oh fuuuuuuuuuuuck. been a long time since I was heavy into Floyd... was surprised to see people in this thread picking it over dark side, completely forgot shine on was off it... one of the greatest songs of all time easily
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.
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.
I just read about this. It's related to the amount of bass a song has, and heavy songs tend to play better on the outside of a record, than closer inside. The needle can actually skip.
So modest mouse is my favorite band. The first song I heard was Alone Down There on a skate video. I loved it, but it was uncredited. So for a year I didn't know who made this amazing music. Then I started dating a girl who was into a bunch of indie shit I had never heard, and The Moon and Antarctica had come out that year. It is also indelibly etched into my soul. The first song she played for me was Wild Pack of Family Dogs, which I loved. Then I heard the song from the skate video again and everything clicked.
My favorite album though is The Lonesome Crowded West.
I'm drawn in by the authenticity of their early music, the pure emotion, and the sometimes enigmatic lyrics. Being a punk kid when I heard them, I was attracted to Isaac Brock's raw vocals even though the music was in general much less aggressive than what I was typically listening to then.
These days I mostly listen to hiphop so it's been a journey. Modest mouse is still my favorite. They represent a time in my life when I was first learning to be my authentic self.
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.
Had to scroll too far for a Rage album 🫡 it's funny how New Millennium Homes is still so fucking relevant (I mean they all are but I fkn love that song).
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.
Everyone I’ve talked to seems to gravitate to Doolittle or Come On Pilgrim as a favorite Pixies record, or the album that defines their vibe. But for me this album was my entry point not just for them, but to a bigger musical world and I’m forever grateful for that.
Holy shit I must have listened to this album about 1000 times when I was a teenager in the late 90s. Huge influence on me and also on post hardcore as a genre.
I was super into Deftones when i was 15 to 17 or so. I barely listened to it after turning 19, for no particular reason. At 38, i saw that the deftones poster was still in my childhood room and listened to it while renovating my basement. It's still good, but it hits so different. It's hard to explain, back then it was the pinnacle of music and lyrical expression. At almost 40 i looked at is as a edgy boyband or somethimg. Not in a negative way in any shape or form, but it's interenting to me how things change. And holy shit time flies
Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.
In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.
I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.
My favourite changes constantly, but right now it’s Masks Off by Jesse Welles. I’ve said it several times here before but Lemmy would really like his lyrics and more folks here need to check him out.
Yes maybe the first one is musically better, but this one helped me in my life when i was a young man not understanding what i am going through, it kinda relate more to me.
Yeah, that’s fair. Be Yourself will always be one of my favourite songs, same with Doesn’t Remind Me.
I’ve only ever heard good things about Chris, I’d like to think he was a good person. Same with Layne. And Kurt too, actually. I’m starting to notice a pattern here…
I've got it on vinyl and this is definitely the way to hear it. Not because of quality but because it has to be heard in one go, not as separate songs.
I've heard it many times throughout the years and I still find new meanings to the songs depending on where I am in my own life.
I choose to interpret this question as: "what album has been your favorite for the longest part of your life?" This was the first album I liked when I was a lil' kid even tho I didn't really understand what they were singing about. It's still a great listen, every song rocks, and some songs (like "Eruption") are legendary.
Well, technically its a double album: Yellow & Green. And I would say Green is a close second.
Something about it just blew my mind. Like, I had heard Baroness before, stuff from Red and Blue. They had a song or two on the early Guitar Hero games. I just thought "oh another okay metal band, whatever". Yellow and Green were just... Different. The tone, the vocal style. The whole approach to writing ans playing guitars was different than what i was used to. Thr production has this kind of modern dirtiness, like the noise came from radiation or something. The lyrics are absolutely battling, as they were translated across multiple languages and the meaning was only clinging to them by a thread. The album art is incredible too. The bass is perfect, never too much or too little. The drums use disco and other dance beats along side this metal-ish music in a fantastic way.
It kind of felt it cane fron another dimension. A different timeline where English and western music evolved similarly to ours, but jjsy different enough to be uncanny.
