That's funny dude...I almost put down "Seas of Cheese", but I had to put "Master of Puppets" on there instead. "Aenima" is a great choice, too.

Aenema could kill my mom. I love that record.

3 Fav RECORDINGS:

1. Lennon - Plastic Ono Band
Phil Spector's finest hour. Brutal, raw, ugly and beautiful, all at the same time.

2. Big Star - 3rd/Sister Lovers
Amazing record. Jim Dickinson shapes a sonic chaos with Alex Chilton in the studio whilst engineer John Fry meticulously records everything with a haunting, crystalline sheen.

3. Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Jaw-droppingly beautiful. One of the definitive illustrations of "distant" recording techniques. Engineered by Phill Brown, one of my all-time faves.

Three is impossible. Five, maybe.

I'll say

OP8 Featuring Lisa Germano - I guess it's called Sand: recorded at Wavelab, just a really interesting recording with great songs and performances.

Songs of the Inuit: this is an album of Inuit throat singing. They sing into each others mouths, both on the exhale and the inhale. It prompted a speaker salesman to say "this is the weirdest thing I've ever heard". (He later said that "Shania Twain is good for checking out speakers because it's professionally mixed... and she's HOT". geez.. Oh but since I'm in a parenthetical statement I can say that Shania Twain's Greatest Hits is in my top twenty)

WELL SHIT. MILES DAVIS KIND OF BLUE.

edit: it's actually OP8 featuring Lisa Germano - Slush

1. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

2. The White Album - The Beatles

3. Black Foliage: Animation Music Vol. 1 - The Olivia Tremor Control

pet sounds
smile 67'
plastic ono band-remastered version
-about that, anyone agree that the remaster sounds better? i mean, of fucking course remasters are going to sound better, but remastering can also take a little bit of the orignal album away, but i much prefer the remaster of plastic ono band, it brings out the intensity...especially 'well well well'...the bass & drums in that song are like punches to the stomach

Hard to keep it to 3, but here's some of my favs that I don't think have been mentioned:

Miles Davis - Porgy and Bess
Willie Nelson - Teatro
Suzanne Vega - Nine Objects of Desire

-Kenny D
