Perfect Albums

[[size/HUGE] fixed [/size]]

Also, two of the most under-appreciated albums of all time were put out by Talk Talk. Yes, that band. Their last two albums are titled SPIRIT OF EDEN and LAUGHING STOCK. They are ****ing amazing. Considered the first post-rock albums. So many layers... you can listen to them for years and hear new things all the time.

I'd say that's probably my favorite category of rock.

What other bands are you into?

Action? Faust? Neu!?

Spirit of Eden is so absolutely ****ing good. I learned about this album from a friend who usually has pretty poor taste. That album makes me happy.

It's great that you've heard that Talk Talk album. When I first heard it, I was stoned, and decided to burn a bunch of copies and go out on the streets to hand them out. It was all in absolute celebration of what I'd heard. People thought I was crazy, but they smiled and took the CD.

I like all those bands you mentioned. I know they aren't krautrock (they're Euro prog rock), but I've been listening to Babe Ruth recently. Pretty great.

EDIT: I shortened Krautrock and it was edited by teh profanity filter. WTF

OutKast - ATLiens (not sure if yet mentioned).
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Takuya Kuroda - Rising Son
Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of LH
Steely Dan - Aja

definitely loads more out there IMO. I don't really have that high of a standard for 'perfect' tho.

Good to know.

I'm gonna go re-read the thread about perfect outfits. Should be entertaining.

Mormons do have insanely good taste. It's a West Coast thing too. If I just listed the groups I liked, 80% of them are from the the Los Angeles area. Well, 3 out 4 of those already mentioned are too I guess.

Best thing that ever happened to my ears was getting my CD case that was full of rap Cds stolen. I don't like any of it anymore outside of Run DMC.

That's pretty funny stuff. It is an incredible album.

I don't do favorites usually but Debris - Static Disposal essentially blew my mind away when I first heard it. It was almost like a musical head injury where no other music could live up to the greatness that is that album.

Something about the late 1970's in this country. Some incredibly ****ing music was being put out. Devo, Pere Ubu, Debris, Rockets From The Tomb, etc.

 

[The Thriller]

Here ya go

Tesla- Tesla
AC/DC- Back in Black
ZZ Top- La Futura
Van Halen- Best of both Worlds
Michael Jackson- Thriller
Blink 182- ***** of the State
50 cent- Get rich or Die Tryin
Jay Sean- All or Nothin
Backstreet Boys- Backstreet Boys
Mariah Carey- Daydream (listen to this and you'll instantly be transported to mid 90s, back when Detlef Shrimpf was knocking down 3s all over the place!)

And honestly, one of the most iconic albums of the 90s: Boyz II Men- II

I can't believe no one here has mentioned Boyz II Men. Probably top 3 groups of all time for me. Such a unique sound that triggered the whole boy band surge of the 90s. II is pretty amazing but their Legacy has every song worth listening in this history of mankind.

Edit: just saw post 155. Someone did mention boys 2 men.

Never made a thread about "perfect outfits".

Try again.

FWIW I've listened to a couple of the krautrock albums mentioned. I've never been a particular fan. A good friend of mine is a massive Talk Talk fan.

Robert Glasper Experiment - Black Radio
OutKaat - not just ATLiens-- throw their 3rd and 4th albums in there
ATCQ - Low End Theory
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Common - LWFC
Fugees - The Score

 

[fishonjazz]

Don't know if I already mentioned it but NOFX, I Heard They Suck Live is a perfect album

Two albums I would add: Drive-By Truckers' "The Dirty South" and Jason Isbell's "Southeastern". If you like "Americana" or country tinged rock, check these out, if you haven't already.
