Brilliant Corners
Thelonious Monk
I can’t pretend like I have the understanding of music theory or vocabulary to appropriately appreciate jazz, nor is it ever a genre that I go out of my way to listen to. And yet every time I make time to listen to a jazz classic, I wonder why I don’t seek it out more often.
Obviously the piano composition is at the forefront here, but I really love the variety of drum techniques used. Favorite song was the title track.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
One of the most important albums in terms of how my taste in music has been shaped through childhood. I have incredible memories hearing “Time” for the first time waiting in line for the Corkscrew at Cedar Point and synchronizing this album with The Wizard of Oz with my family. I’m still blown away by the production quality for 1973 and it’s single-handedly helped me fall in love with psych rock as a genre.

Beck was one of the first artists I can remember cramming my mp3 player full of. I could only store around 100 songs, but had a handful of tracks from Odelay.

I recognize this score is heavily influenced by nostalgia, but this album changed my life when it came out in middle school. “Smile Like You Mean It” was the most played song on my first iPod. The dense production, glamorous shimmery guitar tones, and sprinkles of synthesizers were exactly what I needed in 2004 and still brings me a lot of happiness twenty years later.

It’s difficult to put into words how important Kid A has been to me.

Every subsequent listen has evoked memories of that peaceful solitude and a stark reminder that music is fundamental to who I am as a person.

Spiderland
Slint
I liked wandering off at my great-grandparents’ farm into the woods. There was an old tire swing a few miles in that felt close enough to the farmhouse to be cozy and familiar, yet far enough away and deep enough into the woods to be eerie and unnerving. This album takes that conflicting, whispery feeling, distills it down, and serves it to you in a paper cup. The production is juvenile and gritty in just the perfect way.
