I haven't blogged in a while so I will be super cliche and make a best of list. I hope you enjoy/dislike my picks.
It's hard for me to put these albums in any order because they are all great. I would rate them differently 1-10 depending on what my mood is.
Tool - Lateralus
One of the greatest hard rock albums of all time, enough said
Beck - Sea Change
I really didn't discover this album until I was late into college and I found an extremely mellow, sad album that is great to listen to when you need to calm down. Which many of you know is something I need to do often.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Up from Below
I'm glad I started listening to them a week after they where in Tucson, I blame anyone who happened to catch them for my current pathetic state. "Home" might be the song of the year for me.
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
If the CSNY crossed there harmonic boners this would be there child.
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Electronica+Punk= LCD Soundsystem=my funky dance moves
Arcade Fire - Funeral
From the first to the last song this albums flows beautifully. I saw these guys at Coachella while waiting for Tool to come on and it was musical wetties at first sight.
My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves
Discovered this album while spending my lunch hour at Hoodlums. A perfect mix of psychedelic/country/rock and great vocals from Jim James from the get go.
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
I can't even explain how great this album is. Maybe one of the GOAT! (Greatest of all Time, for all you who don't know my speak)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
It is amazing to see what has become of this punk band from the late 80s into the mega group they are know. This album encompasses the musical styles from several aspects of the band's career. Seeing that John Frusciante has officially left the band it might be the last great album they ever create.
TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
A truly different sound these guys create. Great vocals, with a doo wop sound at times, love the horns and the bass line that rolls throughout is what really does it for me.
Stay tuned.......Coming soon, my movies picks for the decade.
