Only skimmed through but right away: no Appetite for Destruction from Guns N' Roses? Hey bb. I can certainly add it If you have any more recs, feel free to drop them!

vinKC Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 What about Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway? Definitely an iconic masterpiece in the 2000’s. Link to post Share on other sites
Aerosol Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 OP, you got bamboozled into some of these picks. For example...Mase's Harlem World isn't even an essential Bad Boy Records album, or even from its year of release, let alone from an entire decade. Link to post Share on other sites

I have to put faith in the people giving suggestions, cuz I can only go off of critic list which does leave a lot of stuff out. And I don't want to question people too much since that'll make me look like some sort of gatekeeper Link to post Share on other sites
despy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Was going to add Shania, Sophie Ellis, Aaliyah & Hole to my submissions but looks like they were already added Some suggestions that just popped up in my head: Spoiler 70s "Kim Carnes" by Kim Carnes (Country) (This one isn't on streaming plaforms, can be found on YouTube) 80s "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol "Café Racers" by Kim Carnes (This one isn't on streaming plaforms, can be found on YouTube) [^Most people know her from "Betty Davis Eyes" off her another 80s record "Mistaken Identity" but imo this album is miles better than that both lyrically and sonically so this might be my biased suggestion but anyway ] "Bella Donna" by Stevie Nicks 90s Celine Dion - "Falling Into You" 00s "Long Gone Before Daylight" by The Cardigans "Lovers Rock" by Sade "The Fray" by The Fray "Five Star Motel" by Andy Stochansky "Return To Saturn" by No Doubt "Lifehouse" by Lifehouse "Eyes Open" by Snow Patrol "Into The Rush" by Aly & AJ "Fallen" by Evanescence 10s "For All We Know" by NAO "Take Me Apart" by Kelala "Zeros" by Declan McKenna "U.F.O.F" by Big Thief "Nothing Happens" by Wallows "Now, Not Yet" by half•alive Link to post Share on other sites

Everest Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Recommendations: Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right to Children (1998) is iconic and has been consistently referenced and emulated among electronic musicians for 20+ years. Pitchfork gave it a 10 and also gave it its own feature article a few years ago. https://pitchfork.com/features/article/why-boards-of-canadas-music-has-the-right-to-children-is-the-greatest-psychedelic-album-of-the-90s/ https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/838-music-has-the-right-to-children/ Aphex Twin: Richard D. James Album is a cute girl, for sure, but nowhere near as impactful/iconic as Selected Ambient Works 85-92 or Selected Ambient Works Vol. II. While SAW Vol. II absolutely changed ambient music as a genre, SAW 85-92 is more accessible and basically invented IDM (intelligent dance music). I think either are a better contender for essential Aphex album over RDJA. 33 1/3 even wrote a book about SAW Vol. II https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/223-selected-ambient-works-85-92/ https://www.factmag.com/2017/02/12/paul-white-aphex-twin-selected-ambient-works-85-92/ https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/aphex-twins-selected-ambient-works-volume-ii-9781623568900/ Link to post Share on other sites
