[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8626482, member: 59082"] Wow, skimming through this thread and it really strikes me how different my tastes are from the hivemind of ENWorld, which seem to constellate towards rock, metal, alt, and bits and pieces mixed in. Without thinking too much about it, and with the caveat that I could replace some of these with a couple dozen others, my "desert island albums" are, in order of date... [B]List 1: A Possible Essential Album List (c. 2022)[/B] Ravi Shankar - [I]Ragas & Talas[/I] (1959) Pharoah Sanders - [I]Jewels of Thought [/I](1970) Funkadelic - [I]Funkadelic [/I](1970) Alice Coltrane - [I]Journey in Satchidananda [/I](1971) Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters - [I]Man-child [/I](1975) Roy Ayers Ubiquity - [I]Mystic Voyage [/I](1975) Embryo - [I]Apo Calypso [/I](1977) Jamiroquai - [I]Traveling Without Moving [/I](1995) The Bulgarian Voices/Angelite & Huun-Huur-Tuu - [I]Fly, Fly My Sadness [/I](1996) MeShell Ndegeocello - [I]The Spirit Music Jamia [/I](2005) Aqua Bassino - [I]Rue de Paris [/I](2006) Anderson .Paak - [I]Malibu [/I](2016) Yussef Kamaal - [I]Black Focus [/I](2016) I know, that's thirteen, but I couldn't decide which to cut, and really there are already a bunch more that could be on that list. Honorable Mentions (couldn't find a place, or didn't have a single album--other than a compilation--that stood out, but I'd really like them on the list): Miles Davis, John Coltrane, James Brown, Don Cherry, The Headhunters, Shakti, Steve Coleman & the Five Elements, Curandero, Atjazz, St Germain, Sade, Kerri Chandler, A Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, Kendrick Lamar, Erykah Badu, Tora, etc.... [B]List 2: Old Favorites & Guilty Pleasures (circa 1993)[/B] I include this second list as more of a "blast from the past" - and I think it resonates more with the general trend of this thread. Pink Floyd - [I]Meddle [/I](1972) King Crimson - [I]Larks' Tongues in Aspic [/I](1973) King Crimson - [I]Starless and Bible Black [/I](1974) Joy Division - [I]Closer[/I] (1980) Bauhaus - [I]The Sky's Gone Out [/I](1982) The The - [I]Soul Mining [/I](1983) The Smiths - [I]Louder Than Bombs [/I](1984) New Order - [I]Substance [/I](1987) The Cure - [I]Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me [/I](1987) Nine Inch Nails - [I]Pretty Hate Machine[/I] (1989) Dead Can Dance - [I]Into the Labyrinth [/I](1993) [/QUOTE]
