J. Eric Mason:
My brother did a Facebook list of twelve record albums that have stayed with him. Hrm. Mostly there are individual songs that stay with me. Radiohead, Lou Reed, Bad Religion, Nirvana, and many others have multiple tracks on albums I think about nearly as much, but not every track. Entire albums are quite a bit rarer and frankly don't represent exactly what music is most important to me. In roughly chronological order of my first experience here's twelve arbitrary albums where every track comes to mind once in a while, or that I love but no one track is so far ahead of the others.
• Gustav Holst, Die Planeten
• Time Out, Dave Brubeck Quartet
• The Beatles, "White Album"
• The Kinks, Arthur
• Fairport Convention, Liege & Lief
• Prince and the Revolution, Purple Rain
• Peter Gabriel, So
• Big Star, #1 Record (though my version was a combo CD with Radio City, strictly speaking #1 Record was more influential on me)
• The Pixies, Doolittle
• Versus, Two Cents Plus Tax
• Gorillaz, debut
• Zoë Keating, Natoma: One Cello times 6
Tom Kraemer:
Prince Jazz Band: Footprints
