Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by juro00134

« View previous chartView next chart »
These are my 40 favourite albums at the moment, so their positions are hardly fixed. Note that although these are my favourites, some of them wouldn't even touch a best of all time list. Subjective versus objective and all that...

All these albums have influenced me in major ways, and I have tried to include albums of all genres and from all sides of the musical spectrum (I have even included soundtracks and classical works). I hope this list is an accurate reflection of my current musical mindset.

"Starálfur", "Viðrar vel til loftárása"

Sigur Rós sounds like Iceland. Just watch Heima and you'll see. Or listen to Ágætis byrjun and you'll hear. Beautiful and expansive, it defines the sound of a nation. Along with Björk, Sigur Rós proves talent can come from the unlikeliest of places. What they do best is mix the overblown sound of post-rock with humbleness and hospitality. Just listen to the beautiful piano, the introduction of the vocals, and the ensuing buildup of "Viðrar vel til loftárása" or the acoustic singer/songwriter feel of the title track to realise this. Oh yeah, and "Starálfur" is on this. There is nothing else to say. [First added to this chart: 03/16/2016]

Sure, Abbey Road is a great album (tied with Sgt. Pepper's as my second favourite Beatles abum); however, it feels less like a cohesive album and more like a collection of tracks. Most of those tracks are great (I Want You; Abbey Road suite), but a few are bad (Maxwell's Silver Hammer; Octopus's Garden). The Beatles s/t is included here because the band manage to make a jumbled, filler-filled album into a cohesive statement, i.e. its filler is its strength, and its great tracks are many. Note that although I don't have Abbey Road and others on my list, I do not dislike them. They are all great albums in their own right. :)
