Here it is, don't hate on me because I don't have Pink Floyd up here. These are recommended for any adventurous listener.
Since a lot of these may not be familiar to everyone, I'll provide the genres

20. Autechre - Confield

electronic, idm, experimental

Emotionless, mechanical, and academic, this is the sound of a distant future where the robots have long taken over and have installed their own, purely functional, yet soulless, society.

19. Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

indie rock, 90s college soundtrack

One of the many reasons Modest Mouse was one of THE indie rock bands in the 90s.

18. Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

shoegaze, indie rock, drone, time to hang yourself-core

This album is a 2 hour long volcano of depression, and ends with that volcano exploding and consuming the earth with lava.

17. The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

quirky prog-pop

Long songs, crazy time signatures and structures, baffling and fun lyrics.

16. **** Buttons - Street Horrrsing

drone, noise, hardcore

Noisy drone with hardcore vocals and epic ear shaking production.

15. Indian Summer - Discography

compilation of all this band's tracks. 90's hardcore, emo

When people say they hate screamo/hardcore, most of them have never experienced the goldmine that was harcore music in the 90s.

14. Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right to Children

idm, electronic, analog synths

Sounds like having extreme nostalgia about childhood on cough medicine feels like, but warmer.

13. John Coltrane - The Olatunji Concert

jazz, free jazz

One of the more experimental and soul shattering live jazz recordings.

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

post-rock, 20+ minute tracks of epic crescendos

This is the soundtrack of America's decay as seen by the band, without using lyrics.

11. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

electronic, idm

Just as nostalgic sounding as MhtRtT, but a bit darker and more disorienting.

10-1 coming soon



10. Low - I Could Live In Hope

slowcore, ;_;, indie rock

A pretty depressing, slow, and ambiguous record.

9. Slowdive - Souvlaki

shoegaze, dream pop

Brian eno influences, shoegaze goodness, etc

8. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

indie rock, anne frank fetish

Most people who are into indie music already know this album.

7. Boredoms - Super ae

noise rock

I love the Boredoms. I love japanese experimental music. I love this album.

6. Sonic Youth - Sister

noise rock, no wave

Sonic youth was one of the most badass bands of all time, and this is one of their most endearing works.

5. Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun

drone, folk, ambient

It's two hours of the most endearing and bleak folky drone and droney folk ever recorded.

4. Can - Tago Mago

krautrock, psychedelic rock

German psychedelic rock was insane. From the funky first half, to the dizzying avant garde soundscapes of the second half, Can proves to the world that they are, and will always be, gods.

3. Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind

noise rock, industrial

This combined everything Swans did well in their career into one epic, long, brutal album.

2. Animal Collective - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished

indie rock, psychedelic pop, noise pop

It sounds like the imagination of a traumatized, yet violently imaginative child.

1. Slowdive - Pygmalion

shoegaze, ambient, drug haze space dreams



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
I love Slowdive, but I appreciate Souvlaki much more than Pygmalion.



Could use a bit more variety overall but all the ones I've heard I think are great. Except NMH and Animal Collective. Can is a pretty fun entry.

Do you listen to any other stuff like Natural Snow Buildings?

Some stuff that's similar or has a similar vibe that I like: Grouper, Twinsistermoon, Isengrind, Lau Nau, Islaja, Kuupuu, Paavoharju, Kemialliset Ystavat maybe.
