Essential Albums
Simple premise. What do you think are essential albums that everyone should listen to, ones with near perfect tracklists, that you can listen to over and over again? No specific orders, no set limits, just post albums you personally think others should check out.
Here's my list: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, by Wilco Back in Black, by AC/DC Illinois, by Sufjan Stevens Dead Man's Party, by Oingo Boingo Gorillaz, by Gorillaz London Calling, by The Clash Madvillainy, by Madvillain Rush of Blood to the Head, by Coldplay Stop Making Sense, by Talking Heads I will probably think of more, when I get home, to

Since I Left You - The Avalanches
You Forgot It In People - Broken Social Scene Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen (Although I think Born in the U.S.A. might be the better album, I think the age range of the forum means Born to Run hits closer to home) Hell Hath No Fury - Clipse Discovery - Daft Punk The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place - Explosions in the Sky The Soft Bulletin - The Flaming Lips College Dropout - Kanye West Black on Both Sides - Mos Def Takk - Sigur Rós

I was gonna say London Calling, but you beat me to it.
I suppose I could come up with more though. Atleast one. Riot on an Empty Street - Kings of Convenience

I think Give Em Enough Rope is a lot more essential than London Calling.
Oh, and Blood on the Tracks. Sgt. Pepper's too. And Animals.

For metalcore types...
Nocturne - The Human Abstract Self-Titled - Killswitch Engage Alive or Just Breathing - Killswitch Engage Some stuff just as mainstream, but in my opinoin has probably the best album set up in terms of song progression ever: One-X - Three Days Grace More to come as I think of them, but I'll probably forget abotu this post and never bother with it again. |

In Absentia - Porcupine Tree
It just has the perfect blend of hard riffs, soothing vocals and thought provoking lyrics. I can never get tired of listening to it, and I listen to it a lot. Also: Volume II - Hurt. Almost for the same reasons.

Hurt - Volume I (maybe II also) There are some albums that I feel you have to listen to with headphones on to get the full affect of it: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Herea Hurt with headphones only adds to the awesomeness.
