The Albums you have to buy not matter what ......

voxpop

so what are the albums you just have to buy now - not what you would recommend!!!(plenty of those threads already,as a mod will prob say!)

you konw you just heard "a band" on tv/radio/net and now you MUST have the album,no buying off cdwow or play- this is pure indulgance - the album you gotta have

These are the albums "YOU MUST HAVE NOW"!!!!!!



EDIT: basquille: changed the rules after you posted - feel free to update

Basq

I'll pick 5:

Counting Crows - August And Everything After
Radiohead - The Bends
Radiohead - OK Computer
Jeff Buckley - Grace
The Postal Service - Give Up

.. quite a diverse mix there.. enjoy!

PS - i already have all these albums. I thought of this thread as more of a recommendation for albums than anything else. Sorry if i misinterpreted it!

voxpop

ive just heard "arcade fire" on recorded jools(from a while ago).. i tomorrow I'll get the album - they sound good but theres more .........

No.. as i said in the edit... these are all the albums i consider that you have to buy.

Kinda misread the title... thought it was a recommendation thread to other people!

The Postal Service album is fantastic! Nothing like The Thrills.... more like The Flaming Lips than anyone, i guess. But very unique.

voxpop

yeah its more of a "i've just heard this band and get the cd now" rather than a recommendations thread. Like a this is the newest goode album to me - everyone should have it !!! that sort of thing


@postal service
heard some from the offical net stuff and they ( lead singer) shound like the thrills - if you think the flaming lips(legend), i will have them check out!

Top of my list would be Kid A which I haven't got round to yet.

Also I'd like to get the White Stripes new one. Also the Bravery's album I heard is pretty good.

PiE

The Postal Service, it's singer and everything to related to him bear absolutely no resemblence to anything remotely Thrills-like. Thank f*ck.

Hope of the States - 'The Lost Riots'

jcoote

pink floyd - dark side of the moon and the wall
oasis- definatly maybe
nirvana - nevermind
audioslves 2 albums
rage against the machine
the essential jam
dire straits - best of
tom petty - any album

DamoRed

I've very seldom had any thrills from the postal service! UPS turning up at the door, that's a different matter!


There's only so much banjo twanging one can stand and halfway through any of theirs is beyond the limit. Or a couple of seconds while you reach for the tuning preset button would be more realistic.

But I digress, I honestly haven't heard anything in the last few weeks that I HAVE to get NOW!


Damo

Geiger

Here's a few:

Queensryche - Operation Livecrime

'Tis called Operation Mindcrime and is a highly overrated album imo. Major disappointment.

If you want 80's metal you should check out Dokken.

I wanna get some stuff by Nirvana (old, good Nirvana), 13th Floor Elevators, Zappa, 2112 by Rush, the list goes on but the money don't roll in :sigh:

Creamy Goodness

weezer - The Blue Album
weezer - Pinkerton

Well there's nothing I HAVE to buy at the moment. I have bought a load of things I've never heard before and am currently waiting for them to be delivered.

Whatever_fools

KT Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope is pure genius - absolutely brilliant...10 out of 10 no doubt. Not one bad track on it.

treefingers

evryone should hear these though:

radiohead - kid a
dj shadow - endtroducing (just started listening to it again recently after its reissue reminded me - had forgotten how great is is!)
british sea power - either of their two.

that is all.

smoocher

the ones i have to get are prob the bravery(heard a few tracks, sounds quite good) and Kt Tunstall( lovin her at the mo)

the ones people should have are
pixies-doolittle
" "- surfer rosa
pixies - bossanova
smashing pumkins- siamese dream
the verve- urban hymns

these havent been mentioned yet but they're well worth a listen!!

Have you got the new Flaming Lips DVD?

Jonny Arson

If anyone is looking for a newer release try out Rilo Kiley's ''More Adventurous.''

No just buy the album. The best 18 euro I've spent this year.
