..but with some explanation and not on facebag.
Never an easy task coming up with a list such as this but hells yeh I’m going to try. Some cheating in that golden year of music, 2005 and the years around that era, and as always, this list will be in chronological order.
1993.
’Siamese Dream’
Smashing Pumpkins
Timeless hooks and the perfect soundtrack to my angsty teenage years, somehow tinged with bubble gum.
1994.
‘Grace’
Jeff Buckley
You gave me more to live for, more than you’ll ever know.
1996.
’No Code’
Pearl Jam
Eddie and band went from great to transcendental with the release of their 4th studio album. No wonder The Last Dance chose to end with a track from ‘No Code’. Still got it. Still got it.
2001.
’Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’
Wilco
Tweedy at the absolute height of his powers with exotic layered melodies and how is it possible that it gets better every year?
2004.
’Funeral’
Arcade Fire
It quite literally changed everything.
The 2005 Bloc.
‘Silent Alarm’ | Bloc Party
’Black Sheep Boy’ | Okkervil River
’Gimme Fiction’ | Spoon
’Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’ | self-titled
’Twin Cinema’ | The New Pornographers
’Apologies to the Queen Mary’ | Wolf Parade
2007.
’Shut Up I Am Dreaming’
Sunset Rubdown
Be careful what you wish for.
2007.
’Mirrored’
Battles
Rhythm and maths.
2007.
’Boxer’
The National
Tired and wired, we ruin too easy.
2007.
’Sound of Silver’
LCD Soundsystem
Did music stop 13 years ago? It certainly appears so.
