So many of those are great great choices! To add just a few. Pink Floyd - The Wall and Wish You Were Here. Awesomesauce each of them. Under the Pink was my Tori Amos album of choice. I had it on a tape for my Junior Cert year (15-16 yrs old along time ago) and on the other side I had Kirsten Hirsch Hips and Makers. They suited each other and spoke to my angsty teen self. One last suggestion is a song "Do you remember the first time?" by Pulp. Gets me everytime!
haha well limiting myself to albums you didn't already mention some of my favorites are: The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats, All Day by Girl Talk, and Aim and Ignite by Fun.
You have hit my weakspot. Music. I so can relate to you. And I have quite a few that you just mentioned and will check those i don't Keane-what a fantastic band! It is impossible for me to pick a favorite. I am older and have too many to pick one. I think that the Beatles are above everyone else. And while i am a fan of many mainstream artists, i still love finding the small, maybe not so well known, but fabulous bands. I will talk music with you anytime.
Everyone, be sure to check out the amazing gay Dutch Artist Wouter Hamel from Amsterdam! Listen to his song "Don't Ask" featured on my channel, very appropriate lyrics and his song "My Demise" @ Tivoli in my favorites. His song Live @ Barcelona also in favorites "When morning comes" is about 2 gay kids running away makes me cry. I have many of his videos as favorites...so I hope your enjoy!!! His web page and twitter is: hamelmusic
Alt/Grunge bc of its depth hidden by simplicity and some Alt/Rock. It seems to be a different genre than your usual but I am pretty sure you will like something on each album. You will recognise some songs from the radio.
People dont realize that most of these lyrics are actually poetry.
wow certainly agree with some of your chioices, but theres no F'n way i can make a "top" anything list. Theres just too many, and for varied reasons cant pick them to "compete" for my affections. some of my life changing artists:
Ben Harper,Melissa Etheridge,sarah Mc,pink floyd,bowie,zeplin ,journey (orig band),clapton,john lee hooker,sinead,U2,depeche mode,echo & bunnymen,del fuegos,jhendrix,,sisters of mercy,pixies,lemonhead,cydi Lauper,madonna,the boss. & MANY MORE

