#1 Album You Recommend

[liquideasy]

This is not a thread about your favorite album of all time. If you were to recommend one or two albums to someone you barely know, what would it be? I was listen to "Everything In Transit" by Jack's Mannequin, and I think that just an album everyone in the world should hear. Any more suggestions?

[TheReckoner]

I would suggest Horn of Plenty- Grizzly Bear
Or Feels- Animal Collective.

[bard]

mewithoutYou - catch for us the foxes

perfect album

[Charles777]

Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want To Be

[fly_guy]

The Early November - The Room's Too Cold

[Jeffubus]

Head Automatica - Decadence

[DCfreak]

Everytime I mention that I like Jimmy Eat World to someone that listens to mainstream rock they say, "oh yeah the middle was pretty good." Makes me shake my head... sooo Def. Clarity would be the album I recommend the most.

Recently however? Lots of me friends liked the format but apparently didn't catch the bus with fun. It seems I recommend Aim and Ignite on a weekly basis.

[mulcahy67]

Joy Division - Closer

[MADSTA]

Depends on what they like.

[zonto]

Bottom Line - Eloquence

[Simulcast]

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare

[TangledUp]

Yeah it depends on what type of music they like.. bc I'd recommend different ones depending on their preferences.

Muse - Black Holes And Revelations
Weezer - Raditude

At this very moment.

[Klatzke]

Wintersleep - Welcome to the Night Sky

[MT2K]

Brand New - The Devil And God...
At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command

If I had no knowledge about indie music, I guess this is 2 albums who would blow my mind and open up my curiosity for non-mainstream music. This is 2 albums that I recommend for radio only listeners.

[wroteurname]

Yeah it depends on what type of music they like.. bc I'd recommend different ones depending on their preferences.

Muse - Black Holes And Revelations
Weezer - Raditude

At this very moment.

I can't believe how bad that is. I love "If You're Wondering..." and I was hoping they'd stay with that style for the rest of the album and NOPE.

[sweepthenation]

Underoath - Define The Great Line
Cartel - Chroma

[AP_Punk]

right now

Lucero - 1372 Overton Park
Amy LaVere - Anchors and Anvils

[liquideasy]

Everytime I mention that I like Jimmy Eat World to someone that listens to mainstream rock they say, "oh yeah the middle was pretty good." Makes me shake my head... sooo Def. Clarity would be the album I recommend the most.

[AntiCult]

Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance

[Viva Sonata]

The Cambiata - To Heal EP
The Cambiata - Self-titled.

[oddwithoutend]

Probably Either/Or, Left and Leaving, Mirrored, Our Endless Numbered Days, or In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.

[Battle Hymns]

Driver F - Chase the White Whale

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Funeral I guess.

I'll recommended this too.

[oddwithoutend]

Why would I be recommending an album to somebody I barely know?

Yeah, I'd at least have to know something about their taste for a recommendation to even be worthwhile.

[bradsonemanband]

jimmy eat world - clarity

[bard]

Yeah it depends on what type of music they like.. bc I'd recommend different ones depending on their preferences.

Muse - Black Holes And Revelations

i'm a huge weezer fan, haven't been let down by any of their albums, until i heard raditude. it's all crap.
Why would I be recommending an album to somebody I barely know?
most everyone on here does this everyday.... to help someone open their mind/ears to something that is good and they might've never heard.

[love_american_style]

Far - Water and Solutions

[owiseone35]

Wild Sweet Orange- We Have Cause To Be Uneasy

[Captain Awesome]

I'd recommend Stay What You Are by Saves The Day and Nothing Gold Can Stay by New Found Glory.
Those are the two albums that led me to 98% of the bands I listen to today.

[fishguts182]

Bad astronaut - Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment

[Torimonster]

If you you're into hardcore stuff at all, or even just appreciate all types of music and are open-minded, I highly suggest LeATHERMOUTH's album, XO. It's an amazing band, they put so much energy into their music. (:

[prettyLUSH16]

Depending on what music your into, this can be hard.

The best Post-Hardcore album I've heard is Oceana's Birtheater.
That record is one of the most unique, darkest, and emotional pieces of music i have ever listened to.

