Massive Attack: "Mezzanine"

 

This album owns me. One of the top 5-10 albums of all time, IMO. It's presently in my top 3 behind Wilco's "Being There" and Elliott Smith's "XO." This album isn't as liked by critics as Protection, or especially Blue Lines, but it's my favorite. Black Milk is better than the House-ified Teardrop and Dissolved Girl is the most underrated song ever produced.

Elliott Smith, Either/Or

 

[brettac1]

Totally a top five album for me, right there. I can go a couple weeks with just that in my CD player.

The best of "Local On The 8's".

Common, Like Water For Chocolate

Might be one of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard. It's been a favorite of mine for years.

[brettac1]

My new turntable came yesterday, and last night I listened to the White Album, self-titled VU, Bon Iver, and Drive-By Truckers' "Southern Rock Opera" on it. All sounded great. I'm done with CD's.

[And That]

Stabbing Westward: "Darkest Days" is a pretty album.

Songs: Ohia, "Didn't It Rain" is even prettier. The second half is mind-bendingly great. The first half is even better.

 

Edit: If you ever have a long drive that involves driving under the stars or clouds and own this album, you're more or less obligated to listen to it.

I've listened a few times so far. I like it even though (and in a way, because) most of it sounds quite a bit different than Weezer.
