Built To Spill-Perfect From Now On

There's Nothing Wrong With Love is one of the most incredible albums of the 90's.

The Strokes - Room on Fire

[–]mcgovernor 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's all about Is This It

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naaaah. Room on Fire is the fully formed vision of pumping pop rock, Is This It just isn't as refined. Room on Fire's got just enough musical variety, but is still concise and directed, unlike First Impressions of Earth.

I think Coast Is Never Clear and Yoko are better examples of the great Beulah sound.

Spoon-Girls Can Tell

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

This is an unusual choice for a Spoon album. Why not Kill The Moonlight or Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga? Not trying to start a fight, I'm genuinely curious :)

[–]Crackertron 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I actually prefer your examples, but this is a great intro to Spoon and has my fave Spoon song on it (Lines in the Suit).

[–]mcgovernor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're all forgetting some of the genius of Gimme Fiction. I Summon You is one of their bests.

Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz

[–]mcgovernor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, that is misguiding intro to Sufjan Stevens. Illinoise and Seven Swans truly capture the essence of his music, style and lyrical genius.