Hardcore- Every Time I Die: New Junk Aesthetic
Pop-punk- Jimmy Eat World: Clarity and Futures
Hip-Hop- Kud Cudi: Man on the Moon


just a couple random genres with really great albums from them.

[jared091]

I can't believe how bad that is. I love "If You're Wondering..." and I was hoping they'd stay with that style for the rest of the album and NOPE.

That's exactly how I felt with the Red album, I really liked Pork and Beans but when I heard the rest of the album it was depressing.

[yayitsjoe]

transatlanticism - death cab for cutie.

[SophGod]

Strung Out - Blackhawks Over Los Angeles

i immediately recommend those albums to anyone i first meet and discuss music with.

Something Corporate- Leaving Through the Window

or

Relient K- Mmhmm

Came in here to say these LTTW. Something Corporate is still an amazing band after all these years.

I also recommend bands based on what genre people typically like:
pop-rock: You Me at Six (such a talented band) - Take Off Your Colors, Anarbor - The NAtural Way EP
hardcore: Alexisonfire - Young Cardinals and Crisis, We Are the Ocean - We Are the Ocean EP
rock: Kings of Leon - Because of the Times
old-school: The Get Up Kids - Something to Write About
dance/electronic: Major Lazer - Guns Don't Kill People. . .Lazers Do

[Formatfun]

The Format - Dog Problems or Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Too hard to decide between.
If you you're into hardcore stuff at all, or even just appreciate all types of music and are open-minded, I highly suggest LeATHERMOUTH's album, XO. It's an amazing band, they put so much energy into their music. (:
Ya went to the trouble of saying LeATHERMOUTH, but not LeATHERMØUTH... and XØ.

[cinderandsmoke]

The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me by Brand New

No other record has ever had as big of an influence on me as this one has. It'd be cool if someone else took as much from it as I did.
I always reccomend "Sowing Season" and "Jesus Christ" to ease them into the album, then tell them to go get the whole record and be patient with it.

[DeadCityScars]

flaming lips - soft bulletin

most consistently good flaming lips album, track by track. the sound is like no other and the melodies get stuck in your head.

[Gleebo]

My favorite all time album is and probably always will be Silverchair's Diorama but it all depends on what kind of music the person is interested in.

Something Corporate - North and Leaving Through The Window
Saves the Day - Stay What You Are
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American, Stay on My Side Tonight EP

Third Eye Blind - s/t, Blue

The Dangerous Summer - Reach For The Sun
Every Time I Die - New Junk Esthetic
Fear Before

[SanePsychotic]

Good call. Bitches Brew is also worth a listen.




Your avatar. Great album, I have a shirt with that on it.

Anything Miles Davis is worth a listen. I just went with Kind of Blue since it's probably the most accessible.

[Metal Now]

mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister

[raychull]

I'd probably have to go with Deja, because it's really what shifted me over into what I listen now. Plus, I just think it's a great, solid album.

[justin1995]

i would recommend the 'Mark,Tom and Travis show'. It is a live album from Blink 182,it is nice and fun to listen.

[Hagysaurus Rex]

The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 Sound. A really accessible album regardless of what genre of rock/punk/whatever you're a fan of.

mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister

If choosing a mewithoutYou album, go with their best full length (A->B Life) or their first EP... they gradually lost their edge from that point on.

[Neo Cassady]

BRIGHT EYES - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning

I'd recommend either this, Cauterize's So Far From Real, or The Hold Steady's Boys and Girls in America, depending on what kind of music they like.

Because maybe you just came across them at a show or they wandered into your work and spoke to you. Any variety of reasons. This happens a lot.

I could stomach all of those on that list except Cobra. Even though none of those albums rank remotely close to the top of my list.

[mijakai]

Origin of Symmetry by Muse. (Closely followed by Deja and Futures by Jimmy Eat World).

[xJesusFreakx]

She seems nice, but I do not like :[

Huh. I love it; I think it's a beautiful, fun, and accurate painting of a young girl's mind, especially on highlight tracks "The Best Day," "The Way I Loved You," and "Fifteen." There are only a few songs I'm not particularly fond of.

