Glorious Fool by John Martyn.
If I was ever to write and record an album, this would be it. It’s the same combination of flawed and perfect as I am.
Biscuits for Cerberus by Flipron, I think. Cheerfully melancholic, quirky and vulnerable at the same time. And, you know, accordions.
Nurse with Wound: Sylvie and Babs’ Hi-Fi Companion.
(I really didn’t even know he was dead until I was washing the blood off my hands.)
Right now, maybe Nebraska. Dark, sad and lonely and in search of the unattainable. With a dash of mass murder. 
Pink Floyd: Animals
Same as the poster above:

The dark melancholy feel of it, and the notes of despair and helplessness, all of that speaks to the way I have been feeling these past few years.
Lyrics such as:
Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds.
Everything about it resonates with me. Though I feel like I’m not worthy of claiming such a masterpiece.
I have never met a bad mood that Springsteen’s Born to Run has failed to knock out of me. I’ve also never met a good mood that it hasn’t improved! So, pretty much full marks all around.
Quadrophenia. Yes, I have issues! 
Don Henley’s *The **End **of **the *Innocence
Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville.
Exile on Main Street.

Bad Animals by Heart.
I’m gonna go walk down an ornate staircase with slow-motion pigeons flying in the foreground now if you don’t mind.
An interesting idea. I have a lot of albums that I love for various reasons. Judgement by Anathema, for instance, is perhaps the most brilliant album I’ve ever heard, and while every song on there is beautiful and many touch on areas of my life, I think it only expresses one aspect. Many other albums I have a similar relationship, where they thoroughly explore a particular aspect.
However, there is one album that I’ve felt a particularly strong personal attachment to ever since I “got” it, and that would be Existence by Dark Suns (lyrics: DARK SUNS LYRICS - "Existence" (2005) album). Even from the title of the album itself, it sets the mood and gives an idea of what this album is about.
The actual material is like a third person view of one’s own life, or the supposed moment right before death when one re-experiences all the meaningful events in one’s life. It explores many curious moments in life an excited perspective of youth looking forward, to love and love lost, to regrets and might have beens. This is very much the sort of way that I look at life, with lots of reflection on my past and looking forward to and trying to shape my future with a childish wonder.
Musically it is an amazing album as well. There’s a very clear musical theme through the entire album such that each song has a distinct sound, yet each one just seems to fight right in with the others. There’s certain riffs and timbres that become associated with various concepts throughout the album that ties things together so that when I hear the vocalist or guitarist in a certain tone, or a particular scale or riff, I know what connection they’re trying to make or meaning underlies it. Moreover, each musician is enormously talented, freely using unusual rhythms and scales but blending them together perfectly. This, I think, is why it took me a couple listens to “get” it, because of the music, much like the concept and the lyrics, aren’t immediately accessible and require a deeper level of appreciation.
And even more, the entire album, musically, conceptually, and lyrically all lead up to the final track which, if I had to pick a single track that represents me, it would be this. It is a look back and realization of how some things that seem so important simply are not, and vice versa. It is a realization of a beautiful life lived, despite the mistakes and the pains, and being satisfied with what we’ve left behind. And then the album reaches it’s pinnacle with one of the most emotive and powerful riffs I’ve ever heard, that gave me chills then and still to this day before, bringing us back to the very first riff of the album and closing out exactly where we began, and yet somehow after 78 minutes it seems as though simultaneously everything and nothing has changed.
For what it’s worth, I HIGHLY recommend Dark Suns to fans of Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Anathema, and Porcupine Tree.
Prodigy - Experience… full of energy, passionate tunes, but slightly naive and rough around the edges, and not really part of the mainstream (just like me :)).
I can’t listen to these tunes without grinning and having a little boogie.
Madonna’s… uh, if I have to pick one, let’s go with ** American Life**. Madonna’s music has a way of applying to my life in frighteningly accurate ways.
Cranberries - *No Need To Argue
*
Kind of naive, kind of moody, kind of blue, very melodramatic. Has one (and only one) chart toping piece. Band faded into oblivion since, releasing only derivative crap reminiscent of what worked in that album.
So, you know. I’m a fun to be around party guy
