Now post your favourites here and don't be shy. There is no hipster pressure here, and nobody will accuse you for being a hipster. Right?

A pretty big example is hipsters who are into In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral milk Hotel (a 1998 album rereleased in 2005 or so). It was never cool, and even the people who listenned to it in 1998 (myself included) have moved on. They love this kind of thing, especially since most of them are 14 and the album has the lyric "semen stains the mountain tops".

IMO this sort of thing is just a phase for these people, and they are every bit as impressionable about their "tastes" as most people who get their favourite songs from hits on the radio, they just don't like to admit it.

Is this really necessary?

Favorite: Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible
Second favorite: Beck - Sea Change

Seriously, an entire decade.. there's a very great many stellar albums excluded here. Probably some, escaping my memory, that I enjoyed more than the two I listed.. and even more yet that I've yet to hear.
