Radiohead definitely needs to be up there.

pretty much my entire music collection, except for the stuff i don't listen to anymore.

stuff that is priority would definitely be like botch and kyuss and isis. definitely.

All the good Hawkwind cd's.

Is this a albums everybody should have list or a list of ones you don't have? In either case you should trim some fat (good fat nonetheless, but face it, albums are expensive if you want hard copies)

I would take off Okanokos, just get the Low Level Owls and Peregrine afterwards (go from there afterwards) for The Appleseed Cast, get Rollercoaster (S/T) by Red House Painters first and then go from there, and I would probably take of The Arctic Monkeys, Neon Bible, and maybe The Verve (but that's just me).

stuff to add:

Source Tags and Codes--...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Citrus--Asobi Seksu
Future Perfect--Autolux
Everything All The Time--Band of Horses
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning--Brigt Eyes
You Forgot it in People--Broken Social Scene
Moon Pix, The Greatest--Cat Power
Rehearsals for Departure--Damien Jurado
Yellow House--Grizzly Bear
Deloused in the Comatorium--The Mars Volta
Winners Never Quit--Pedro The Lion
We are the Pipettes--The Pipettes
Dummy--Portishead
Spiderland--Slint
pretty much all of Wilco's catalogue

and also (rap):
Hell Hath No Fury--Clipse
Boy in da Corner--Dizzee Rascal
Madvillainy--Madvillain

Arctic Monkeys? Seriously?

This topics' suggestions will vary greatly depending on what type of genre you listen to, but if you like Metal:
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengence

If you like "Modern Rock":
Pearl Jam - Ten
311- Grassroots

...and there are probably dozens of other albums I'm forgetting but these were the first that came to mind.

You guys don't seem to understand the concept of this thread. It's to post the music you think you're in need of that you don't have. The majority of the "fat" is stuff I already have in digital form and think I want; not soon nessisarily but if I'm going to make a checklist I'd make sure to have them on there.

And yes Jelly, I like them, whatever.

Jazz, I already have everything except the recent Airbag EP and Comlag EP reissues (Pablo Honey, The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, I Might Be Wrong Live Recordings, and My Iron Lung EP)...

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Volume 2
The Streets - A Grand Don’t Come for Free

Dude. You read too much Pitchfork.

And the early Verve stuff Psychedelic?!

Dark Side Of The Moon
The Wall


Seriously, how could you forget them? :/

maybe he already owns them?

i need to get the track(s) that my friend was helping Brian Wilson record about a week ago.

i don't really care if i have a hard copy (it's nice, but doesn't mean enough to me)--just as long as i have it.

Dark Side Of The Moon
The Wall
Seriously, how could you forget them? :/

*clap clap*

And while I probably do read too much Pitchfork I don't rely on them to form my opinions for me; I watch videos of the bands involved on YouTube, I hunt down free downloads here and there. Most of the stuff on that list I already have in some form or another...

But since this thread has become a stone-throwing match rather than a music discussion how about changing the subject to the "NE essential album list", or even better: just close/delete the thread and forget about it.

Hybrid Theory_Linkin Park

Arctic Monkeys first album needs to be up there aswell. Rage Againt The Machine's first album and anything by Zeppelin.

This thread is dead fools.

I'm considering putting together a thread to debate the "NE Essential Albums list" sorta thing. Basically a "if you don't own these you're missing out" list to help peoplez (me included) find excellent albums we'd otherwise miss or never hear about.
