Album of the week suggestions

John

Please post your suggestions for album of the week here. I'm going to make an archive thread with a list of past albums of the week so check there before posting a suggestion to avoid unnecessary repetition.

Try not to suggest a load of really obscure things, it's not much fun if only two people are interested in a thread.

The current album of the week will be stickied but there will be links to each of the old ones in the archive thread.

Let the suggestions begin!

odhran

I'm playing lots of In case we Die by Architecture in Helsinki at the moment.

certain people

i'm listening to the arctic monkeys too, tis out on the 23rd and it's brilliant, definitely well worth the investment. Title is "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not".

Nimrod's Son

Radiator By Super Furry Animals and Echo Park by Feeder. Two of the all-time greats.

RE*AC*TOR

Try not to pick obscure things? Well if you consider My Bloody Valentine not to be obscure, then anything I suggest should also fit withing that bracket.

Neil Young - On The Beach
At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command
AC/DC - Back In Black
Ryan Adams - Gold
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel

there's a few to get you started.

Thirded(Is that a word?)

There should be something by Sonic Youth, Sister's already been suggested, but I'd be more of a Daydream Nation fan myself, either will do

I second that! Daydream Nation and diRty are my personal favourites.

December Son

Uzername

I am Kloot - Gods & Monsters
Elbow - Leaders of the Free World
Neil Young - Praire Wind
Tim Buckley - Look at the Fool

Cheers

Turn-Turn
Radiohead-The Bends
The Strokes-First Impressions of Earth

Jimi-Spandex

I'd like to second/third/fourth Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

I'd also like to nominate;

AFX - Hangable Auto Bulb

Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die



A couple of side points
Should the albums be only in the vague confinds of "Alt/Indie"
Should we limit nominations to recent albums?
Limit the number of votes per person per week?

That's kinda cheating seeing as it's just two hard to find 12"s cobbled together on one CD.

What about

I Care Because You Do
or
Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves [my favourite RDJ record]

Alt/Indie is such a vague term that anything that you can fit under it is fair game.

Should we limit nominations to recent albums?

No, a mix old and new was the whole point of the threads. I'd like to see a classic one week and a new release the next.

Limit the number of votes per person per week?

Nah, just keep them coming!

AIH - In Case We Die top album!!

hockey bilboa

Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene

considering the week it is!

smackbunnybaby

i second the broken social scene one, with the gig coming up as well

Ilac

Pearl Jam - VS, or any other PJ album

Billy Corgan - The Future Embrace (did anybody like it?)

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Something by Tool? NIN?

lucernarian

Agree with those Ilac, especially Hail to the Thief. NIN would be interesting, their latest fare "With Teeth" is good.

Brother To God

1-whipping boy -heartworm
2-trans am - liberation
3-fugazi - the arguement
4-do make say think - goodbye enemy airship
5-broken social scene - broken social scene

Feu

I suppose nominally you're trying to tread the line between what a fair few people might have heard, and trying to suggest some listening to open people up?


The Open - The Silent Hours. It's an absolute cracker from beginning to end.

Gold - Ryan Adams. As above!

The Strokes - Is This it

Gomez - Abandoned Shopping

Doves - The last Broadcast

Cymande - The Message [obviously quite an outside chance!!!]

matc66

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - Ballad of the Broken Seas
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell

odhran

Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Fever To Tell (My personal all-time favourite)
I'm also loving Broken Social Scene at the moment

endoftheline

i know i am but a noob but anyways
the stone roses-the stone roses (don't know if it falls into alt/indie but if radiohead does surely they do no??)
the moldy peaches-the moldy peaches
devendra banhart-nino rojo (every1 should really know him)
willy mason-where the human's eat (already mentioned i believe, but it's a good un)
clap your hands say yeah-cyhsy
the shins-oh inverted world (the better of the 2 albums in my humble opinion)

JLemmon

Spirit of Eden - Talk Talk
Laughing Stock - Talk Talk
Let Love in - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Tender Prey - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Mr Beast - Mogwai
Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
