Sometimes when I'm working on this chart I feel like I'm deliberately trying to make it as bad as possible.
Just my own taste, and one album per artist.

Picking my favorite Beach Boys album... there's nothing harder in life. But I chose this one, and that's because everytime I listen to it, I can feel it. I resonate with this album; I know what Brian Wilson was aiming at, and I understand why he failed to perfect it. He wanted an album that sent the listener to another world, but this result sends him/her to an abandoned train station between worlds, but it’s further than anyone has gone.
It’s completely ridiculous and one of a kind, even now decades later.
The humor that is in the music is not merely an addition to the music, it is part of the music; he shows that humor is an integral part of music that people have forgotten about.
The lo-fi quality - although clearly incorporated because of the emergency situation - creates an atmosphere that was completely new at the time. They just invented a new genre by accident.
And all the while he creates an early version of ambient music, which here has a function as world building so to say.
All in all, this is clearly the work of a genius in despair, comparable with Mozart’s Requiem. It is imperfect, unfinished, and although I am really curious how the project would’ve turned out, I am aware that it was probably just too hard a task for one human being to complete, and we should be sufficiently content with this: The echo of the best album ever made.

House music defines me.

Jungle is truly is the future of music. It takes the basis of popular music - emphasis on beats - and just goes crazy with it. It does more than wild rock/funk/jazz drum breaks; it truly shakes up the whole structure of the music. It is truly the only living contender to the negation of popular music that doesn't go back to older genres.
When this is done badly, and the beats become very busy but repetitive, you get the god awful genre of drum 'n' bass. White people truly ruin everything.
Anyway, together with the artificially elongated, transcendental chants, I immediately fell in love with this album. It truly imbues you with the revolutionary spirit. [First added to this chart: 07/15/2022]

I truly don't understand how she can do such novel things with her voice and a relatively humble production. Her work under the name Ramona Lisa is where she kickstarted her baroque synthpop style. And though Arcadia genuinely feels like she pulled it straight from her dreams, Pang is just so incredibly good, I cannot look you straight in the eye and lie that this is not one of my absolute favorites, that I don't come back to it every couple months and listen to all of it from start to finish.

I can almost rap along to this whole album.
As with most Wayne records, the beats are so-so, but you're listening for the rhymes, the flow, the nonsensical wordplay. I wanna coin a term: a Waynian comparison: a comparison that only makes sense in terms of how the words sound. "I address 'em like P.O. boxes", or "You cannot see me, like Hitler", or "I'm back like a brassiere hook" and many more.
Favorites: lock and load, hit em up, carter II, weezy baby, get over [First added to this chart: 01/19/2021]

The most exilharating drill 'n' bass works he has ever made, interchanged by these childlike (not childish) organ pieces and confusing ambient tracks, this is just the perfect listening experience. Of course it has the necessary Aphex Twin shenanigans: Welsh titles as well as gibberish (sorry Welsh people, I cannot distinguish them), tracks that consist of one weird sound, his family wishing him happy birthday (where the only edit is that his mom's laugh is looped back I think).

I have an unhealthy obsession with her music that makes me question my sanity sometimes. This is one of those that makes you wonder: "genius or just really dumb?" And then you learn she is a rich kid, and slowly find all the old school rap songs she references, and the really bad attempts at more serious songs. But luckily good music doesn't demand intelligence.
Really, if you think I've completely lost it for adding this one, I agree with ya.
favorite: pop the glock, difficult, ricky [First added to this chart: 03/16/2020]

You've got a lot of good electronic albums that have been almost forgotten about for some reason. Like Orbital, Chromeo. Chemical Bros, Mr. Fingers, Moloko, Tears for Fears. Even Daft Punk Homework and deadmau5 you never hear about anymore. I also like how you got the Chic album and Enya. Excellent albums.
