I'll add Vision Creation Newsun. I second your choice of Yank Crime as well. Phenomenal record.

I have an anecdote concerning one of those Nico albums here.

This happened 30 years ago. It was the first album I ever "flew". So, if I say that such-and-such is flown, that's NOT a complement!

Yeah, I remember that convo vaguely. To which I would cop something you said fairly recently about how it's not nice to mock people who are in love (and you've stuck by that so far, so I'm not going on the offensive ). btw, You mean 'flying' records is not a compliment, right? Also, if the record you flew was Chelsea Girl, then there's almost no conflict. It's pretty flew-able.

Funny you should mention this. I've been looking for this record for a week or two now and still haven't been able to obtain a copy. I heard some of it and The End and was far more impressed with what I heard of them than Chelsea Girl.

Yup. The Marble Index is the harshest, but it seems that there is perhaps too much John Cale on that one. I think Desertshore is more cohesive. It's too bad I can't soulseek anymore, or I'd get you a copy of it (I did also spring for a vinyl reissue too tho).

Wow, someone who actually likes Tim Buckley as much as I do. Probably the most underrated artist of all time. His album before Starsailor; Lorca is another great album worthy of high praise.

I bought Lorca as well as Musik von Harmonia yesterday. I listened to the first side of Harmonia last night - I'm super impressed! Buckley will follow soon after.

Damn, I have yet to get many essential albums. Here's my list though, some have been mentioned already:

Animal Collective- Feels
The Beatles- Revolver, Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper
Black Sabbath- Paranoid
The Flaming Lips- Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights
Modest Mouse- The Moon and Antarctica
R.E.M.- Automatic for the People
Radiohead- The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A
Sufjan Stevens- Illinois
TV on the Radio- Return to Cookie Mountain
Weezer- Pinkerton, Blue Album
The Velvet Underground- Velvet Underground and Nico, White Light/White Heat

Oh, forgot about...
OutKast- Stankonia
Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures
Kanye West- Late Registration
The Arcade Fire- Funeral

You know, "Help!" by the Beatles may not be their BEST, but it is one great song after another, from the beginning to the end. For an album full of neat pop songs, I'd say it approaches if not reaches perfection.

Just found it on there actually. I don't know why sometimes things come up on Soulseek right away and others it can take days or even weeks to hit on.