ohh it's an insanely difficult question since I've gone through so many music phases and now listen to almost all of them
the album I've played the most and has had the most influence on me is probably The Shamen - Axis Mutatis, The Shamen had a few big hits off their first album, this second album was more experimental and I don't think it hit as well with the party crowd, but to me it has some excellent lyrics, melodies, sound design.
Close second is Skinny Puppy - Mind The Perpetual Intercourse
I don't normally do superlatives, so my answer could change at any time soonish, really. That said, if I'd point to one album that I've reliably enjoyed a lot for quite a while, I'd say:
Ooh yes amazing album and amazing group? project? Not sure what to call ayreon lol. Though from their discography I think I'd personally lean towards 01011001.
01011001 is a close second imo. But ITEC gets me into the mood for some hobby stuff more effectively, so that one gets the win right now.
I guess project might as well be the best description of Ayreon. The only stable participant is the fact it's all written by the same guy, Sir Arjen Anthony Lucassen
The quintessential goth metal album. Their layers of sound, Pete’s incredible ability to make the most sardonic lyrics sound romantic and the bands utter control of melodic harmony make it an album that I have listened to an innumerable amount of times since its release.
There really is something special here than no band since has captured on tape. It came out when I was a sophomore and immediately became something that I knew would be with me my entire life.
This album bleeds sensuality with a not so subtle wink and nod to the ridiculousness of the human condition in a way few, if any before or after it ever have. It is equal parts sexy and hilarious. Type O was a band whose depth was often missed by the outlandish nature of who their frontman Peter Steele was. A man capable of being a sulking giant with a broken heart one second and a sexy rock and roll god doing a centerfold photoshoot for Playgirl the next.
I never stopped loving this band for that perfect mixture of mischief, tongue in cheek self awareness and Gen X melancholy they brought to everything they did. There are great albums by them before this one and great ones after. But October Rust stands as a truly unique album without peer in my heart for all time.
This is a pure slab of American Black Metal by way of a multi-instrumentalist that grew up on 90’s alternative, particularly Tool. It bridges the gap between two eras of metal so effortlessly it boggles the mind at times. Erik Wunder played all the instruments and was the primary songwriter on this album and it is so complete in a way that can only be achieved through that singular of a vision. It’s like a dark mirror version of the first Foo Fighters record in a myriad of ways. He sadly passed away last year and was only able to perform these song live a few times in the decade and half since its release. I was lucky enough to catch two of those performances and they were as beautiful as I had hoped.
His passing hit like a brick as I was able to talk quite a bit with him on Facebook in during the early years of the band and spend some time in person when they played near me. He was always very gracious and intelligent in person. He had that specific blend of honesty and intelligence that separates the good from the great in music. I often wonder what could have become of the band if he had been able to find more stable vocalists and the ability to create while sober. It’s a real bummer we will never know.
This is one of those albums that came at exactly the right time in my life to become an encapsulation of moments of darkness and hope being perfectly intertwined. It gave me a place to put my sadness, my longing, my fears and my dreams while I sorted out who I would be for the second half of life on this planet.
There are moments of spite that feel so real you can almost feel the tension in the rooms that inspired it. Then there are moments of such soulful beauty and longing you can’t help but get lost in thoughts of heartbreak right along with the band.
I truly believe Josh Homme wrote his opus here. It’s the perfect Queens album and, in my opinion, the greatest rock and roll album of all time.
October Rust is SUCH a good album. Type O w/ Peter Steele (is there Type O without?..) was really something special. Love You to Death & Wolf Moon for me from that album. Unreal stuff.
I was listening to Cobalt today! Gin. I didn't know he died. That sucks. I like the double album he did after Gin, too, but I don't come back to it nearly as often as Gin.)
I don't have a favourite album of all time, but I do have favourites for certain genres/vibes.
For just putting on as some music in the background it's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin
For metal, it's Behemoth, either The Satanist or I Loved You at Your Darkest.
For electronic music, Biceps Isles is great, and when I used to run, it's great exercise music. But in that same vein Palaces by Flume is also excellent.
For down tempo vibes it's gotta be Mezzanine by Massive Attack, although Music has the right to Children by Boards of Canada is a very close second. And fuck actually Dummy by Portishead
