5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
1
Decadence, Head Automatica
Weird, wonderful, and a little rough around the edges. I remember listening for the first time and just being enamored by Daryl’s signature vocal swagger over psychedelic pop/funk tracks. Listening to the album feels like being in some neon-noir futuristic city or something.
2
Futures, Jimmy Eat World
I love pretty much every Jimmy Eat World album, but Futures takes me to a time and a place in my life where listening with the windows down meant freedom, so these songs hold a really special place in my heart. It’s also just such a well-written, well-produced record, top to bottom.
3
The Carter 2, Lil Wayne
Quite possibly my favorite rap album of all-time. Lil Wayne has always been one of the greatest to do it, and on this record you can hear him becoming just that. It’s a classic.
4
Revolver, The Beatles
I love the Beatles. I grew up on the Beatles. They have always been a mainstay in my house. It’s hard to lock in on one specific record but the more I jump around their catalogue the more I find myself coming back to Revolver. “Eleanor Rigby” was the first song to ever make me emotional. I believe I was around five years old; too young to understand the depth of the lyrics, but aware enough to know that the song carried an emotional weight that landed with me even then.
5
Rumours, Fleetwood Mac
Thirty-nine minutes of absolute songwriting perfection. I look to this album like a “how-to” for good, solid song structure.
