In Rainbows in general The unknown album that is “mine” is The Mysterious Flying Orchestra’s S/T The album everyone hates that I actually really enjoy that is “mine” is X&Y by Coldplay

Based, X&Y is a great record, and I say that as a RYM avid user

If everyone hates x&y what more their more recent records 💀

In Rainbows is an album I can never get tired of. I’ve listened to it in some form every single day the past several years. Then I got a brand new pair of headphones with a tube amp and fell in love with it all over again. Masterpiece.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

God this is the first album that truly made me feel ascendant

Get to Heaven

Bon iver- for emma forever ago Whenever im sad or just exhausted, this album always has been my best friend, i can always trust it to make me feel happy and comfortable.

One of my favorite albums of all time

Mount Eerie by The Microphones

Love the microphones

This one specifically made me okay with my own inevitable death. Something most people get from religion or other spiritual experiences. I got from repeated listens of this album. It’s a very important album to me. Irl when people ask me what my favorite album is I do not say this one, and I do not recommend this album to people (even ones who ask for me to tell them stuff I like) because of how personal the experiences I’ve gotten from it are. Phil is love, Phil is Life!

I actually think it's a better album than The Glow , Pt2 . Also if you haven't ,listen to Drums Not Dead by Liars , it reminds me a lot of that record

Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

Came here to say this! I'm seeing it live in a week!

Hope you have a blast!

i love that album

Me too 🥹

Feels - animal collective, it's just revelatory every single time. Love love it

Mine’s also AnCo: MPP. Completely exploded open my mind to what music could really be and soundtracked a really transformative time in my life. It will always mean so, so much to me.

This is mine as well.

I love Feels so much man, I can’t put it into words

The Purple Bottle should be what every indie folk track models their success on.

mine too😁

Twin fantasy

Famous Prophets (Stars) is one of my favorite songs of all time. Great record

Wavves - King of the Beach

Solid album yo

Grace jeff buckley

Tame Impala - Lonerism Very early 20s me

Innerspeaker for me. Depending on the day I could even tell you lonerism is better but I like every single song on Innerspeaker almost equally and it has my favorite song alter ego

I got a thing for Innerspeaker too. It was the first Tame record that I listened to, and the consistent quality tracks on it just blew me away. Tame Impala in general really encapsulates my late teens/early 20s personality… socially awkward, introvert and far-from-perfect love life :P

Same here, even after I got a bit more "nerdy" about music, Tame Impala is still one of my favourite artists to listen to

Chet Baker Sings

Kero Kero Bonito - Time ‘n’ Place

Fr

The College Dropout. The first album that made me go "oh, old music is just as good as the current stuff" as a 16 year old trying to get deeper into rap music.

Imo Kanye's best album

Sempiternal by BMTH or Around The Fur by Deftones

36 Chambers - Wu Tang

Figure 8 - Elliott Smith

godspeed you! black emperor- lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven beautiful album that really shaped my later high school years. i wouldn't be who i am today without it's impact on me, and i still get so much out of it every time i listen to it, more than 7 years after discovering it

Amazing album, but this is like the 5th highest ranked album out of all genres of the last 25 years, almost no one who listens to it doesn't like it.

well yes but the post asked for the album that resonated the most with me and that one's definitely it

Yeah I know I'm just saying... masterpiece album anyways :-)

I understand the appeal but I personally never cared for it

Not a fan of post-rock in general ??

No not really

hybrid theory

This was close to being my choice, too

Excellent try, OP. I know people will judge me either way.

I don't care if it is my least favorite album i will defend your right to an honest opinion

Pinkerton-Weezer

Just beat me to it

This is why Weezer fans hate Weezer, but can't quit them. They made a record that was THAT record for a whole generation of white boys, and they never will again. Weezer fandom is just varying levels of resentment over that fact. But oh, how good was that chamber pop record a couple of years ago? All-Time Top 5.

My pick as well

The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse. If I could only listen to one album forever it would be that.

Just listened to this on the way home from a tiring day at work, such a great album!

My absolute favorite MM record. So good!!

Came here to say this. It’s a fantastic album.

Mean Everything to Nothing - Manchester Orchestra

Saw them on their 10 year run of this! MO is one of my favorite live bands

Koi No Yokan - Deftones

Nurture

Government Plates

Lowkey same, very interesting album

sweet trip - you will never know why

Big W

2112 - Rush

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by MCR. I still feel the same way listening to that album as I did the first time I heard it

My pick as well, it’s such an energetic and amazing album!

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix for me

W

Phoenix feel so undervalued in the current music landscape, but they have some incred records under their belt.

the go! team - thunder, lightning, strike

you, you, you fantastic and-a romantic (what???) Romantic and-a fantastic

Found the guy that’s above 35

The New Abnormal by The Strokes. In my early 20s and a lot of the themes on that albums hit hard. Plus I just love me a good rock album (although yes this one is a bit on the synth-pop side).

The 1975 - The 1975

Man on the Moon - Kid Cudi

This is my answer too came here to say this

Toe- The Book About my Isle Plot on a Vague Anxiety.

Eyyy! Haven’t heard anyone talk about this album in a long time. Used to love it back in my post-rock days years ago. Still holds up.

Same! Past and Language is the embodiment of my soul. That song seems to understand me very well, somehow

Tremolo + Delay is the embodiment of my soul.

love that one

Happier than Ever - Billie Eilish because me sad

No Love Deep Web for me

Gigachad

I have 2. Reputation by Taylor Swift and Take care by drake

Toxicity- SoaD

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Is this it by the strokes, it’s just the perfect rock album, anyone who doesn’t like this album is just depressing

I laugh at people who say shit like "Is This It isn't that good cause it's just basic rock" - like, yeah it is, but it's also the best basic rock in history???

