    The one that has pictures of my love ones both those with me and those I only have memories left. Its white and has gold trim bought it in a KMart in late 80s and its been with me for so many moves. It was one of the few things left behind when my house got robbed. So I thank them for that.

    Daft Punk - Alive

    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

    Alice in Chains - Facelift

    EDIT (some more):

    Gojira - From Mars to Sirius

    Pearl Jam - Ten

    Soundgarden - Superunknown

  • Nirvana - Nevermind

    No question. I got it when I was 15 in '91. Over the years, I’ve seen countless bands of various genres. My tastes evolved, and frankly, some of the records and CDs I loved at that age have not held up as my taste and musical appreciation broadened, but this one’s timeless. For a while, I preferred In Utero for its rawness, but Nevermind is basically flawless in my opinion.

  • Scurrilous by Protest the Hero

    It’s their turning point, the last album with og line-up. Rody (vocal) taking charge of the lyrics. Simple drum (set up), insane riff, varied theme.

    From the futility of suicide, cancer, to record label greed.

    I mean I like their newer material even more, but this one special to me.

  • Computerwelt by Kraftwerk.

    But Remain In Light by Talking Heads is a very close second.

  • 3 hours

    Oof that’s a hard one. One of the below:

    Jimmy Eat World ‘Clarity’

    Mineral ‘The Power Of Failing’

    Neutral Milk Hotel ‘In The Aeroplane Over The Sea’

    The Decemberists ‘Picaresque’

    • Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.

      In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.

      I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.

  • Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park) is objectively the greatest album of all time in my subjective opinion

    My Head is an Animal (Of Monsters And Men) is probably my personal favorite though

  • What a delightfully impossible question.

    I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.

    So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:

    Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition

    I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.

    My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album

    My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami

    Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.

  • Of course this changes over time but right now it’s probably a toss up between Marquee Moon by Television and 154 by Wire.
