Classic Music
The best albums according to me

A list of the great albums of all time is going to elicit complaints and disagreements. Music tastes are extremely subjective and this list represents the best according to me. Some are nearly unanimously praised by critics, others are just perfect to me.

I was an easier grader for albums than I was with films. Because music inhabits so many different moods, it is possible to consider Eminem and The Beatles both as classic artists.

This is a living list, to be added to. Email the site with thoughts or major misses. (ideas@culturedrift.com)



N.E.R.D. - In Search Of....
(2002)

Eclectic, smooth and danceable, still a favorite two years later. Nice R&B jams that sound like a modern hip-hop update of Kool & The Gang or Earth, Wind & Fire.
A classic.


The Cure - Disintegration (1989)

The best Cure album ever. Dark and moody but filled with melodies that you can sing along with. Put this in a time vault to preserve for future generations.


Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain (1959)

Considered the best Jazz album to try seducing someone. Not sure about that, but it is a beautiful, moody score that evokes visions of a castle in Spain. This captures Miles at his full genius.
