Post only perfect albums - 10/10 - All killer, no filler - No fat on the bone I’ll start: Foo Fighters - S/T Considering it’s 1 guy and the timing of the recordings, it’s an absolutely insane achievement and not one song in this is a miss. https://music.apple.com/us/album/foo-fighters/258512042
Also what else at the time even sounded a little like this? It’s so unique. Still sounds buzzy and raw in all the right places. Weird harmonies and octave changes and just all out bangers. Love it.
They Might Be Giants - Flood Might be 33 years old but I still can't put on one track without listening to the entire thing. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kihfLkWB3D6IZqbxYguWIzvRa1zcBmR0Y&si=rT3RB8sCM2KawbrA
Couldn’t do just one … Weezer - Blue Album Weezer - Pinkerton Interpol - Antics Wilco - A Ghost Is Born Cake - Fashion Nugget
Imminent Awaking is the most integrated ambient album I’ve encountered so far. https://open.spotify.com/album/6vNBTjFKbtDGmn7sVuEkcz?si=mSgfnbxWSkaYe1rWUATN1A
Thought The Killers were overrated with Mr. Brightside, but this album made me 180 so hard 😅 https://open.spotify.com/album/4o3RJndRhHxkieQzQGhmbw
If I could take only one album to a desert island, I would choose Hybrid Theory. https://open.spotify.com/album/6PFPjumGRpZnBzqnDci6qJ?si=6ddJyyz-TsSCOvhuOxGNLg
The Low End Theory is also impeccable https://open.spotify.com/album/4v5x3Oo3UjQ9YmF3hRAip5?si=mzNqkSxsRYWGzCTgjnzqJA

Exile on main street. The angry young them. Stones uk debut album on Decca. Allman Bros fillmore east. Kind of blue. I’m sure Dylan has a few but it would take a while to sort out. Dire straits debut. Tres hombres. The best of muddy waters (1958).
I’ll add a few more to this today, but for now adding the album that STILL hypes me up and gets me so focused Comeback Kid - Wake The Dead Started out as basically an H20 tribute band and then in the span of 1 album created a template for modern hardcore https://music.apple.com/us/album/wake-the-dead/1558581757
Pedro the Lion, Control Portrait of a middle American marriage choked with consumerism and sex and ending in murder. https://youtu.be/QEm1gQGz-ZY?si=x007ukfh-HR6CO8X Bazan is a modern-day Dylan.

• Living With The Law - Chris Whitley Died way too young but all of his albums are great. • Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Aphex Twin While the sequel to this album has two of my all-time favorite tracks (Lichen and Rhubarb) this one is great from start to finish.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless 90's were filled with revolutionary sounds... If you are into shoegaze or maybe some more "noisy rock", take it! This song might sound familiar because it was featured in Lost In Translation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSI_9P9rRt4&pp=ygUdc29tZXRpbWVzIG15IGJsb29keSB2YWxlbnRpbmU%3D