For more classic easy listening vibes, Chicago 2 by Chicago.
For something I think anybody can enjoy, it's plastic beach by Gorillaz. It's their best album by far and I love a concept album.
When I want to hear BEAUTIFUL music that also goes hard, it's John Hopkins immunity. I had the title track play at my wedding and it captured the vibe perfectly.
90's Canadian rock, with "Shortcut to Moncton" as my favourite track, and "One More Astronaut" as the album's biggest single. I listened to this one end to end so many times, and there's not a bad song on it, my fave just in terms of number of listens. It's aged okay. I don't replay it obsessively like I did in my late teens
Raw Data Feel by Everything Everything! I drove from Seattle to San Diego one time and I listened to that album at least 10 times on the drive. So good.
"Who will survive and what will be left of them?" by Murder By Death
It's a cohesive concept album with a really kick ass Western story about the devil taking over a small Western town. Cowboys and zombies and demons and holy shit it's just so fucking cool. I think it was written as a theological thesis.
"Pink Lemonade" by Closure in Moscow. Every track is an absolute fucking banger. The technical musicianship and brilliant use of genre and style are seriously like nothing else I've ever heard.
Runnerups for me in no particular order: Justamustache - Thunder Birds are Now! Bleeds - Wednesday, there goes the neighborhood - kid kapichi, the software slump - grandaddy
I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.
So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:
Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition
I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.
My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album
My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami
Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.
Rush - Grace Under Pressure (Moving Pictures is fantastic and the cliche choice, but there's something about this one I love.)
The Knife - Silent Shout (Some reviewer called it "Haunted House" and that is the perfect descriptor. Eerie and intriguing electronic music.)
The For Carnation - The For Carnation (What became of Slint after Spiderland. This one doesn't get anywhere near as much recognition, but I think it's the more mature work overall. Groovy, minimalist post-rock.)
The Delgados - The Great Eastern (Hard to choose between their albums, too, but I think this one was a perfect straddling of their rockier bits and their symphonic dreampop that they leaned hard into later on. Great band!)
R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant (This one or its followup: Document which won them more accolades, but I think is slightly less consistent. Their peak-songwriting, IMO.)
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children (I know a lot of people love everything they've done, but I think they've never really topped the atmosphere of this one.)
Cocteau Twins - Treasure (At the time there was nothing else like it. There still isn't quite.)
The Afghan Whigs - 1965 (One of their less-popular albums, but I think Dulli and co nailed the RnB rock formula with this one. Their newer stuff is also pretty great.)
Basement Jaxx - Rooty (I'm torn between this and Kish Kash. Rooty is maybe slightly more consistent. Wall-to-wall banging big beat pop tunes. Fantastic production.)
Vektor - Terminal Redux (I went through a metal phase for some years, and this one still stands out. Amazing thrash-prog with a vocalist who sounds like a banshee from outer space. Amazing stuff!)
Skeletonwitch - Devouring Radiant Light (Gonna catch hell for this one. They were a very popular thrash band, then they fired their singer and went black metal. It was an unpopular decision with most of their fans. I think they knocked it out of the park. They haven't made an album since, though..)
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot - The Son of Chico Dusty (The [somewhat] underrated member of Outkast. This album goes hard. Lots of interesting collabs, too.)
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (Peak alt-hip-hop IMO. RIP Gift of Gab)
Glenn Gould's recording of the Goldberg Variations.
The one that has pictures of my love ones both those with me and those I only have memories left. Its white and has gold trim bought it in a KMart in late 80s and its been with me for so many moves. It was one of the few things left behind when my house got robbed. So I thank them for that.
nin has a huge catalog but this one had some special magic. i remember reading that Trent wrote and recorded it on a tour bus. you can hear little slip ups sometimes where he starts singing a beat early then caught himself. he left it in. it's raw and angry and sad and damning and hopeless all at once.
the lyrics are very much of their time, but becoming more and more relevant as we sink deeper into late-stage capitalism.
It's the one concert that I wish I had been born early enough to attend, but alas I was only five years old at the time. When the album came out in 2007 was when I became a Queen fan.

