I feel real bad for forgetting these names but Julia Holter's Ekstasis & Loud City Song should have really been considered for the original list. Same with anything by Liz Harris or Julianna Barwick.
Would Liege & Lief & Unhalfbricking by the Fairport Convention count as well? Because Sandy Denny's contributions to those albums are massive. |
Yes, while I feel Holter's other work isn't on the level from the more structurally experimental, emotionally creative and profound work of Tragedy, it still far outshines 90% of their list and would make it onto mine too if I extended it.
Re: Fairport Convention ... Seems like it should count, if Sonic Youth and Fleetwood Mac do

Lisa Germano's best albums (Geek the Girl, On the Way Down From Moon Palace, Excerpts From A Love Circus) are emotionally devastating peaks of a naive, vulnerable, emotionally confused and distraught female that has been taken advantage of by men and oppressed by society. These works can be uncomfortably honest and harrowing, but the conviction and vivid descent into her psyche are masterpieces of emotional expression and concept.
Jane Siberry's When I Was A Boy and No Borders Here are quite unusual and astonishing -- highly recommended, vastly under-rated.

^^^ Another key point to those albums by Germano is that she has been so overwhelmed and burdened by her tragic demise, and her psyche so damaged, that she has retreated to the point that her emotional state is colored by both the helplessness and innocence of childhood, but it is a dark childhood of innocence interrupted, of abuse, of a child alone, burrowed and locked in her room, afraid of the dark, enveloped by shadows and repressed memories, just hoping it will all go away.

Very rapidly becoming one of the most overrated albums of all time.
