I’m late to the party but couldn’t miss putting Daily Bread’s album Invisible Cinema in the thread

I agree with a lot of what people have already mentioned, so I’ll add a few I haven’t seen yet

• Turnstile - Step 2 Rhythm
• Signs of the Swarm - The Disfigurement of Existence
• Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
• Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
• Meshuggah - Obzen
• Panic at the Disco - Pretty Odd
• Fall Out Boy - Take This to Your Grave
• Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated
• Oso Oso - Sore Thumb
• Polyphia - New Levels New Devils

• The Foo Fighters - The Foo Fighters
• The Foo Fighters - The Color & The Shape
• 65daysofstatic - Wild Light
• Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones
• The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving

There isn’t a note I’d change on any of those albums.

i listen to a lot of songs from albums that have a lot of filler on them, but the one i always listen to straight through is born to run. thunder road is how every album should start, every side flip should be rewarded with born to run, and every album should end with jungleland.

throw-in: the sound of three fans clapping to welcome thunder road was also the perfect way to start the live set.

Ok, now that more people have posted long lists, I don’t feel so bad about mine ;)

• Arcade Fire – Funeral
• Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
• At The Drive-In – Relationship of Command (also their EPs Vaya and In/Casino/Out)
• Kae Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
• Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs
• My Morning Jacket – Z
• Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley
• Radiohead – OK Computer
• Radiohead – In Rainbows
• The Decemberists – Picaresque
• The Diggs – Commute
• The Dismemberment Plan – Emergency & I
• The Libertines – s/t
• The Mars Volta – Deloused in the Comatorium
• The Notwist – Shrink
• Tokyo Police Club – A Lesson in Crime (just a fantastic debut; barely an album though)

German:

• Deichkind – Niveau Weshalb Warum

Some may be an acquired taste (PSB?, also I know that The Libertines’ is not everyone’s favorite – but it’s mine :). The Arcade Fire, even though I don’t listen to them these days that much, is decade-defining for me, as is Radiohead’s OK Computer (together with Nevermind, although for some reason it didn’t make this list).

Blackwater Park - Opeth

deleted by creator

“Gorillaz - Demon Days” It is like a story unfolding, where they really have fun with the music, and effortlessly meld through different genres.

A few I can think of right now:

AC/DC - If You Want Blood (maybe cheating a bit because it’s a compilation of songs from different albums, but it’s the best live album of all time to me and AC/DC at their rockingest.)

All Them Witches - Dying Surfer Meets His Maker or Nothing A The Ideal (both albums warrant a full playthrough almost always.)

Elephant Tree - Elephant Tree (my favorite album of the last decade)

Elder - Dead Roots Stirring (although Elder keep getting better and better, and are ever more amazing live, this album has a special place in my heart)

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (masterpiece from beginning to end.)

No love for QOTSA? At least 3 spectacular albums, in no particular order:

Like Clockwork, Songs for the Deaf, Villains (contentious, I know, but I love it)
