Favorite Album; with a caveat -

[Walker11]

I'll out myself as a hipster and throw out some of my favorite albums that have been been in the rotation for years.
Boxer - The National
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Tycho - Drive
Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds of Country Music

 

[TRest]

Dumptruck-For the Country

 

[Excalibur]

Makes me think of Counting Crows, August and Everything After. I remember a friend gave me a heads up right around the time "Mr. Jones" was released and they were playing at Toad's. Great show, and the album was a fixture for years thereafter. Still holds up incredibly well. Great album--one of the best debut albums of all time imo.

This would be my answer. Great album all the way through. Anna Begins and Omaha are incredibly well written songs that never saw commercial success.

“Rain King” popped up on my running playlist this morning, second song during the run. Perfect spot for it to put a little more kick in my step.

That Stone Roses album is magnificent. A shame they never got bigger. Big fan of a lot of those Madchester bands.

Broken Social Scene is another great band. And they’re still putting out good stuff.

A few more:

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

Disclosure - Settle

Grimes - Art Angels

Tame Impala - Currents

Grimes - Art Angels

For a long time I turned up my nose at electronica/synth pop. I finally got over my biases toward it and now very much enjoy a handful of bands/musicians in that genre. Agree, that is a really good record.

Yea it’s not much of a leap for me. I grew up on groups like Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk and so many other much more obscure techno acts. I’m glad to see elements of that style of music infiltrating more mainstream music genres. I have fond memories of staying up late Saturday nights as a teenager to watch Amp on MTV just to catch some new acts. Good times.
