) and it works so much better (and I love the album). I’d love to get my hands on a copy but can’t find them for less than $300 if you’re lucky.

    Album I would listen to start to finish on any given day: Rubber Soul by the Beatles.

    Favorite overall album to listen to: Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins.

    Most important album: London Calling by The Clash

    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
