      @chrisjohnnick "keep it together" is a great album  ;D. I come back to it every now and again like a real broken in pair of shoes, "backyard" is a jam

          @neph93 glad to see Kate Bush being represented here. My favourite flits between The Dreaming & HOL, depends on the day.  Great to see Jeff Vandermeer on your list too, The Southern Reach trilogy is a modern masterpiece and is the eeriest stuff I’ve read in a while. I remember enjoying Vurt many years ago when I was reading as much weird Sci-Fi as possible.

          @Nkwkfld how could I forget Knausgaard?! The My Struggle series is really important to me.

          It’s cool to see so many crossovers in taste, and also to receive recommendations of things that have flown under my radar. It’s interesting to me how much crossover there actually is, and that the tastes don’t only align in terms of music, but books as well. This is a very enjoyable thread and I’m surprised one didn’t already exist!

              I just can’t get there with books. There are many I’ve enjoyed over the years but only one stands out for constant revisiting. A slight cheat as it’s a collected works, but for me it’s The Complete Saki.

                  Top Five Cringiest songs that have not aged very well 😬

                  I am not going to post these for obvious reasons. But feel free to look them up for yourself 😉 I can actually think if way worse songs but they are completely in poor taste. The list escalates quickly…

                  1. I was made for lovin' you -Kiss
                  2. I can dream about you- Dan Hartman
                  3. Are you ready for the sex girls? -Gleaming Spires
                  4. Gunpoint Affection- Black Market Baby
                  5. Little Girls- Oingo Boingo

                  Honorable mentions:

                  Anything by GG Allin
                  Turn Japanese- the Vapors

                  I had a larger list compiled in my mind earlier but I can't remember now. I know there's another one great one I'm forgetting.

                    @Filthy you've got some brutal songs there, bud  😃

                    Pity on the person who uses that list to make a playlist

                            Doolittle and Sgt. Pepper’s in my first draft as well. Doolittle is the soundtrack to me leaving home for college and Pepper’s is my childhood.

                                I'll do two Top 5's because Tool deserves it's own.

                                TOOL:
                                1 - Aenema
                                2 - Lateralus
                                3 - Fear Inoculum
                                4 - 10,000 Days
                                5 - Undertow

                                Not Tool top 5:
                                1 - Mastodon - Crack the Skye
                                2 - Metallica - And Justice for All
                                3 - A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
                                4 - Lamb of God - Wrath
                                5 - Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled

                                • A lot of honorable mentions on this list.

                                      @LewisStonehouse I've got a fair bit of bias, Maynard & Co. put out way too much good music not to be included on all the lists.

                                            After giving this some thought. Here’s mine…

                                            Top 5:
                                            Ott - Blumenkraft
                                            Ott - Skylon
                                            Emancipator - Dusk To Dawn
                                            Piebald - We Are The Only Friends We Have
                                            At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

                                            The most honorable of mentions:
                                            Jay-Z - The Blueprint

                                            So many great lists here!
