I wouldn't exactly say this is my favorite album, but it does capture a certain loose organic sound that I look for in all music.

Its just an album that always makes me feel the world around me is beautiful and awe inspiring, which is what all art should do.

Awesome stuff - Bows is a side project of Luke Sutherland from scottish rock group Long Fin Killie, if anyone knows that well.

i've got that record, I bought it because it got quite a few good reviews, i thought it was pretty dull though.

For its ecletic mix of styles - It's the one album I can think of that, for whatever reason I want to listen to music, there will be something on it that satifies that need:

I can answer the "About You When You Were 14" question easily, that would be Led Zeppelin I which I bought used for a dollar at the comic book store I hung out in.

The actual thread subject has me stumped however. I don't think there is such a record. My favorite album, period, is Bad Moon Rising, but obviously there are many types of music I love that it doesn't touch on in the slightest. Ditto my second favorite album Atlantis by Sun Ra. Certainly the passion and originality that made those two albums possible is something I look for in all music, but they are both highly atonal in scope so how could I say they embody what I love about the early works of either Elliott Smith or the Cocteau Twins (or despite the connection SY have created for themselves, The Carpenters)?

Music too often gets mistaken for a language. It isn't one though. It's many different languages actually.

You know what? As soon as I'd posted the above, I realized that the Velvet Underground & Nico is as close as it gets. It's got "European Son" and "Sunday Morning" on the same album, which does cover both extremes in absolute perfection. Of course it doesn't touch on what I love about Mutabaruka or Fela Kuti in the slightest, but it does come closest to embodying the whole range of my favorite music of any record likely to be out there.

There's probably no one album that embodies everything I love about music. But these three come close:

Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., and Safe as Milk

Bowery Electric - Beat

To me, this is just a perfect record. It's got all that I truly love about music ... shoegaze guitars, ambient soundscapes, lush vocals, hypnotic blurred atmospheres, beats ... I can't precisely explain how much I love this album.

If there is a hell, and if that's where I'm going, this would be the soundtrack.

ONe album? not possible. NIRVANA's In Utero is one of my favorite albums...along with Daydram Nation and Kill Yr Idols/Confusino is Sex. After that....hmm..I'd probably say.............................I don't know.


Oh RADIOHEAD's Ok Computer and Pearl Jam's No Code.

this thread has stumped me for days, it's such a hard collection to have an all encompassing answer, anything from Half Japanese, Sleater-Kinney, Helium, SY just makes it frustrating

then again why have i been spending this much time devoted to thinking of this in the first place

weirdly, its phoenix - Its Never Been Like That

for no other reason, than it really is the only kind of music that makes me do the skippy happy dance moves while I'm walking, no matter what mood I might be in before it comes on the ipod.

funny what music can do to ya.
