Counting Crows - This Desert Life
Counting Crows are often considered a really commercial poppy band, but this album shows what they're really like. Listening to this album all the way through is a quite weird experience. Get to know it, and once you do, sit down and listen all the way through on a good system, and you'll see what bliss is.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Again, another group who are often considered to be trash-rock. Sadly, they did get a bit trashy towards the end of their careers, but this album is them in their golden era. Truly a remarkable album and absolutely one of my favourites.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
No need to mention who this is by. Probably the most important album in history. Still an absolute dream to listen to.
Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending
Amazing piece of music. Well leave you soooooooo chilled out you wouldn't believe it.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Probably second in the list from Sgt. Pepper's as the most influential and important albums in the history of music. Amazing experience to listen to all the way through, really takes you to some incredible places.
Radiohead - The Bends
Stunning album. I wish I hadn't been 5 years old when this album first came out, as it really must have been something else to listen to.
Radiohead - OK Computer
A stunning (and IMO superior) follow-up to The Bends. Really amazing soundscapes and puts some fantastic messages across.
Sibelius - Finlandia
One of the most fantastic pieces of music ever, IMO! Incredibly moving, so much so that it was banned due to the uprisings it caused.
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
I recently bought this on Vinyl, and it honestly is the most amazing thing I've heard emanating from my stereo. Incredibly relaxing, and 'Corsair' is the most played thing in my iTunes library (1200+ plays).
Adam F - Colours
The album which invented Drum 'n Bass, but did it with style. Amazing soundscapes and very, very very stylish!
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus
The most important reggae album of all time! Essential music...
Those are some of my top albums, but there are so many others.
What you should do, is get SimplifyMedia, and add as many people as you can as friends. My screen name is 'killyp', and you can have a listen to my iTunes library.
