durmij Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sorry for no full album link but I'm on my phone and YouTube hates Canada. https://youtu.be/BDtk07Eiyak DJ Shadow's Entroducing. This thing is legendary. So varied and the flows are flawless. Everytime you listen you pick up on something else. Shadow is so unique in his production and you can tell this is a labour of love. Just finished reading 33 1/3 booklet in the album and have a vinyl copy in transit.

James XVI Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I had a look through my files. These are the ones I have given highest rating of: Rush - Permanent Waves (Click) Rush - Moving Pictures (Click)- this along with Kate Bush's The Dreaming were probably the first albums I listened to, on my dad's (well kept) records. Rush - Power Windows (Click) ^Every second of the above albums are just perfect, coupled with some excellent lyrics, they're just perfect. Spock's Beard - Snow (Click) - I just like Neal Morse - his style, and choices for lyrics. Spock's Beard - The Light (Click) - May not be the best album, but there isn't a fault with any of the pieces on there. Blowzabella - Vanilla (Click) - I am a folk musician, and did grow up learning and listening to quite a bit of folk music. Out of those, I can't decide 3 Quote THE Definitive James: KastorCultist, Co-leading Roz Wei Empyrea The Wei, former TGH warrior, Assassin, and a few more.

Mike Haggar Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Those Rush albums are pretty epic. If I had to pick one album, it'd probably be Tool's Lateralus. While you could deride it as angsty, I think it's different than a lot of the more poppy grunge bands that explored the themes before it. All of the songs are complex without being ostentatious about it. It's more about learning to accept the human condition, where we deeply desire connection but really are just locked alone inside our own heads no matter what we do. Listening is pretty much a trip without the police knocking on your door. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classics! The Cure's Pornography and Disintegration are pretty well done. 2 Quote Beer. Damn Good Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durmij Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) What do you mean by "Perfect?" Well actual perfection is impossible because this is all subjective, so i mean albums you can't imagine your life without. Albums you are always down to listen too. Those Rush albums are pretty epic. If I had to pick one album, it'd probably be Tool's Lateralus. While you could deride it as angsty, I think it's different than a lot of the more poppy grunge bands that explored the themes before it. All of the songs are complex without being ostentatious about it. It's more about learning to accept the human condition, where we deeply desire connection but really are just locked alone inside our own heads no matter what we do. Listening is pretty much a trip without the police knocking on your door. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralus TOOL gets a bad rap for some reason. Something about pretentiousness usually, but I think they're amazing. JMK's project Puscifer is also amazing. Brings me to this King Crimson's In The Court of the Crimson King So influential, so grand. My father introduced me to this album about 12 years ago and I listen to it at least once a month. Almost everyone has covered 21st Century Schizoid MAn at some point, but Epitaph is my personal favourite.

My father introduced me to this album about 12 years ago and I listen to it at least once a month. Almost everyone has covered 21st Century Schizoid MAn at some point, but Epitaph is my personal favourite. ADHD kids don't like Tool because they have long and non-moshable songs. Not great for radio or the clubs. Wonderful for long drives late at night with tail-lights dancing in the distance. While I enjoyed Nirvana and the rest of the grungies, Kurt Kobain wanted to move his music back to less poppy territory, and it's doubtful he considered his own work a success at that point. I wish he had gotten out of the big music scene and just played non-industry stuff on his own, but alas he took that option away. He could've gone the way of Devo, his heroes, King Crimson pushed the boundaries back in their day, and it's always refreshing to listen to music that wasn't specially-designed to fit in between DJ pratter. There was a time when I needed the excitement, but I've got enough of that now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I prefer their Enema of State album better. The song writing and production is superior on that album (so was the budget), but the earlier albums are more 'real' for want of a better word. They were written because that is what they wanted to write, not because a record executive told them too. The real blink spirit died after dude ranch.
