Let's Talk Music

I have a few albums I feel like recommending to the general audience.

• "Arthur or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire" by The Kinks. Everyone always freaks out over the Beatles films and crap like Across the Universe. Listen to this and wonder why no one ever picked it up again for a film like it was originally meant to be.
• "New Day Rising" by Husker Du. Most say that "Zen Acarcade" was their best album, but I disagree. I'd say this is their best and "59 Times The Pain" is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard while still sounding brutal.
• "Sea Change" by Beck. This was a major part of my soundtrack to life post-breakup. Probably his most serious album, no tricks or weirdness.
• "There Will Be Blood: The Original Soundtrack" by Jonny Greenwood. If you know your Radiohead, then you know who Jonny Greenwood is. Hard to believe he composed this intense score.
• "Emerald City" by John Vanderslice. This album is about life with 9/11 looming all over it. The first track is filled with great imagery, yet simplistic.

We'll see how this goes.