Oof that’s a hard one. One of the below:
Jimmy Eat World ‘Clarity’
Mineral ‘The Power Of Failing’
Neutral Milk Hotel ‘In The Aeroplane Over The Sea’
The Decemberists ‘Picaresque’
deacon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 61d
Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.
In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.
I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.

Hey if you like that, well I can't really explain why this album is similar, but try "England Keep my Bones" by Frank Turner.

I've got it on vinyl and this is definitely the way to hear it. Not because of quality but because it has to be heard in one go, not as separate songs.

I choose to interpret this question as: "what album has been your favorite for the longest part of your life?"

It's still a great listen, every song rocks, and some songs (like "Eruption") are legendary.

Yellow by Baroness.
Well, technically its a double album: Yellow & Green. And I would say Green is a close second.
Something about it just blew my mind. Like, I had heard Baroness before, stuff from Red and Blue. They had a song or two on the early Guitar Hero games. I just thought "oh another okay metal band, whatever". Yellow and Green were just... Different. The tone, the vocal style. The whole approach to writing ans playing guitars was different than what i was used to. Thr production has this kind of modern dirtiness, like the noise came from radiation or something. The lyrics are absolutely battling, as they were translated across multiple languages and the meaning was only clinging to them by a thread. The album art is incredible too. The bass is perfect, never too much or too little. The drums use disco and other dance beats along side this metal-ish music in a fantastic way.
It kind of felt it cane fron another dimension. A different timeline where English and western music evolved similarly to ours, but jjsy different enough to be uncanny.

ohh it's an insanely difficult question since I've gone through so many music phases and now listen to almost all of them
the album I've played the most and has had the most influence on me is probably The Shamen - Axis Mutatis, The Shamen had a few big hits off their first album, this second album was more experimental and I don't think it hit as well with the party crowd, but to me it has some excellent lyrics, melodies, sound design.
Close second is Skinny Puppy - Mind The Perpetual Intercourse

I don't normally do superlatives, so my answer could change at any time soonish, really. That said, if I'd point to one album that I've reliably enjoyed a lot for quite a while, I'd say:
Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle
Wikipedia, Bandcamp (original), Bandcamp (20th anniversary remaster), and they're on Spot & YT as well.
Ghoelian@piefed.social · 3 pts · 61d
Ooh yes amazing album and amazing group? project? Not sure what to call ayreon lol. Though from their discography I think I'd personally lean towards 01011001.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 61d
01011001 is a close second imo. But ITEC gets me into the mood for some hobby stuff more effectively, so that one gets the win right now.
I guess project might as well be the best description of Ayreon. The only stable participant is the fact it's all written by the same guy, Sir Arjen Anthony Lucassen
gajahmada@awful.systems · 4 pts · 61d
Scurrilous by Protest the Hero
It's their turning point, the last album with og line-up. Rody (vocal) taking charge of the lyrics. Simple drum (set up), insane riff, varied theme.
From the futility of suicide, cancer, to record label greed.
I mean I like their newer material even more, but this one special to me.

