3x3 album wall

The Monitor is a brilliant choice! One of the best albums from 2010

American Idiot is a truly fantastic album.

Titus Andronicus, lovely! Also, The Suburbs? Hell yeah.

yessss

Yeah American Idiot has been a favorite of mine since I was just a lad... Ive just gotten in to Titus Andronicus recently though, the Monitor is incredible

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, too. Love that album.

NMH, holla. Love it so much. I think Two Headed Boy Pt 2 is my favorite

That's a brave choice! I see it as their second weakest album ahead of Pull the Pin

Upon reflection it is safe to say that Stereophonics just may be the band I've liked for the most amount of time, and yet know the least about. I was 7 years old when I heard Dakota for the first time, as it was receiving a huge amount of airplay in New Zealand, I kept hearing it everywhere and referred to it as the "Made Me Feel Like The One Song," and this was the first song I'd ever loved. A year later when I finally discovered music and was getting the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana, I kind of forgot about Dakota. Then when I was about 10 I remembered the lyrics to that song I used to like when I was 7 but couldn't for the life of me remember the name. I eventually found it, and dived a bit deeper and started listening to the other singles. The ones I liked the most such as Maybe Tomorrow, Madame Helga, and Movie Star were all off of Gotta Go There To Come Back.

So I went on a couple of more years listening to all the singles and then one day I was on Spotify going back and listening to all the music I used to like. Most of it was diabolical, talentless pop-punk which I dare not repeat on here, but one of the songs was Maybe Tomorrow, and then I noticed all the other songs I liked where on the same album. Listened to the whole thing and just thought as a whole the album was phenominal. I'm a huge Garage Rock/Modern Day Blues Rock fan and so tracks like Jealousy, Help Me (She's Out Of Her Mind), High As The Ceiling just made me think **** The Black Keys, this is where it's at. I also love the moody, acoustic songs that make up the other half of the album such as Maybe Tomorrow (which I already knew), and I'm Alright. Every song on that album is either a hard out rock tune or a heartbreak tune that makes you do some deep thinking. And that's what makes it so brilliant is how well the two blend together.

I'll be honest in saying that You Gotta Go There To Come Back is the only Stereophonics album I know that well. I've listened to Language, Sex, Violence, Other? and Just Enough Education To Perform enough to know that I like them. And I can name a few tracks from the first two albums, but the only thing I know about Pull the Pin is that a B-Side to Pass The Buck (one of the singles from that album) is the most phenomenal cover of Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter you will ever hear, that just shows how much Kelly Jones is the greatest vocalist in modern rock music. Even better than Brian Fallon in my opinion.

Saw TA live last month opening for The Hold Steady. Was almost as bad as seeing a DJ Set, and I even like well now lik-ed a few of their tracks before I saw them live.

the loved ones, without a doubt. i love hauses solo work, but the band is first.

Honorable mention: All of Tegan and Sara's Albums

Pinkerton is so badass, by far my favorite Weezer album. And Sam's Town is the one no one talks about, but thats really a great album too. good stuff, good stuff

I strongly believe Pinkerton is the greatest album of the 90's.

Hause doesn't have the capabilities for a stable solo album in my opinion

My girlfriend got me into them a while back. They are so talented.

Darkness on the edge of town, nice.

Speaking of Elsie, I just found out that my great grandmother was named Elsie. I might just pass that name on to a daughter if I ever have one, it's a pretty name.

They are! I always try to tell people about them, but very few people give them a chance. Some of their songs are just heartwrenching.

I can respect that. Just make sure you listen to Word Gets Around properly. It's fantastic.

I'm onto it now. I recognize the opening 5 tracks, but most of the album is new to me.

Hard choice though
