What Are Your Top 3 Favorite Albums?

Still the only good top 3 in here

Three more favorites:



Hildur Gudnadottir - Without Sinking

Love Hildur. She's one of the most inspiring musicians for me personally. Maybe because she's so damn atmospheric.



Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F# A# Infinity

An album I can't really talk about, because it's all feels.



Death Grips - The Money Store

Death Grips, one of the most important bands in my life ever. Everyone has an opinion on them and I feel that opinion usually dictates if you'll be my friend or not. Hard picking an album of theirs I like more than the others, I like them all pretty much equally. Went with Money Store for the cover, even though I'm showing the censored version.

Let's have some picks, Swan.

I remain unconvinced.

I think it can be BOTH.

That sounds about right.

How appropriately gamey of you.

typical

Post punk/synthpop/dance rock?

An album cover of a cherub apparently pleasuring himself?

Yes, my loathsome hate of Kanye West is legendary. It's practically all I post about.

Don't tell me you couldn't totally hear that pumping out of a Sega Genesis.

With that midi chip? My love of New Order goes back to the True Faith era, so I'm a bit of a bandwagon jumper.

You can think what you want, you're still incorrect.

What makes them mutually exclusive?

As the number of favourites gets smaller, I feel like I need to vary them a bit more in order to aim for as broadly representative a selection as possible. Remain in Light is a strong amalgamation of multiple genres that includes those it took influence from and also that which it influenced, which is also true of Wish You Were Here to a lesser extent. To this end, I feel like I could swap in Enter the Wu-Tang or A Love Supreme or Ride the Lightning as my #3. It's difficult, I tell you.

The top 3 metal picks I threw up are fairly representative what I gravitate towards, but my main top 3 to a much lesser extent. None of it really speaks to my appeal for The Glitch Mob or Def Leppard or the jazzy pop-rap of Shoji Meguro and Lotus Juice.

Babymetal is fricken' weird... I think I like it.

My Spirit Will Go On, 200.02 BPM
Exciter, 144.82 BPM

>_>

Speed metal isn't really about speed, it's just called that because they were all on speed while they were recording it.

Babymetal is awfully mediocre. And I'm saying this as a sucker for anything that's Japanese.

Tough for me to pick favorites of all time, due to the ways tastes change over time etc. I will post three records I really like from the metal genre that are of the now. Metal is probably my favorite genre by just a hair, but I listen to many different genres of music. Here are three metal records I listen to a lot these days. Not the best ever or any silly claims like that:


Dark Tranquillity
Damage Done




Amorphis
Under the Red Cloud




Moonsorrow
Viides luku – Hävitetty

I like that there's, ridiculously, a mash-up of Heavy Metal and J-Pop out there.

Got some specific songs from those to recommend, Sedai?

Partly the reason yes.

But musically speaking Speed metal is the bridge between Heavy metal/NWOBHM (New wave of British Heavy Metal) and Thrash metal. Speed Metal is more technical and melodic than thrash, while being faster and utilizing harsher vocals than heavy metal. If you listen to a band like Iron Maiden (Heavy), then Exciter (Speed) and then finally to something like Slayer (Thrash) you will notice a distinct difference between the three bands and the type of music they play.
