[SunBrother2]

I couldn't find a thread that was doing this for 2013 but I've seen it in past years and it seemed to help a lot of people out, including myself. Post the best album or the album you think is most worth checking out by each band on the lineup (or just a band you think some might not know much about).

Portugal. The Man - Church Mouth
Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals

R u fucking serious with this thread? But, the album above is very very legendary. Just wish Sparks were performing their songs with a full band.

[grichsgang]

Lou Reed anyone?

Berlin or New Sensations or New York.

Of course the Banana album from the VU is a top 20 all-timer.

[grichsgang]

Lou Reed - Rock n Roll Animail if were talking solo, Velvet Underground & Nico was the best album, he was on

In the top 5 of best live albums ever. (Live Rust, Budokan, How the West Was Won, and one other that I can't think of).

[HeavensWeep]

pretty sure it was a joke there bud

Oh I know...just making a joke about a joke.

These artists below all have multiple albums that are worthy of your time.

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun


Lou Reed - The Velvet Underground (Not "Lou Reed" obviously, but it's my personal fav of all the great stuff he's done.)


Beach House - Teen Dream


Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads (Currently tops my list for the Caveman. So much quality shit over the last ~30 yrs.)


Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon and Antarctica (I've given a lot of thought for quite awhile as to which of these two is my favorite, but can never seem to reach a conclusion. Therefore, I hereby declare them to be equally great.)

[hello_friend]

Bassnectar - Cozza Frenzy
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
Beach House - Teen Dream
Infected Mushroom - IM the Supervisor
Modest Mouse - Building Something Out of Nothing
Portugal, The Man - Church Mouth/Censored Colors
RHCP - BSSM

[TallGuyCM]

Nope.

Ágætis byrjun

Otherwise:
Dino Jr - Bug
Tame Impala - Lonerism
Descendents - Milo Goes To College
Modest Mouse and Grizzly Bear are too close to call.
