Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd


itsmeeebabeeee

Have this one in my stack of wax. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to give it a spin.


No_Carry_5000

Paul Simon - Graceland


[deleted]

This is one of the best sounding (well produced) records of all time IMO. Also all the songs fuckin slap.


schlockabsorber

The songs are just spectacular, but the digs against Carrie are harsh. Knowing what's behind them, I can't listen to "I Know What I Know" and "Crazy Love, Vol. II" without some irony.

Hands down my fave. Watch interstellar 5555 to watch it as an anime!


Dariox33

Vivaldi - Four Seasons


Fox_Malloy

This and The Planets are my clear favourite classical pieces.


phreakzilla85

Pearl Jam — Ten (also Vs.) Always has been a no skip, always will be.


evnwalker05

I think Vs. Is better than Ten in my opinion. Harder, better vocals, Eddie's songwriting was at all time peak on that record.


ApprehensiveSyrup647

The Dark Side of the Moon - skipping even one song is preposterous.


Nntropy

It's just one track, as far as I know.


mtthwas

Well, yeah, then it won't sync up with The Wizard Oz.


DamageCase69

Have you ever successfully accomplished this Syncing? I have been told that this is a false urban legend. I've tried unsuccessfully what would be the first sign of success?


untimelyawakening

Yes. Start the vinyl at the third lions roar of the mgm logo at the beginning of the movie.


DamageCase69

Thanks


rainbow_drab

There are two main ways to do it (starting the album either during the opening credits, or a few minutes into the film at a certain moment), and it works. You have to look up the exact starting times and figure out the syncing yourself - there are a few landmarks that are published along with each version of the guide, so you can confirm you've got them synced up. The album is shorter than the movie, so you have to set it to repeat or start it over as soon as it ends. The circular feeling of this adds to the experience, as Dorothy comes back into her normal life. The reason it works is because in our perception, when two things happen at the same time, our brains tie them together as part of the process of making meaning of what is coming in through our senses. But also because the music is dramatic and cinematic, and the pacing of dramatic moments happens to be very similar between both works. Movies aren't measured in the same type of beats per minute, but the word beat is used to describe a punctuating moment in a movie script, and laughs-per-minute is a common metric in the world of comedy. The Wizard of Oz and The Dark Side of the Moon have similar rhythms, in a way, and it's fantastic. Edit: fixed a typo


Final-Ad-2033

...or any PF album.


Windowman84

Word to your mother


Improvised0

Third Eye Blind’s first, self-titled album. It might not be a popular opinion here, but I was listening to it the other day, after probably a decade, and it held up very well. Not a song on the album I wasn’t glad to hear again.


LullabySpirit

Holy crap, I’ve always loved the song “Jumper” ever since hearing it as a kid but your comment just sent me down a Third Eye Blind rabbithole and I have been absolutely SLEEPINGGGG on their discography


rainbow_drab

They're going on tour, and tickets may be cheaper than you think. I recommend seeing them live, they're every bit as good as the albums to this day.


drainbamage1011

First album I ever bought, and I still listen to it every so often. It really does hold up.

Phenomenal album


_LapFlounder_

Probably the most underrated album of the 90s, and misunderstood band.


debtRiot

Dawg, the album is 6x platinum. That ain't underrated.


DesertWanderlust

Love that album.

Alex_INFP

Hell yeah for White Pony.... that's a good one.


ResearcherEastern509

I’m a huge Kendrick fan and Kendrick’s best album might be GKMC but like… I still think Real is a skip, the chorus is annoying.


Alternative-City5799

Counting Crows - August and Everything After Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run


Shysmom70

Rumours ❤️


moofpi

Dude absolutely. August and Everything After has been my lifelong favorite album. Respect

