blake lewis

nikki glaser

chris hudspeth

chrish-ll stause
claudio rivera
harley morenstein
dave holmes
eireann dolan
11. allison harvard (“america’s next top model”)

nirvana – in utero
“in utero was angry for me. this album was a bit like an undercover cool dad who helped me figure myself out, without letting me in on the secret.”

12. andrew zimmern (“bizarre foods”)

roxy music – this is roxy music
“it’s brian eno, bryan ferry, and phil manzanera at their finest. every note and every song links together effortlessly. it’s album perfection.”

13. leigh nash (sixpence none the richer)

lhasa de sela – the living road
“she’s my favorite modern singer. her voice was as rich as her melodies and lyrics. it’s unfortunate that she died a few years ago of breast cancer.”

14. james gunn (“guardians of the galaxy”, “slither”)

s-x pistols – never mind the b-ll-cks here’s the s-x pistols
“i saw the s-x pistols on tv when i was a young child, and they shook my world. i didn’t like them. i was freaked out by them, actually. but they made me see over the rim of my simple suburban missouri existence into the wild cultural world of punk rock. i couldn’t forget them. a few years later, as an early teen, i bought their album for a buck or two in a used record store. i felt guilty listening to it for the first time – as a catholic kid, the chant of “i am an anti-christ!” didn’t sit easily… but it was forbidden and exciting. all in all, it was part of an internal revolution that soon included the ramones and the jam and especially the clash, turning me from a nerdy middle-schooler into the punk rock kid i pretty much still am today, in addition to being life-changing, the album is catchy as h-ll, and there isn’t a loser track on it.”

15. barret swatek (“awkward”)

fleetwood mac – rumours
“because every song is great and tells a story. because it will hold up for generations to come. and, because my older brother forced me to listen to it while driving us to school in hopes that i’d throw away my debbie gibson album. i did.”

16. piggy demon (rob zombie)

sugar – copper blue
“it got stuck in my tape deck when i moved to boston in the ‘90s. bob mould became my best friend and he still doesn’t know it.”

17. conor tripler (writer)

modest mouse – the lonesome crowded west
“a wild animal lives in this album. it captures a sprawling, forlorn american sadness and turns it into something gorgeous and hopeful. it can completely ruin my day with the same ease that it can make me fall in love with everything i see.”

18. megan amram (“parks and recreation”)

kate bush – hounds of love
“i have so many “favorite albums” but hounds of love has to be my pick. my favorite vocalists have always been theatrical, melodramatic, bizarre, surreal, beautiful women like kate bush and bjork and yma sumac and blossom dearie and dirty projectors and the shangri-las etc etc etc. hounds of love is so bold and weird and pop at the same time. f it’s good.”

19. kelly oxford (author)

“i find i only really listen to 70’s rock. at the time, musicians were suddenly getting these big money deals and magazines began to glorify them. i think the music reflects this time right before everything turned into a big commercial. i don’t have a very favorite album, but neil young’s harvest could definitely be on repeat forever.”

20. sean doolittle (oakland a’s)

metallica – master of puppets
“it has sentimental value to me. when i was a kid it was one of the first albums i saved for and bought with my allowance money. it’s also a great album for working out. i do bicep curls and bench, so now all the people that made fun of me for being a metal head can come at me bros!”

21. jenny johnson (writer)

creedence clearwater revival – chronicle
“each song has solid drum, guitar, b-ss, and vocals. i love john fogerty’s voice so much. when someone asks the beatles or rolling stones question, my answer is ccr. they f-cking rule.”

22. joel david moore (“avatar”, “dodgeball”)

damian rice – o
“i’ve probably listened to that album a thousand times. he’s a poet who happens to have an incredible voice. it’s the only album i can listen to that i’m more impressed with the words than the songs.”

23. jewel staite (“firefly”, “stargate: atlantis”)

elbow – the seldom seen kid
“it’s the equivalent of driving through the california wine country on your way to get buzzed.”

24. joshua dun (twenty one pilots)

blink 182 – take off your pants and jacket
“i guess i’d have to choose an album from the standpoint of being inspired as a musician. it was the first album that made me even think about wanting to play drums. it inspired me to dig deeper into older punk rock and also newer pop styles and diversify myself musically.”

25. brian vander ark (the verve pipe)

bob mould – workbook
“of all the albums i’ve owned, none has taught me more about mood, story, lyric, and melody than that one. it’s still my favorite.”

26. jaron lowenstein (evan and jaron)

peter gabriel – so
i was 12 years old and i watched the hottest girl in school succ-mb to “red rain” with big spiral like, zombie eyes and i knew in that moment i would spend the rest of my life trying to master that power. i failed, but that f-cking album is still succeeding
