Such a good album, never really gets old. Love this album from start to finish, even though I consider I Bleed and Silver weak spots of the album. This is one of the greatest albums of all time and is definitely an essential listen.

Originally Oracular Spectacular was my favorite MGMT album. It was my first experience hearing them, and held a sentimental value. But as I've listened more and more, I've realized this is truly their best. Perfect mixture of indie, psychedelic, and electronic elements that culminate in one of the most underrated albums ever.

The great debate of the 21st century... is Pinkerton or Blue Album better? For me, it depends on mood. If I'm looking to hear the hits I'll spin Blue. But if I'm looking to be ridden with teenage angst and anger, all while dreaming about a girl across the sea, I'm going to Pinkerton. Album flows fantastic.

Very nice list, lots of great records here! Just keep expanding your chart, I'd like to come back and see how it's changed once more albums are added.

Have you heard Lonerism by Tame Impala? You should definitely give it a listen, I'm sure you'd enjoy it based on the albums here. ShadowColossi gave it a great review that made me reevaluate the album on his chart here: http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=29023

You might also like Good Morning Spider by Sparklehorse. An incredible album made in surreal circumstances (read the Wikipedia page!)
Still don't understand why so few people have heard of it.
