I am so bored of my current music selection. I have thousands of amazing songs but a surprisingly small amount of truly "GREAT" or "PERFECT" albums. Despite having wildly eclectic tastes, I get quite discriminatory about the songs I listen to, being that my main concern in musical selection is originality combined with strong, creative hooks in melody and/or rhythm. I love unusual chord progressions and rhythms. It's not enough for me to hear a "weird song" though because to me, weirdness without any kind of order is just chaos, and chaos does not require talent. Right now, my favorite albums are:
Arcade Fire - Funeral, Neon Bible, The Suburbs, The Beatles - ââ¬â¹A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale, Help!, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album, Abbey Road, The Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape (this is actually the only foo album that I like), Paul McCartney - Ram, Radiohead - OK Computer, Kid A, Hail to the Thief, In Rainbows, Ray Charles - The Genius Sings the Blues, Silverchair - Young Modern, The Strokes - Is This It, Room on Fire, Comedown Machine, Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico. ââ¬â¹
Besides all of that, my two other highly specific passions in music are: sad songs from the 40s, 50s, and early 60s (Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Etta James, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Motown music) and laid back easy listening types of songs from the late 60s and early 70s (a little bit of Bread, a little bit of America, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Beatles and their early solo albums, acoustic Led Zeppelin songs, etc). Out of those two types listed, I've never been able to find one single album dedicated to those specific moods.
Anyway, so based upon my described tastes - is there any album missing from my collection that you might recommend? I'm sure there is and I'm just dying to find out. Hours upon hours of internet research just keeps leading me back to the same overrated albums that I've already heard before.