Desolation, both Newton Faulkner's albums, Manners by Passion Pit, The Boy with No Name by Travis, and Journey's Greatest Hits. These are my everyday favorites. :D
I know you have a load of recommendations already but give Frank Turner - Love Ire & Song a listen. That man is my favourite musician ever, I've loved him ever since his old band Million Dead. After going solo about 5 years ago, he's still blowing my mind to this day. LI&S is probably his best album to date. Also Oasis What's The Story...was a really important album for me, so great isn't it!
Ok well you took one of mine Hopes and Fears-Keane The Misseducation of Lauryn Hill-Lauryn Hill You Gorget it in People- Broken Social Scene The Black Album- Jay Z A Rush of Blood to the Head- Coldplay Tonight, Not Again- Jason Mraz Ok, i'm ready to be judged by these albums: The Writings on the Wall- Destiny's Child From Under the Cork Tree- Fall Out Boy Stripped- Christina Aguilera
I'm more of a musicals type of person. Sister Act (the Broadway version), Next to Normal, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked (there was a good six months where I must have listened to No Good Deed five times a day).
When I was in college, everyone could tell I wasn't from the city of Quincy because I pronounced it "kwin-see" (like John Quincy Adams) when it's apparently supposed to be pronounced "kwin-zee". Local accents are weird sometimes.
I was surprised Bon Iver wasn't on your list! I remember you saying how much you liked him, and For Emma is probably one of my favourite albums of all time. Great list!
Jared: I'll share with you a sad Sufjan Stevens song that is so rare, I could find it only on You Tube. It's called: "Opie's Funeral Song". Here's a couple of other Sufjan songs that are easy to play on the guitar: "Romulus" (Greetings from Michigan) and "To Be Alone With You" (Seven Swans)
"Left In Places" by 41st and Home (you can olny but this alubum digatly theough itunes) but its tottaly worth the buy not olny am i friends with the lead singer/co.founder but his band makes amazing music and live every bit of it i also like Kina grannsi
I'll just identify my favorites on your list - I am a lot older than you so I have had favorites since the '60s, but from your list, I love almost anything by Bright Eyes and Death Cab for Cutie.
I heard this album in the sixth grade and have listened to it ever since. I did not download it to my computer on purpose so I could hear the actual CD everytime I listen. Something about listening to the same CD you did 10 years ago makes me feel so good.
Bennie and the Jets by Elton John (I love all of Elton John's music.)
This song reminds me of my friends and family during the summer just having a good relaxing time. No matter what mood I'm in or what time of day it is, if i listen to this song, i will be in such a joyful mood afterword.
Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung, you will LOVE IT!! and I wonder if you enjoy Queen at all, 'cause if you do then listen to Mika. Great stuff, great stuff.
Stina Nordenstam "Dynamite". My really, really strong recomendation for you... For me, it's the most important album - at some point it saved my life.
Let me preface what I'm about to say by letting you know I think you are very cute. Ok, you look a lot like Alyson Hannigan, especially your mouth! Sorry for the preface, I just wanted to make sure you didn't take it negatively :)
As I was a late comer to the music scene, thank you mother and father, I did not start truly appreciating artists until I started dating my partner. 17 years later and I have to say,"NINE INCH NAILS...Pretty Hate Machine" we were into DR. Martens, coloring our hair, piercing, and the local Boulder, CO. punk scene.
I will second Sia's "Some People Have Real Problems" and Florence + The Machine's "Lungs." Since you already know Sufjan, Tori, and Regina, I probably don't have to tell you to check out all their other albums. Instead I'll suggest a few more which may be not be totally accessible but the songwriting is great: Neko Case's "Middle Cyclone," Joanna Newsom's "Have One On Me," Matt Nathanson's "Some Mad Hope"... I could go on and on. Don't forget Paula Cole, Fiona Apple, and Ben Folds!
Wincing the Night Away was a great album, but I think I preferred Chutes Too Narrow. Both MGMT ablums are great, but all-time favourite would be "Red, Yellow and Blue" by Born Ruffians. Seriously check them out, they're awesome!
@rockpaperstuuph People are the same way in my city. Boise. Boy-see. Not 'Boy-zee'. We get surprisingly upset about it. So I will say Kuhbec, or, when speaking French, Kébec out of respect :)
Oh dear God, I love Far so much, I have it in both normal and deluxe edition. Regina Spektor changed my view over the true artistic value of a music artist. And Radiohead and Coldplay.........
I'm sort of weird about music. When people talk about music like this I always feel like a freak because to me music has never been anything more than background noise. I listen but I don't really pay attention nor care about it.
David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive (Virgin, I think)
Two of the most remarkable albums ever. I really really hope you look into at least the Dead Can Dance, there are great videos from the album here on youtube (a great intro: watch?v=itwL5y0He-k ) I just watched that and it again brought tears to me eyes.
ok I've got a fairly varied taste in music, I wont say eclecticc because that word is over used, but these are albums i think u'll like and think you should listen to.
- Hooverphonic's first 4 albums (songs like Inhaler, Battersea, Electro Shock Faders, This Strange Effect are just beautiful).
- Everything by Ludovico Einaudi
- Hybrid Soundsystem's I Choose Noise and Disappear here
- H Is Orange's The Thrill of Escape
Yes, my music taste is all over the place but do check out Hooverphonic if you can. ('A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular', 'Blue Wonder Power Milk', 'The Magnificient Tree') You might like them.
For a second, I read the title as VEDA25 and thought "What? Have I really slept through half of April!?". ;)
I love how you associate albums with certain time periods in your life. I have the same effect with songs that remind me of what was going on in my life when I first discovered them.
Favourite albums ... that's a tough one. Pink Floyd's PULSE, BT's This Binary Universe, E.S. Posthumus' Unearthed, The Script (both albums), Tom Milsom's Explorers 4 (free)... too many to list here,
Favourite Albums: 19 - Adele Blackout - Britney Spears beautifulgarbage or Bleed Like Me - Garbage Truth, Beauty and a Picture of You, The best of - The Whitlams She Will Have Her Way: The songs of Tim & Neil Finn (Look it up, Amazing!) Well Worth a Listen: I Created Disco - Calvin Harris Any of Ministry of Sound Australia's "Chillout Sessions" (look them up!) Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Motion Picture Soundtrack Discovery - Daft Punk He Will Have His Way (Similar to above but with Guys)
ya you described dark side of the moon very well "you have to listen to this". Its true, totally amazing album, along with the Wall
I would definetly say my favourite personal album that changed my life is Snakes and Arrows by Rush, amazing album.
Also i think one of the most heartfelt, emotional, and just beautiful albums ever is Century Child by Nightwish. I would certainly recommend checking them out they are INCREDIBLE!!!!!
I love music, i love listening to it, playing it, and making it.
My top favorites would have to be Robert Palmer, Sia, Mindless Self Indulgence,Diablo Swing Orchestra, and Electric Six. A lot of variation in my favorites.
original soundtracks for West Side Story and Jesus Christ, Superstar.
Currently digging Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More.
Can't ignore Zepplin IV or Peter Gabriel's So. Oooh, how 'bout Rum, Sodomy & The Lash by the Pogues? But possibly most of all: ¿What, by Stuart Davis.
Even though it's an instrumental album, This Binary Universe by BT is easily my favorite. It's worth buying it because it comes with a DVD with all the songs in a high-def audio format (it's in surround sound) and a video for each song (they're technically music videos, but they're so artistic that the term "music video" doesn't really feel like it applies here). If you've listened to BT's music before and think it's just cheesy trance music, this album is very different from his others.
Mr. A-Z by Jason Mraz. Jason Mraz being an artist I started with when i was eleven I own all his CD's, as in I didn't download them, and he's the only person I do that for.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who enjoys both indie(ish?) music and Coldplay/Keane. I've listened to "Under the Iron Sea" about a million times by now, yet I am still not sick of it.
Someone mentioned Fiona Apple - I really like "Extraordinary Machine," and I imagine (based on this list) that you will too.
I don't really listen to anything that I liked between the ages of 10-16 anymore, because I had terrible taste (lots of emo and commercial rock). Still like the Beatles, though.
Everyone, be sure to check out the amazing gay Dutch Artist Wouter Hamel from Amsterdam! Listen to his song "Don't Ask" featured on my channel, very appropriate lyrics and his song "My Demise" @ Tivoli in my favorites. His song Live @ Barcelona also in favorites "When morning comes" is about 2 gay kids running away makes me cry. I have many of his videos as favorites...so I hope your enjoy!!!

