![]() DISCOVERY - DAFT PUNK ★★★★★ Favorite Track - ...don't make me choose!!! This is THE formative album for me...Interstella 5555 blew my mind as a youth and this album was what got me into listening to my own music separate from what my family listened to. |
![]() BAG RAIDERS - BAG RAIDERS ★★★★⯪ Favorite Track - Prelude I was jamming to this album before Shooting Stars was a meme! I really like the variety of tracks in this, another very formative album to me. |
![]() MYTHS, LEGENDS, AND OTHER AMAZING ADVENTURES VOL.2 - THE AQUABATS! ★★★★★ Favorite Track - Danger Woman! I have such a soft spot for this album...all bangers! A perfect blend of silly lyrics and catchy hooks. |
![]() DIVORCE - HOTEL MIRA ★★★★⯪ Favorite Track - Gap Year I have been stanning Hotel Mira since they went by the name JPNSGRLS!! This album is one of my favorites by them, I really like the common themes of love and loss that carry through the separate tracks. |
![]() MEGALITHIC SYMPHONY - AWOLNATION ★★★★★ Favorite Track - Soul Wars Awolnation is a band quite close to my heart!! I love when the singer does a big scream/yell!!! I will admit I am sad people only know the song Sail off this album, since I find its the saddest one off it and there's so many more exciting tracks to be listened to! |
![]() JUST MOVEMENT - ROBERT DELONG ★★★★⯪ Favorite Track - Few Years Make I loved this album when I first heard it in early high school, but I've really found the themes of growing up and changing over time have become more resonant over time. |
![]() NO PLACE IN HEAVEN - MIKA ★★★★★ Favorite Track - Last Party (with L'Orchestre Symphonique De Montreal) I had a really hard time choosing which Mika album to include on this list, but this particular album helped me through a very hard time in my life so I wanted to give it a special shoutout. The recordings of the orchestral concert were life changing to listen to for the first time for me! |
![]() D-D-D-DON'T STOP THE BEAT - JUNIOR SENIOR ★★★★⯪ Favorite Track - Shake Your Coconuts Such a fun album!!! Chicks and Dicks gets a special shoutout here as well if only for the bit where Junior describes himself as "nasty and small"...very of its time but not in a bad way! |
![]() CASTLECOMER - CASTLECOMER ★★★★★ Favorite Track - Judy I will always regret not seeing this band live when they toured to promote this album!! As far as I know they are no longer making music together...I would have loved to dance to these tracks with fellow fans! |
