1 Dark Side of The Moon
Nobody really needs a reason to say "Why would you give him that?". As much as people can argue about opinion, rest assured in facts that were already mentioned; most significantly the top 200 for 14 years. That means people from different generations were still thinking "oh my god this is amazing" enough to keep it on a top selling album list for 14 god damn years straight. It doesnt hurt that its critically aclaimed as the greatest album of all time by just about every other source available. 2 Ludwig Van's Greatest Hits Compelation! Even if it was in our barbaric past, we produced music that was honestly more beautiful than anything that has come out since. There is something so true about music that follows patterns the likes only pure mathematics knows. Classical music isnt cluttered by words and their many definitions and interpretations. It isnt so focused on a single person and instrument. It just becomes like this living thing that goes around kicking ass and sounding like something that comes on when your going to heaven or hell or purgatory or growing back as a tree or becoming one with the universe (close your eyes and pick one). Oh ya, did I mention he did part of this while he was completly deaf. 3 Electric Ladyland Because this **** will literally melt your ****ing face... because thats exactly what it will sound like... because thats what he thought was happening... because thats how he plays... because he was on acid... because he was a ****ing alien! The Earth never knew such raw talent. Music is what ran through his blood and what came from his soul. He has a terrible voice and is still an awesome singer, not like that mattered though because his best voice came from the guitar... and every alien in this damn galaxy should know about Jimi. |

Enter the Wu-tang (36 chambers) - You need to be introduced to hip hop, and this is widely regarded as a touchstone of the genre. You can't do much better.
Electric Ladyland - In my opinion the pinnacle of rock n roll , Hendrix is the greatest artist of all time in my opinion and this is his magnum opus. Also, jgd's reasoning is pretty solid haha. Demon Days - It's a modern classic and basically crams as many styles into itself as possible, giving you a complete earthling experience. And at time it creates a pretty 'alien' soundscape.

Layla (And Other Assorted Love Songs) - Derek and the Dominos, because this album got me through some hard times. ERIC CLAPTON UNDERSTANDS GODDAMNIT! . Soothes the aching heart to have your situation sung about. /mushy.
Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits - Bob Dylan, because I love Bob for the same reason I love the Layla album, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for his way with words. One of the greatest lyricists of all time. Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones, the Stones are my favorite band of all time, and this is the first record I ever listened to by them. Stole it off my Dad's shelf and didn't give it back for 3 years until he found it in my room in the move. Anyone who forgets they own Let It Bleed doesn't deserve to have it :p. |