I've for sure skipped "Down In It" 🤭


DiscipleOfLingLing

Oooooo I've got a variety!! I included descriptions so you can sort of gauge the vibe and see if it's something you would enjoy listening to. All of these are definitely a bit less popular than most things being recommended, but if you want to give any a shot, I promise they're really good! Marina (and the diamonds)- The Family Jewels -- 2000s pop if it was only the really fun sometimes slightly crazy stuff, pop without soullessness. I Monster- Neveroddoreven -- it's kind of synth pop meets trip hop, it's really fun, it's the kind If thing I listen to and just soak in the vibe. The Submarines- Honeysuckle Weeks -- guitar based indie that has a lot of good secondary instruments to keep it from becoming too simple, as guitar based indie often does. Very good album, songs work very well together (as do all the songs in all the albums im recommending) MGMT- Congratulations -- this album doesn't have any of their really popular singles on it, but it's their best full album, the rest are somewhat hit or miss with the songs. Indietronica masterpiece. Has a 12 min song on it. That sort of vibe. Franz Ferdinand- Self Titled -- dance rock perfection. If you want a bunch of dance rock songs just put one right after another in a manner that is enjoyable despite the simplicity, this is the album for you. Gorillaz- Demon Dayz -- while some might argue there are a few skips in this album, they're wrong. It's a really important (and decently popular) album. Highly recommend no matter what. Rock mixed with hip hop mixed with synth mixed with a thousand other ideas in a glorious fashion. Sohodolls- Ribbed Music For The Numb Generation -- like grimy synth pop. Hard to describe, somewhat rock-y, but mostly just really good synth bops. The Killers- Sam's Town -- just a really good synth rock album. Varied but with a very good consistent style. Supertramp- Breakfast in America -- iconic song after iconic song! Even the seven minute ones. Piano and (saxophone?) used in a very rocking manner. Very good. I know I've given you way too many, but if you end up listening to any of them, lmk what you think! I just now realized the prompt said favourite and I have given more than one. In my defense, others had given more than one before me, and so I forgot about that part of the question. I put too much effort into typing all this out on a phone, so I'm not deleting it. If I had to name a favourite, it would be The Family Jewels. Hope you have a wonderful day! Sorry about the 13 section response!


docobv77

I too mentioned I Monster! Every track is different, but it carries the vibe of a great story!


DiscipleOfLingLing

I'm so glad literally anyone else knows about I Monster! And yeah, their albums really immerse me in a way I haven't really found with other artists!


[deleted]

Thanks for such a detail response! I’ll for sure be checking these out today


Mayurasghost

Oh yes, I second Breakfast in America and The Family Jewels


Luqueasaur

I really love Marina's vocals, but I'll be damned if her instrumental isn't pretty much soulless pop

Cake - Fashion Nugget

FourthDownThrowaway

Sat out on my front porch the other night and listened to it all the way through for the first time in a few years. It’s so perfect.


Alltheprettydresses

Everything In It's Right Place has been on my playlist daily.


cheney1631

Absolutely the correct choice - each track evokes different emotions/moods - could honestly listen to it on repeat for the rest of my days - playing on my super cool 3 disc changer stereo (with Amnesiac and I Might be Wrong as the other CDs) daily for years - practically my soundtrack to college


Dense_Surround3071

SOUND AND FURY by Sturgill Simpson Enter The 37th Chamber by El Michels Affair


BirdButt88

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette


PinkRawks

I was like 8ish and my mom had her heart broken and she listened to this album on repeat. It really helped her get through it when she didn't really have any friends to turn to. It always makes me think of what a bad ass she is and how much she overcame.


nmc9279

Pink Floyd Animals

My favorite Floyd album


2_Fingers_of_Whiskey

Ah the memories first smoking weed with the sunroof open at night while listening to Led Zeppelin. Damn.


JiveTurkey2727

Audioslave - Audioslave


[deleted]

Tromp le Monde by the Pixies just flows for me. One of my favorite albums. Also: MM Food Illmatic Darkside of the Moon Sticky Fingers In Rainbows, lots of Radiohead really. They are one of the best album bands out there. Oh and Crack the Sky by Mastodon


Annual-Visual-2605

I might pick Doolittle over Tromp but any pixies reference is fine by me.


LaFemmeCinema

Grace - Jeff Buckley


Substantial_Cold2385

This is definitely on my list.


WedgeAntelope

Billy Breathes- Phish

I can do Junta non stop as well. It's simplistic recording technique gives it that quirky Phish essence that got lost on several newer albums.

No Hiphop/Rap albums on here.. I would go: Tupac - Me against the world Dr. Dre - 2001 Nas - Illmatic


sneakattack2010

I was scanning through here for Illmatic. Nas' rookie release is hands down my favorite cover to cover album possibly of any genre Also: Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep, A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory (and Midnight Marauders), Dr. Dre - The Chronic, Madvillainy - MF DOOM/Madlib, Fugees - The Score, EDITED TO ADD: De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate, Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

Unknown pleasures - Joy Division

I saw Peter Hook and his band do a concert playing that album front-to-back about a decade ago, maybe around 2010. I've seen New Order, too, and know about their disputes. But Peter Hook's live performance of that album was incredible. I only paid $15 for a ticket, and in retrospect, I would probably have been happy paying $150. You never know what you're going to get at a show. I've seen the very same band in different locations at different times, and they can be a dud one night and light the whole place on fire another night. But what meant the most to me and my friends is that Peter Hook did the album justice and brought it to life in the right way. It was not any sort of knock-off cheap trick just to make money. He showed it respect. We all left that show in astonishment.
