It's my day off and I'm concurrently wishing for a really stellar new album to listen to, and listening to some of my old faves. I'm put on Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and remembering how unbelievably awesome a record it is. I feel the same about Sufjean Stevens' Illinois and Elliott Smith's Either/Or. I've got errands to run, and I'm realizing that I'm not going to be there anytime soon, because I'm going to listen to the entire thing, probably twice.

What are your absolute fave albums? Like, ones that are ridiculously good from beginning to end.

son house: father of the delta blues: son house
this is only one compilation of the work of son house. there are many. i would without exaggeration say that his song "death letter" is the single greatest song/recording laid down in the 20th and 21st centuries. no exaggeration, kids.

There are probably more, but the two that come to mind are All Things Must Pass by George Harrison, and Abbey Road, by the Beatles.

There are a lot of other albums that I really love, but there's usually a song or two I don't really care for. These two are perfect.