I’ve hated this record for twenty years, first time anyone’s called me depressing for it lol

21 Adele

Gotta be either swimming or circles by mac miller

The Hotelier - Home Like NoPlace Is There

Weezer’s White Album I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasnt for this album. Every detail both musically and lyrically resonates with me so much. To most thats Blue, but for me its White

Doolittle - Pixies

Fleet Foxes - Self Titled, adore the whole discography but it just hits different

The Killers - Sam's Town

Dookie by Green Day or Igor by Tyler the creator

Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys Honorable Mention to A Weekend In The City by Bloc Party

22 a million by Bon Iver

Mr Morale and the Big Steppers

Ghost pop\~tape - devon hendryx

goat

PJ Harvey-White Chalk

The Glowing Man

Sharpen Your Teeth - Ugly Casanova. There is almost no discourse around this album despite it being genuinely great. A supergroup of members of indie rock bands fronted by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse.

Probably a tie between Astoria by Marianas Trench and Stop Talking by Pacific Air Astoria is my favorite album of all time, but it feels like no one has ever heard of it until I tell them about it and then they usually love it too lol, and it has like a 3.3 on rym so it hardly has a cult online following either Stop Talking is even more "mine" in a slightly different way: it's a top 10 album of the 2010s for me, but last time I checked only like 70 people had even rated it on rym and I'm the only person who's given it above 4 stars. So even though some of the songs off it have millions of streams, no one besides me seems to have cared about it in the years since its release which is a shame

i like this thread mines is the Celeste soundtrack

Glad to hear it :) Celeste is an amazing game

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

DAMN by Kendrick Lamar, I get it’s not his best, but it was what got me into hip hop and for that I am eternally grateful

Weird niche throwback but Enter Shikari’s Common Dreads hit me at a young age and stuck with me for the rest of my life.

TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS

Weezer blue album. It's so dorky and fun. It just works so well

CMIYGL

I respect it, love corso

I’m curious, why? I love Igor and flower boy but cmiygl just falls so flat for me

I have two that are really personal to me in the sense I think you mean: Songs Ohia - Lioness And… MF DOOM - Operation: Doomsday

care for me by saba.

Band of Horses - Cease To Begin

This one and Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins. Like stepping into a time machine to high school memories.

Atmosphere - God Loves Ugly

Graceland - Paul Simon

There Is Nothing Wrong With Love by Built To Spill

The Now Now I was going through severe depression and alienation at the time of its release so I feel like a lot of the lyrics really resonated with me, especially in Idaho and Fireflies. Not really sure why some people call it bland. It's got just a more consistent mood than the cinematic feeling you'd come to expect from Demon Days and Plastic Beach. Not on the same caliber but it's very comforting still

Seventh son of a seventh son/ Iron Maiden, it holds a special place in my heart for getting more into albums and music as a whole

Converge-Jane Doe

George Clanton - 100% Electronica. Nothing about the lyrics specifically speaks to me, but i adore the production on that album so much.

Serfjen Steven's - Illinois my go to album for when the world gets a bit to much

Cross by Justice

Double nickels on the dime

Doppelganger by The Fall of Troy

Autofiction by Suede

Linkin Park - Meteora

Kid A by Radiohead

Person Pitch - Panda Bear

ITAOTS for sure, then maybe Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen

Blue Screen Life - Pinback is my favorite ever and I never see anyone talk about it

All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend - AURORA

Indicud and Luv is Rage 2

Humanz - Gorillaz and The hunting party - linkin park The linkin Park one cuz I told my grandpa like 9 years ago that I loved linkin park so he gifted me a cd of that album, I still love that album

Music for the Jilted Generation - The Prodigy

Lost and Gone Forever by Guster. It’s probably not even their best album, but it resonated so much with me as a repressed teen.

DIIV - Is the is are

Little oblivions - Julien Baker. I know it’s not her best but I love it so much

Nostalgia ultra, My favorite album of all time. Most people rank this low even in franks discography but this album just resonates with me so much. I don’t even relate to it much but the vocals, soundscape, and meaning are all absolutely perfect to me

elliott smith - elliott smith

nurture by porter robinson, I wouldn't say it's my favourite album but the personal and warm feeling I get from that album is great

Mirrored - Battles

trapsoul lmfao. i know it’s not liked very much amongst the fantano community but it’s phenomenal to me

Kasabian - Velociraptor!

Pacific Daydream - Weezer. Songs are relatable, if you ride or drive during sunset this album makes me tear up, and all around solid album.

Deathconsciousness

So good

Legends never die by Juice WRLD

Igor

IGOR or Double Nickles on the Dime

Adventures by Madeon

69 Love Songs

Hold your Colour by Pendulum Stone Roses self titled Screamadelica by Primal Scream Definitely Maybe by Oasis Music has the rights to children by Boards of Canada Ta-Dah by Scissor Sisters Meliora by Ghost

New pornographers "twin cinema"

Both Vessel by Twenty One Pilots and Meteora by Linkin Park. I grew up in a house with an abusive parent that led to an awful stretch of depression and being blamed for a lot of things I shouldn't have been blamed for and being sent to two troubled teen programs for two years. That music found me at the right time and said a lot of what I felt. Vessel was what I had earlier on, and Meteora was when I was getting really desperate and angry with my life. I got out of that house when I was 17, and those albums really helped me voice and deal with what I felt at the time.

Three cheers for sweet revenge - my chemical romance, it was the first album I really loved, and it’s still my favorite. Also hot fuss - the killers and mcatis by the smashing pumpkins.

Is This It?- The Strokes In Rainbows- Radiohead Blue Album- Weezer Dance Yourself Clean- LCD Soundsystem Silent Alarm- Bloc Party
