Giggsalot 06/01/22 11:42:17 AM #14:	CasanovaZelos posted... Hopefully Giggsalot will see this and add more to my brief summaries. Forever Changes is probably categorized as psychedelic folk rock - though, as I said, it's a bit more complex than that label suggests. Which, I should probably be clear - complex in its mix of genre influences but still easily digestible. Burial's Untrue is essentially the definitive British dubstep album (which has little in common with the more popular American form of dubstep). Very dense atmospheric stuff. I'm on my phone and don't want to take the effort to find links, but Alone Again Or and Archangel are good starting points if you want a sample. Hi all! Just saw this, hopefully I can still influence some votes. *Forever Changes* is not my favourite album of the late 60s (that would probably be Van Morrison's Astral Weeks), but it is my favourite album that really sounds like the late 60s. It's a stunningly composed record, full of strings and horns and flamenco guitar arrangements, with incredible melodies and creative song structures. Basically, this is the best Beatles album you've never heard. Key track:Alone Again Or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPbNpIG8x_s *Illmatic* is probably the hip-hop community's consensus pick for best rap album of all time. Everything about this album is absolutely classic - it features some of the best rapping performances ever, most of the best producers of all time, and it's over before it loses any of it's lustre. In some ways, it's actually kind of a boring album to discuss because it's so flawless. But ranking the tracks is hard as hell, and should be very fun indeed. Key track:Halftime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjmrHOwm4tw I chose *Untrue* because recent electronic albums have actually been a surprising (to me, at least!) hit in these topics. All of Burial's music is incredibly nocturnal, melancholic, and evocative of a post-club walk home through the city at 3 am. This is the single biggest classic to emerge from the early dubstep/future garage movement, and in its own way it's as jam-packed full of landmark tracks as Illmatic is. Key track:Archangel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2qLD9c3Gq4 --- As far as Japanese Breakfast goes, I enjoyed this album when it came out, but Paprika completely overshadows the rest of the record for me. That was maybe my favourite song of last year, whereas the rest is more or less "just fine". Will re-listen and give a ranking in the coming days! --- And if you don't know, now you know. <cite>Giggsalot posted [p:965454450] in Rank the T...
