An idea from Laura over @ The Sarcasm: 15 Albums that affected me in some way…. Basically albums that made me glad to be alive when they were produced.
They are: (in no particular order)

Release – Afro Celt Sound System
Tidal – Fiona Apple
Garbage – Garbage
Eels – Beautiful Freak
Gorillaz – Gorillaz
Debut – Bjork
The Joshua Tree – U2
Jagged Little Pill – Alanis Morissette
Eyes Open – Snow Patrol
Fallen – Evanescence
Under My Skin – Avril Lavigne
Infest – Papa Roach
Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd
Eye to the Telescope – K T Tunstall
Hey! Another Eels fan! I think that makes 5 of us now. ;) Good list. Gorillaz are great too!
ReplyDeleteI have 8 of those :-) Plus Demon Days from Gorillaz.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea for a future post now, although I'll wait a few days to led the idea grow ... (translation - it'll take a few days for me to figure out which albums to put in!)
Eels are great. I've liked them since I saw their video on MTV - the one where they float about in an ally...
ReplyDeleteI actually had about 20 or so I could have listed but thought I needed to stop @ 15 [grin]
This list reminds me that I have no idea how old you are.
ReplyDeleteCare to guess Scott?
ReplyDeleteIs the list age 'confused'?
I wouldn't call it age confused, only that for some reason I had always assumed you were older than me (maybe mid-thirties?) and your list is mostly very recent. Or more recent than I would expect from somebody older than me.
ReplyDeleteI have (very) wide tastes in music. I enjoy Beethoven as well as Bon Jovi, Mozart as well as Mariyln Manson. But as you know my favourite period for music is the 1980's.
ReplyDelete...and yes, I am somewhat older than you.
My wife's favorite music comes from the 80's as well. She's the only person I know who can say she's been to a "Boy George" concert.
ReplyDeletePlease try MUSE. My wife discovered them on Jools Holland and I enjoy them a great deal as well.
"But as you know my favourite period for music is the 1980's."
ReplyDeleteWell yes, I had believed this about you, and this is one of the reasons I thought you were older. However, only one of your albums is from the 80's, soooo......

ReplyDeleteI'm more of an 80's singles person - hence I have lots of compilations and best of's from the era. If I did a list of singles that rocked my world I'd think that a good 60+% would be from the 80's (or even the later 70's when punk hit the music scene over here.
I've listened to 8 of those. I recommended KT Tunstall to you when it came out. Can't remember if you'd heard it already or not since she hit on your side of the pond before she came here.
ReplyDeleteI've got it!
ReplyDeleteCyberkitten is actually an immortal time-god from the Eterna Dimension of infinite loopage!!!!
yes?

ReplyDeleteI remember. I think I bought the CD on your recommendation. Thanks!

Unfortunately not - as much as I'd *like* to be immortal.... [grin]
