ITT: Albums that should be in the Library Of Cogress

>>69218832
Are you retarded

Murmur

arguably the most important album for the development of alternative rock

>>69218861
No

>>69218832
Definitely not this overrated LP.

>>69219036
What?

>OPN
>important
Huh
>Huh
Huh

>>69219036
You're right, R+7 is better. Returnal is still great though.

OPN is and will forever remain the only person I fanboy over.

Is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in yet? honest question.

Is this the thread where we post albums we like without regard for whether or not they're culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States?

stooges discography

>>69218832
His is this album culturally, historically or aesthetically important to the U.S.?
If this is bait, good job I suppose

TVU&N

theres a difference between an album you like and an album that is culturally important

>>69218884
This

>>69218832

>>69223366
TMR is already in there.

>>69222124

Hey Lopatin. Can you stop posting today. Nobody really likes you. Your work is dull and your Eccojams remaster is really pathetic.

Pretty obvious one here.

>>69218832
>Radiohead, U2, and Pink Floyd
What the fuck does this have to do with American culture?

>>69223305
End yourself.

>>69218884
Are you kidding? Sonic Youth is way more influential than R.E.M.

>>69227633
All 3 of those bands had huge followings here

>>69222124

>Shittiest album ever made.
bad opinion

you start op

remember guys, this list is for albums that have had an impact on american media and culture. your /mu/core albums might be your favorite, but they didn't have a major impact on the direction of music like a majority of this list had.

>>69218884
Agreed, though "Radio Free Europe" is listed in the registry as a single

>>69225824
>>69227712
Daydream Nation is already in the registry you silly willies

>>69218884
>>69225066
>>69227616
only albums ITT that have actually had a real impact on the direction of popular music. step it up /mu/

I'm surprised theres no neil young on the list

>>69228432

Kind of surprised it isn't in there already. There's better, there's worse, there's more well-sold, there's a lot of things. But this is definitely very, very influential.

This is probably the most recent album that belongs on this list.

Other stuff that's not on there but should be: In the Court of the Crimson King, Unknown Pleasures, and >>69231227

>>69231158
autechre are from the UK though...

>>69221216

>>69231368
I thought they had to be American?

Unknown Pleasures for sure

>>69231513
not necessarily, there's plenty on the list that aren't american by origin

Is This It

Just read the list, some of the albums currently there don't seem like they belong. The original Broadway Recording of Sweeney Todd? Why? It's good but like... damn...

>>69220936
>Returnal is still great though

That's Replica you tard

>>69231930
Not even Odelay needs to be in that library

>>69232090
I feel like Beck is a pretty respectable American artist that's left his mark here. Sea Change is probably his best work but I feel Modern Guilt would be a good fit for the project.

One other I'm pretty content should be in the library. The backlash towards this upon its release was enormous, it's the reason why we have parental advisory stickers on music now.

>>69223513
Master of Puppets is also listed as pop.

>>69228432
Yeah an interview with some baseball players influenced music.

fUCK OFF KID

>>69232434
The Doors are the epitome of the self-absorbed messianic wannabe vacuum of the late 60s.

Morrison's vocals and lyrics are incredibly dull and the background "music" is a cacophony of the most horrific electric organ stabbing into your skull like a rusty icepick over and over. They're only revered cause Jim Morrison died young.

>>69232615
Skrillex turned dubstep from a relatively unknown genre to a household name. It's been inescapable from pop culture ever since, many artists still trying to incorporate the sound into their music. Body Count's backlash caused question into what's deemed appropriate to be released on record shelves in public stores, being the purpose for the parental advisory stickers to be created; something nearly every album with vulgarity of any sort has been stuck with ever since, even on that Skrillex album I posted. Both are pretty significant changes to media, music and pop culture.

Some things I can see being added later
Kendrick Lamar- TPAB or GKMC
Pixies- Surfer Rosa or Doolittle, or maybe just "Where Is My Mind?" As a single
Green Day- Dookie or American Idiot
Gorillaz- Demon Days or "Feel Good Inc." as a single
Korn's s/t, Deftones- Around The Fur, or some other early nu metal
Jimmy Eat World- Bleed American or "The Middle" as a single
The Killers- Hot Fuss

>>69233385
>The Killers
That would also just have a single

>>69233392
All of the first 5 tracks on the album were big radio hits, so I didn't pick one single. It would probably have to be "Somebody Told Me", though

>>69227761
the song human sadness is the only good song from them xD

>>69218832
Can you please stop posting this? I love this album but I'm sick of seeing it here everyday
