Black Lips - Arabia Mountain
72

There's some super catcht and fun tracks on this thing, but unfortunately I can't say that about all of them. Still, if you wanna listen to some fun garage rock, look no further.

Fav Tracks: Family Tree, Modern Art, Bone Marrow, Noc-a-homa

Least Fav Track: Bicentennial Man

Suicide - Suicide
87

Who knew a record full of simple drum machines, looping synths, and uncomfortable vocals could possibly be one of the most essential records of all time? Despite it's simplicity, it's extremely enjoyable and something every music fan should listen to at least once.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You
55

RHCP manage to craft one of the most inspiringly mediocre albums in recent memory

Fav Tracks: Dance, Dance, Dance, Look Around, Police Station

Least Fav Track: Ethiopia

Panda Bear - Young Prayer
77

I like the part where there's a lot of pretty music

Favorite Track: The one with guitars

Least Favorite Track: The one with guitars

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
92

One of the most creative records of the decade. OPN's ability to splice up old commercials and turn them into some of the most haunting ambient music of the decade is truly inspiring. Bonus point for having an awesome album cover.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Garden of Delete
90

Dang. This record is one of the most face melting electronic records of the decade. OPN goes from haunting ambient bliss to quick and harsh noise in the snap of a finger. A true milestone in his discography.

Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician
79

Easily, one of the most fun yet unsettling albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. It's the kind of record that you show to your friends and they say,"what the hell is wrong with you?" and you just awkwardly laugh and shrug your shoulders.

82

An often overlooked EP that has some real punch to it. It's one of Slint's most brutal outputs, despite its short length. Give it a listen if all you've listened to is Spiderland.

Radiohead - In Rainbows
97

If you want to get into Radiohead, start here. It offers almost everything from their past records and executes them all amazingly well.

Favorite Tracks: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, All I Need, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, Videotape

Least Favorite Track: House of Cards

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak
81

If I could tell you why I liked this so much, I would. There's definitely "better" Kanye albums, but I just always find myself coming back to this one. Funny.

Favorite Tracks: Say You Will, Welcome to Heartbreak, Heartless, Love Lockdown, Robocop, Street Lights

Least Favorite Track: See You In My Nightmares (by a mile)

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
60

I wish I understood why people love this so much. However, Kanye still does pull off some incredible tracks on this thing.

Favorite Tracks: Power, All of the Lights, Monster, Lost In the World

Least Favorite Track: So Appalled (Shout out to the weird auto tuned part at the end of Runaway)

Black Dice - Beaches and Canyons
87

This album feels incredible.

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs
90

Lol idk, this record is just really fun to listen to.

Favorite Tracks: Leaf House, Who Could Win a Rabbit, Winters Love, Visiting Friends, We Tigers

Least Favorite Track: The Softest Voice

Animal Collective - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished
88

Ya know, right when I heard the first screeches of Spirit They've Vanished, I thought I was gonna hate this record. After pushing through and getting to purely golden tracks like Chocolate Girl, La Rapet, and Bat You'll Fly, the sometimes harsh noises of this record became much more tolerable.

Animal Collective - Feels
99

I don't think I've listened a more rewarding record than this. Every time I put this thing on, I love it more.

Favorite Tracks: Did You See the Words, Grass, Flesh Canoe, The Purple Bottle, Banshee Beat, Daffy Duck, Loch Raven, Turn into Something

Least Favorite Track: I guess it would be Bees, but that's still a great track so AAAAH.

Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
96

A perfect mix of Animal Collective's usual weirdness and catchy hooks. Can't recommend it more.

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
92

An awesome gateway into the rest of Animal Collective's records. Where it lacks in experimentation compared to previous records, it makes up for with bright and catchy tracks of Neo-Psychedelic bliss.

Favorite Tracks: In the Flowers, My Girls, Also Frightened, Daily Routine, Taste, Lion in a Coma, Brother Sport

Least Favorite Track: No More Runnin

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
95

A musical experience that changed me forever.

Favorite Tracks: All of It

Least Favorite Tracks: None

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯ A♯ ∞
100

An absolute masterpiece from front to back. I don't think I've ever heard such an epically depressing record in my life. I recommend that if you've never listened to this or any Godspeed record for that matter, go listen to it now.

Favorite Tracks: ALL OF IT

Least Favorite Track: Uh, none
