The Stooges - Funhouse
It's often said that this is the best rock album ever. I don't know about that, but it's certainly leaves the fewest survivors. Protopunk at its best, with free jazz influence on the B side.
Atlas Sound - Logos
Bradford Cox always makes amazing music, whether it's with Deerhunter or this solo project, which features Noah Lennox of Animal Collective and Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab.
Joy Division - Closer
No one will argue that this is the most joyful record in the world. Regardless, there are times where I want to be put in the claustrophobic vice of their rhythm section and free form guitars and just let Ian Curtis's monotone voice crush me.
The Velvet Underground and Nico
If you haven't heard this record, listen to it now.
Beach House - Teen Dream
I completely let this slip by me during the last calendar year. I thought, "Eh, what's the big deal?" I listened to it a few days ago and was ashamed of myself.