October Rust - Type O Negative.
The quintessential goth metal album. Their layers of sound, Pete’s incredible ability to make the most sardonic lyrics sound romantic and the bands utter control of melodic harmony make it an album that I have listened to an innumerable amount of times since its release. There really is something special here than no band since has captured on tape. It came out when I was a sophomore and immediately became something that I knew would be with me my entire life. This album bleeds sensuality with a not so subtle wink and nod to the ridiculousness of the human condition in a way few, if any before or after it ever have. It is equal parts sexy and hilarious. Type O was a band whose depth was often missed by the outlandish nature of who their frontman Peter Steele was. A man capable of being a sulking giant with a broken heart one second and a sexy rock and roll god doing a centerfold photoshoot for Playgirl the next.
I never stopped loving this band for that perfect mixture of mischief, tongue in cheek self awareness and Gen X melancholy they brought to everything they did. There are great albums by them before this one and great ones after. But October Rust stands as a truly unique album without peer in my heart for all time.
Moving forward a little,
Gin - Cobalt
This is a pure slab of American Black Metal by way of a multi-instrumentalist that grew up on 90’s alternative, particularly Tool. It bridges the gap between two eras of metal so effortlessly it boggles the mind at times. Erik Wunder played all the instruments and was the primary songwriter on this album and it is so complete in a way that can only be achieved through that singular of a vision. It’s like a dark mirror version of the first Foo Fighters record in a myriad of ways. He sadly passed away last year and was only able to perform these song live a few times in the decade and half since its release. I was lucky enough to catch two of those performances and they were as beautiful as I had hoped.
His passing hit like a brick as I was able to talk quite a bit with him on Facebook in during the early years of the band and spend some time in person when they played near me. He was always very gracious and intelligent in person. He had that specific blend of honesty and intelligence that separates the good from the great in music. I often wonder what could have become of the band if he had been able to find more stable vocalists and the ability to create while sober. It’s a real bummer we will never know.
Finally,
…Like Clockwork- Queens of the Stone Age
This is one of those albums that came at exactly the right time in my life to become an encapsulation of moments of darkness and hope being perfectly intertwined. It gave me a place to put my sadness, my longing, my fears and my dreams while I sorted out who I would be for the second half of life on this planet. There are moments of spite that feel so real you can almost feel the tension in the rooms that inspired it. Then there are moments of such soulful beauty and longing you can’t help but get lost in thoughts of heartbreak right along with the band. I truly believe Josh Homme wrote his opus here. It’s the perfect Queens album and, in my opinion, the greatest rock and roll album of all time.
BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 60d
October Rust is SUCH a good album. Type O w/ Peter Steele (is there Type O without?..) was really something special. Love You to Death & Wolf Moon for me from that album. Unreal stuff.

I don't have a favourite album of all time, but I do have favourites for certain genres/vibes.
For just putting on as some music in the background it's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin
For metal, it's Behemoth, either The Satanist or I Loved You at Your Darkest.
For electronic music, Biceps Isles is great, and when I used to run, it's great exercise music. But in that same vein Palaces by Flume is also excellent.
For down tempo vibes it's gotta be Mezzanine by Massive Attack, although Music has the right to Children by Boards of Canada is a very close second. And fuck actually Dummy by Portishead
For more classic easy listening vibes, Chicago 2 by Chicago.
For something I think anybody can enjoy, it's plastic beach by Gorillaz. It's their best album by far and I love a concept album.
When I want to hear BEAUTIFUL music that also goes hard, it's John Hopkins immunity. I had the title track play at my wedding and it captured the vibe perfectly.
So I guess no, I don't have a favourite album

"Who will survive and what will be left of them?" by Murder By Death
It's a cohesive concept album with a really kick ass Western story about the devil taking over a small Western town. Cowboys and zombies and demons and holy shit it's just so fucking cool. I think it was written as a theological thesis.
"Pink Lemonade" by Closure in Moscow. Every track is an absolute fucking banger. The technical musicianship and brilliant use of genre and style are seriously like nothing else I've ever heard.

What a delightfully impossible question.
I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.
So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:
Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition
I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.
My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album
My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami
Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.
