I am a new member and I am greatly appreciating the incredible, seemingly limitless music knowledge possessed by this community. I am discovering so much great music.
So what are the greatest albums to listen to in the following scenarios?:

1) Headphones/Isolation
2) Feel Good
3) Angry/ Anti-Social (emotion not behaviour)
4) Romantic
5) Under the Influence

Thanks for your recommendations.

Thanks, as I think music is all about time and place. Must say, that since becoming a member of BEA it feels like I have entered the rabbit hole. I can’t wait to check out your picks. The first 3 I haven’t heard of. I realize I didn’t give any of my own picks yet. Still working on it, but should have it up later in the day.

Maybe a little boring but here goes:
1) Radiohead OK Computer/David Bowie Blackstar
2) Bob Marley Legend/Jane Siberry The Walking
3) Bush 16 Stone (His)/Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill (Hers)
4) Billie Holiday: The Billie Holiday Story/Jeff Buckley Grace
5) Japan Obscure Alternatives/Talking Heads Remain In Light

Hi Fischman,
Dan Fogelberg takes me back to my first relationship in high school. So right about Katrina and the Waves, but after I feel guilty? Does that make me a snob? Flotsam and Jetsam I haven’t heard; Pink Floyd I have, I dig!

Hi Thad,

I am familiar with Sufjan Stevens’ Illinoise, and thought it quite remarkable when it came out. Is Adz better? I am listening to the Stone Roses and feeling pretty good (though not under the influence). Graceland is a great pick. I think Paul Simon is underrated and I love the way he incorporates musical styles fro around the world. The zydeco flavour of Graceland works particularly well. As crazy as this seems, I only discovered Modest Mouse recently. I am really enjoying The Moon and Antarctica but must get a copy of LCW. D’Angelo I will need to check out but it won’t make me a sex addict will it? Finally, no apologies necessary. You only get one go round. Do no harm, and your choices should be your own is my philosophy. Radiohead I know from The Bends but am starting to listen more and more-and loving it. The other music I haven’t listened to, so thanks for the recommends.

In that case, the Grease Soundtrack! Oops, did I say that out loud?
