15 albums in 15 minutes is what I’m aiming for here. I think the idea is to pick the 15 albums that define me and have stayed with me through the years, but I have a feeling this is going to concentrate on my late teens/early 20s more than it probably should.
So here goes…
- Lloyd Cole and the Commotions – Mainstream
- Sonic Youth – Daydream Nation
- The Cure – Disintegration
- Pixies – Surfer Rosa
- Pixies – Doolittle
- Joy Division – Closer
- The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses
- Rage Against the Machine – Rage Against the Machine
- R.E.M – Automatic for the People
- Manic Street Preachers – Gold Against the Soul
- Manic Street Preachers – The Holy Bible
- Jim O’Rourke – Bad Timing
- The Beta Band – The Three EPs
- Radiohead – Kid A
- The Arcade Fire – Funeral
I could easily name another 15, and may very well change my mind on a lot of these by tomorrow.
