Weirdest description ever:

Book Description
Publication Date: April 26, 2012 | Series: 33 1/3
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="203505720-14042010"><div>It's the summer of 1979. A fifteen-year-old boy listens to WNEW on the radio in his bedroom in Brooklyn. A monotone voice (it's the singer's) announces into dead air in between songs "The Talking Heads have a new album, it's called Fear of Music" - and everything spins outward from that one moment.<br /> <br />Jonathan Lethem treats<em> Fear of Music</em> (the third album by the Talking Heads, and the first produced by Brian Eno) as a masterpiece - edgy, paranoid, funky, addictive, rhythmic, repetitive, spooky and fun. He scratches obsessively at the album's songs, guitars, rhythms, lyrics, packaging, downtown origins, and legacy, showing how Fear of Music hints at the directions (positive and negative) the band would take in the future. Lethem transports us again to the New York City of another time - tackling one of his great adolescent obsessions and illuminating the ways in which we fall in and out of love with works of art.</div></span></div>>

All the fucked up tags are like that on the Amazon page.

I was always a Remain in Light guy.

[Ski to Be]

Remain in Light is a great one. I still have Seen & not Seen and Listening Wind on some mixes to this day

[Sullywhacker]

Always play it from front to back (even when all we had was vinyl); every song seems to fit perfectly so that the whole is better than the parts.

[bendtheski]

No offense to the London Calling fans, but Sandinista shows far more depth imo. Yep, Sandinista is my fave by far.

Joe Jackson's Beat Crazy doesn't suck.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Thin White Rope, "The One That Got Away", their last live concert, a double disk of barely controlled gritty bluesy double-lead- guitar feedback squalls that just builds and builds. Heavy, light, moody, abrasive, delicate and sooooo damn good.

For you Mezzanine fans (great choice, by the way), get Laika's "Sounds of the Satellites" - not as emotional, but just as good in a different way...

[atomicboy]

I was 22 when this album came out and it changed my life forever in terms of world views and raw energy

[mmmm...pow!]

[Wompus]

Gonna go with Sum 41 Underclass Heroes. Never gets old for me.

[hatchgreenchile]

Fleetwood Mac- Rumors

Every song on that album is incredible.

[The AD]

Straitjacket Fits "Hail"

[t.odd]

Weezer - Blue Album

Cut buddy holly and it may be perfect.

almost made me rethink my choice....that album is almost perfect, pinkerton is up there too, so underrated. But I have to right a serious wrong in this thread, 4 pages and no Zeppelin?? Weak! I grew up in a pretty religious household, but for some reason my Dad had Led Zeppelin 4 on vinyl, and to this day I think its my number 1.

[irul&ublo]

Live....




Studio....

[DeathVan]

David Bowie -The Man Who Sold The World



with "Black Country Rock" being one of my favorite songs (track 3 @ 13:50)

[SKIORFORGETIT]

I'm gonna revise my entry for the sake of originality, and awesome.
Operation Ivy, Energy. Yes it's compiled from a bunch of 7" but I don't care this album has been in my collection half my life and will remain.

I heard this the first time when I was 15.

I am 36 now and still feel this album is outstanding.

[DJSapp]

I must be the youngest person in this thread. As such, fuck Iceman's rules

I regret to inform you that if smashing pumpkins was your favorite album of college you're almost surely older than me. I think I was in 8th grade when that came out.

[DJSapp]

10th grade for me. You got me by a couple years. Me and my buddies practically wore that album out over 3 summers.

[Chugachjed]

I think the guy that likes sum41 is younger than both of us.

[raisingarizona13]

Currently Attack on Memory, Cloud Nothings

[subtle plague]

the pixies - surfer rosa come on pilgrim (yeah and I know that they have been seperate in the early days).
my favourite with 14 (in the early 90s) when everbody else was into pearl jam and nirvana. and still is.
yes, even back then I knew i was late to the party of the cool kids.....

Insanity, melodies, noise, GENIUS!

[patxi]

tough to choose only one but this one stands the test of time for me:

fIREHOSE - RAGIN' FULL-ON

[Dickeymotto]

Recently, the record for longest running streak for a CD to go unchanged in my car CD player has been broken (previously held by the combination of Rush's Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures since they both fit on one disc) by the combination of Porcupine Tree's Nil Recurring EP and the album Fear of a Blank Planet. They both fit on one disc and share some of the same themes (and some songs have similar lyrics) so they play really well together. I cannot get enough of these albums.

[ICEHOCEY77]

[DeathVan]

fIREHOSE - RAGIN' FULL-ON

Great pick!

So fun in concert too
