I didn't see any Neutral Milk Hotel, but I see what you're saying.

 

Just for you.

Pink Floyd-DSOTM

Daft Punk-Discovery and Homework

Neutral Milk Hotel- In an airplane over the sea

Flaming Lips- Yoshime Battles Pink Robots

I've decided to revisit this thread with something I discovered recently

 

Ry Cooder & VM Bhatt - A Meeting By The River

This won an Emmy back in the 90s and rightly so. Wonderfully intimate recording of some incredible improvised music. Instant Desert Island disc for me.

^ Went to Amazon to listen to clips. Excellent.

I'm gonna leave my fanboy choices out (Massive Attack, Flying Lotus, Gorillaz, etc)

 

 

Reroute to Remain :: In Flames

 

Black Sands :: Bonobo

 

Let it Die :: Feist

 

any RJD2 album IMO.

 

Off the top of my head, based on what I've been listening to lately.

 

Appeal to Reason - Rise Against

Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace - Foo Fighters

 

I'm just saying these because I love all the songs on the album, and if there isn't one I'm not completely thrilled with, I probably haven't given it a proper listening to.

Hmm, while there are a couple for me, my main one is The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails.

 

Yes, that even includes "Big Man With A Gun". Sure, it might be disappointing if you just listen to it by itself, but it fits in perfectly when listening to it when playing the entire album.

Awesome underrated record.
