What Is Everyone's Personal Top 4 Albums? (lyrics, funk, metal, pop)

Tyler Durden · 10-02-2008, 11:33 AM

I'm not talking about classics I'm talking about albums that you could listen to over and over and over again without getting tired of them.

4. Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

3. Elliott Smith- S/T

2. The Beatles- Rubber Soul

1. The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds

What are yours?

Pixies- "Doolittle

Neutral Milk Hotel- "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea

The Beach Boys- "Pet Sounds"

My Bloody Valentine- "Loveless"

A VERY close #5 would be, "We're Only In it For the Money"

Loveless would of been my #5!

My favorite album ever switches weekly, but those are four of the only albums I own that Ive never gotten sick of. Ive listened to Loveless and Pet Sounds over 100 times each, and somehow they never tire, which is saying something, since I tend to get sick of things really quick.

To me it is. With stripes albums its about a songs distance one way or another between albums. If you liked Elephant, you'll like Icky. If you liked White Blood Cells, maybe you won't.

thats actually the song that made me buy the album. What you begin to discover is while that song never really looses any luster, other songs tend to get better every listen. Tracks 7 & 8; "Excuse You" and "Vulture Shark Sculpture Park" (respectivly) are some of the best things on the disc.

The latter has one of the best Flute Loops since the Beastie Boys "sure shot" and the assanines are kind of awesome.

With regard to "excuse you," that song sets such a mood that its nearly inmpossible of being disliked.

The songs actually share a rhyme, which I found entertaining because he has them back to back and clearly did so intentnionally, but the line is something like "a very goth towel, a terry cloth cowl, "he said 'I, hairy moth owl.'"

It likely looks stupid, but to hear it in context is nothing short of amazing.