[IWasaCamera]

[xJesusFreakx]

I feel as though this isn't even remotely related to anything at all, but it did make me hungry.

[bastard_of_ness]

Oh really? I wasn't aware that your opinion of what their best album is had anything to do with mine. Weird.

Don't get upset, chap. In all seriousness, if you like their harder edged stuff at all, find yourself their first EP (though a physical copy is unlikely as there were few). Their intesity during this era just blew me away. Not that they don't still have a powerful, quirky, and different sound, but being there during their inception was brilliant. Their early live shows were amazing.

I do, however, harbor a grudge with the band, seeing as their signing to T&N lead to the demise of my then favorite band, the Operation.

[Troggy]

This is not a thread about your favorite album of all time. If you were to recommend one or two albums to someone you barely know, what would it be? I was listen to "Everything In Transit" by Jack's Mannequin, and I think that just an album everyone in the world should hear. Any more suggestions?

I know. They're just albums that I like. Not trying to piss anyone off...

Next time, try following the directions at the beginning of the thread. I see you are new, though. I have been here long enough to not get enjoyment out of taunting every new kid with horrible taste that shows up here. However, the vast majority of AP members validate their music taste by insulting someone elses. If you want to talk about FBR bands, you can do so in their respective official threads (use the Search function if you have to). I hope you enjoy AP, just be warned there are a lot of e-deuchebags here.

Huh. I love it; I think it's a beautiful, fun, and accurate painting of a young girl's mind, especially on highlight tracks "The Best Day," "The Way I Loved You," and "Fifteen." There are only a few songs I'm not particularly fond of.

As much as I dislike all of the songs I have heard by her (between mainstream and country radio), she's just too cute to hate. Not even so cute I can hate her, just the right amount of cute. Kind of infuriating I suppose.

I know. They're just albums that I like. Not trying to piss anyone off...

You're not pissing me off, but listen to old Green Day (Kerplunk! or Dookie) and Paramore's All We Know is Falling. Pretty sure you'll think they're better than the ones you listed. If not, then, well, to each his/her own :shrug:

Next time, try following the directions at the beginning of the thread. I see you are new, though. I have been here long enough to not get enjoyment out of taunting every new kid with horrible taste that shows up here. However, the vast majority of AP members validate their music taste by insulting someone elses. If you want to talk about FBR bands, you can do so in their respective official threads (use the Search function if you have to). I hope you enjoy AP, just be warned there are a lot of e-deuchebags here.



As much as I dislike all of the songs I have heard by her (between mainstream and country radio), she's just too cute to hate. Not even so cute I can hate her, just the right amount of cute. Kind of infuriating I suppose.

Ha, absolutely. She has the perfect level of cute. Incredible, really. Almost seems to point to an Intelligent Designer...

P.S.: I still enjoy making fun of people for having "horrible" taste in music. When do you suppose I'll grow out of it?

[Troggy]

Ha, absolutely. She has the perfect level of cute. Incredible, really. Almost seems to point to an Intelligent Designer...

If her songs were good I would say yes, indeed it does. New DCB still owns.

I have been an AP member for over 4 years, so it might be a while for you.

[xJesusFreakx]

Indeed. I keep overplaying it, giving up on it, and then overplaying it again.

I have been an AP member for over 4 years, so it might be a while for you.

Still have another three, maybe three and a half years to go.

[circasuicide]

hard lesson learned @ ap.net: learn to like radiohead or learn to say you do.

...or pay. dearly.

this is a very subjective thread. you're essentially asking, not what album is the best of all time - as some are taking it, but what album means the most to you. for me, the devil and god are raging inside me means alot to me, so i naturally would want to pass that feeling along to someone else. if an album can heal you, in some way. or open you up again. it's amazing. sure, i see some albums on this thread and think, "...really?", but whatever. not everyone can like radiohead and sigur ros.

it's corny, but can't we just get along?

[Neo Cassady]

I don't like Radiohead. Boom! Roasted.

