A journey through a psychedelic jungle, the album that got me into both ambient and electronic music. I randomly found the track "Vertical Pig" on YouTube and a guy called it the "deepest trip ever". I can only agree.

Drop by the Souvlaki space station here. It's a wonderfully dreamy place to escape from your worries.

Ghostly euphoria and the shoegaze sound that many have unsuccesfully tried to copy. Noisy, but paradoxically beautiful. A real loomer of an album!

Pink Floyd recycling the recipe from their classic 70s era once again. As usual, it's larger than life in a beautiful, melancholic way. Among all the great instrumentals of their career, "Marooned" here takes the cake for me. Even those who aren't too excited about the album gotta admit that "High Hopes" was a very proper farewell from one of the most important bands of all time.

The voice of Enigma is interesting and chilled out. The mix of genres is somewhat confused, but adds to the enjoyability. A lot of spiritual-sounding new age synths with groovy electronic rhythms and French whispers (!) going on at the same!

Grace

Jeff Buckley was like a Radiohead, just with more soul and grace. Leonard Cohen's voice is gorgeous too, but it's like he wrote "Hallelujah" just so Jeff could perform a better version. I can't remember how many times I've sung it as sing-along and everybody's been trying to imitate Jeff Buckley, singing it as heavenly as possible. Gorgeous voice and gorgeous songs from a man who tragically passed on way too soon.

Nevermind

I've always assumed that the slogan of Nirvana and grunge as a whole was "I hate myself and want to die". Imagine how surprised I was when I found out that Nirvana actually have made a song called that! "Nevermind" wears this slogan too, but with better production and songs than other Nirvana albums. Still curious to know how it was to be around the fuss about the album, particularly "Smells Like Teen Spirit", in the early 90s. It must've been like Beatlemania, just with the opposite attitude.

Overheated coke-paradise. "All Around the World" is so long that one might wonder if it's a joke or just Oasis that have completely lost the plot. Either way, I love its exaggerated layer upon layer composition. The whole album is overwhelming, but in a good way.

Euphoria meets evil. A killer in the dark that will keep the floor on fire all night. Also very recommendable when you need to stay up all night of school/work-related reasons.

A champagne supernova of an album crammed with some of the biggest anthems of the 90s. "Champagne Supernova" made me go Oasismaniac and buy all their albums. On a less positive note, I think we all can say by now that we've heard "Wonderwall"! In order to fully appreciate this album, don't look back in anger and just roll with it.

A fascinating chart--full of surprises. Ok Computer, Grace, Nevermind, and The Bends are all fantastic albums deserving of their positions here. I've never listened to The Good Life, nor am I familiar with many Danish artists generally, so that's one I'm going to try out to expand my musical horizons. Thanks for sharing this list!

Great chart. I like the way you've nailed your appreciation of Mariah Carey to the mast and put it out there, with her albums rubbing shoulders with more established classics. Kudos for making this chart a celebration of what you enjoy.
