^ am I the only one who sees what other people like and then checks out some tracks?

You're doing it right. Heard anything that you hadn't heard before but enjoyed in the thread so far?

From yours, I enjoyed a bit of Out to Lunch, although its style is such that it's difficult for me to gauge if I really appreciate it yet; it needs a good hard listen. Frustratingly on my medium of choice for listening to new music (YouTube) I was struggling to find a lot of stuff. Hot Rats, for example. Which is sad because I've always meant to explore Zappa, and the orchestral version of Peaches en Regalia I did find was nice.

I'm more easily grabbed by poppier noise, so I was pretty delighted with Foxygen, obvious that it is that they are not terribly original. But half the problem is that I need a few exposures to a lot of music before I latch onto it.

Since everybody else is listing as many albums as they want, I'll throw in a few more:

The Knife - Shaking the Habitual
Beatles - Sgt Peppers etc
Circle Takes the  Square - self titled
Beulah - When Your Heartstrings Break
Streetlight Manifesto - Keasbey  Nights
of Montreal - actually almost every album is distinct and wonderful.. but to give you an idea, try Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? and then some of his cute older stuff (Gay Parade, also Coquielicot Asleep in the Poppies is so much strange) and a bit of Satanic Panic in the Attic to finish.

I think it's masterful and one of the best hip-hop albums of all time.