[circasuicide]

I don't like Radiohead. Boom! Roasted.

since you're from athens, i'll allow you to boom roast me. (im from cincy area originally.)

i have nothing against radiohead and sigur ros or their fans. im not a huge fan of the music, but i dont bash people who are. but generally, people who bash others for their musical tastes like at least one of those bands. its stupid.

Same here (with Radiohead; I'm a pretty big Sigur Ros fan)...I only have a problem with people who take issue with me not liking certain bands (e.g., Radiohead), and try to shove it down your throat that they're better than you for liking them. I don't chastise people for not liking Bright Eyes, or Sigur Ros, or any other band for that matter; if it's a band I truly think is shit (e.g., Hinder), I'll just stay out of the conversation. To me, music is like beer: you drink Blue Moon, I drink Sam Adams, but they're each refreshing to the respective drinker. Of course, in this analogy, Hinder is Natty.

tl;dr I silently judge people.


And I'm actually from Oxford (hence the avatar); I'm only in Athens because (a) my fiancee goes to grad school here, and (b) I work near here.

[circasuicide]

My favorite all time album is and probably always will be Silverchair's Diorama but it all depends on what kind of music the person is interested in.

Something Corporate - North and Leaving Through The Window
Saves the Day - Stay What You Are
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American, Stay on My Side Tonight EP
Say Anything - ....Is A Real Boy
Third Eye Blind - s/t, Blue
Oasis - [What's The Story] Morning Glory, Be Here Now
amazing album.

as a recovering addict, this is kinda hypocritical to say i suppose, but i also hate when alot of radiohead and sigur ros fans are synonomusly potheads. i remember the guy from the starting line saying he gets stoned and writes and that kind of mentality personally turns me off.

[circasuicide]

1st Thrice: Vheissu MUST MUST HAVE!
2nd Thursday: War All The Time
3rd Senses Fail : Still Seraching
4th The Recieving End Of Sirens: Between The Heart And The Synapse
the first verse of the album gives me chills.

[liquideasy]

You know who surprised me? There For Tomorrow. I normally do not listen to bands like that, but their CD is pretty awesome.

Oh, and Make Yourself by Incubus. That one is just a classic.

It's kind of hypocritical for me to agree with you, since I tend to drink a lot while I'm writing, and one of my favorite pieces was written during a blackout in college. But I HATE when I say I listen to certain bands (or watch certain movies) and I get suggestions like "you should watch that when you're high! It's soooooo much better!"

yeah, i have also written some great stuff lyrically while on oxycontin. i think pot for some reason is particularly a turn off to me if i hear a writer or singer smokes it and writes. i dont know why. and like you said, dont tell me to torch up and listen to something.

[End of Disc One]

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands and I've never smoked in my life.

[summer skin]

i only like sigur ros because I'm addicted to pot.

Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
The Horrors - Primary Colours
My Chemical Romance - I Brought You My Bullet, You Brought Me Your Love
Matt & Kim - Grand

Those records are usually in constant rotation for me.

[AttackAttack!]

The one problem with "recommending" is people mainly go "okay what is my favorite that I want to post." So many people like many different things. If I had to honestly search for an all around band, that has a genre many people could enjoy, TangledUp said it, Muse - Black Holes And Revelations.

No disrespect that you would have that opinion. Which bands persay do you think have done TDWP, but better?

[tipoftheiceberg]

to me tdwp kinda takes things from many different bands in the genre. they're talented guys for sure, i just can't say i care for them.

you know, you kinda pwnd me here. as palahniuk put it, "everything is a copy of a copy of a copy." i can't just call out one band because they aren't reinventing the genre.

but if i had to mention a few bands i feel do it better
still remains, underoath, parkway drive, hell even miss may i

That is true.
You certainly aren't like other douches who are immediate to bash the band.
I know some others on here who'll do that shit.
I can't exactly listen to the other ones you think you are better at the moment, considering you can't name them, but oh well, no worries.
I just have always liked their vocals, and drum collaboration, along with the guitars. Just something about them I guess, (them specifically) that I really enjoyed. Not to say, other bands are total shit. I just take a big liking in The Devil Wears Prada.