An album I found about a year ago is These Four Walls by We Were Promised Jetpacks and I immediately fell in love. I don't think I'll ever not like it.
Funeral by Arcade Fire is pretty high up there, too.
And Give Up by The Postal Service.
Top three right there. But, then again, that changes often. I just like music and am constantly adding.
Would definitely recommend Wilco to you based on your taste, their music is amongst my very favourite, their best albums are probably "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" or "Summerteeth" if you wanna check them out
Sam's Town, YES! The Killers are my absolute favorite band :) very happy you said this. Sam's Town Sawdust are tied for first in my book <3 i'll stop talking now before this comment gets too out of hand... ;D

Wincing the Night Away was a great album, but I think I preferred Chutes Too Narrow. Both MGMT ablums are great, but all-time favourite would be "Red, Yellow and Blue" by Born Ruffians. Seriously check them out, they're awesome!

Also, "Quebec" is pronounced either "Kuhbec" if you want to keep it in the English realm, or "Kébec" which is the proper way to say it.
When you pronounce the "qu", it kills us Quebecers. Just a little.

@rockpaperstuuph People are the same way in my city. Boise. Boy-see. Not 'Boy-zee'. We get surprisingly upset about it. So I will say Kuhbec, or, when speaking French, Kébec out of respect :)

- Hybrid Soundsystem's I Choose Noise and Disappear here
- H Is Orange's The Thrill of Escape
Yes, my music taste is all over the place but do check out Hooverphonic if you can. ('A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular', 'Blue Wonder Power Milk', 'The Magnificient Tree') You might like them.

For a second, I read the title as VEDA25 and thought "What? Have I really slept through half of April!?". ;)
I love how you associate albums with certain time periods in your life. I have the same effect with songs that remind me of what was going on in my life when I first discovered them.
Favourite albums ... that's a tough one. Pink Floyd's PULSE, BT's This Binary Universe, E.S. Posthumus' Unearthed, The Script (both albums), Tom Milsom's Explorers 4 (free)... too many to list here,

I would definetly say my favourite personal album that changed my life is Snakes and Arrows by Rush, amazing album.
Also i think one of the most heartfelt, emotional, and just beautiful albums ever is Century Child by Nightwish. I would certainly recommend checking them out they are INCREDIBLE!!!!!

woodlandfox2112 10 months ago
Even though it's an instrumental album, This Binary Universe by BT is easily my favorite. It's worth buying it because it comes with a DVD with all the songs in a high-def audio format (it's in surround sound) and a video for each song (they're technically music videos, but they're so artistic that the term "music video" doesn't really feel like it applies here). If you've listened to BT's music before and think it's just cheesy trance music, this album is very different from his others.
GodofVengence 10 months ago
@GodofVengence also just another 5 (off the top of my head):
Vespertine by Bjork
Brazilian Girls by Brazilian Girls (it's not at all serious or thought provoking, but it's just so goddamn fun)
Entroducing by DJ Shadow (an album made entirely out of samples)
And their Refinement of the Decline by Stars of the Lid (yet another instrumental, deeply affecting music, also dreamlike)
The Pariah, the parrot, the delusion by Dredg (it's basically an album for atheists)

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who enjoys both indie(ish?) music and Coldplay/Keane. I've listened to "Under the Iron Sea" about a million times by now, yet I am still not sick of it.
Someone mentioned Fiona Apple - I really like "Extraordinary Machine," and I imagine (based on this list) that you will too.
I don't really listen to anything that I liked between the ages of 10-16 anymore, because I had terrible taste (lots of emo and commercial rock). Still like the Beatles, though.

Listen to his song "Don't Ask" featured on my channel, very appropriate lyrics and his song "My Demise" @ Tivoli in my favorites. His song Live @ Barcelona also in favorites "When morning comes" is about 2 gay kids running away makes me cry. I have many of his videos as favorites...so I hope your enjoy!!!

An album I found about a year ago is These Four Walls by We Were Promised Jetpacks and I immediately fell in love. I don't think I'll ever not like it.
Funeral by Arcade Fire is pretty high up there, too.
And Give Up by The Postal Service.
Top three right there. But, then again, that changes often. I just like music and am constantly adding.
