anything from alice in chains

Gonna try and put some lesser known favorites of mine:

Tonedeff - Polymer (2016)

One of my favorite albums of last year, the beats on here have sort of a 65daysofstatic/Swans feel at times, and Tonedeff's rapping is incredible. Tons of complex rhyme schemes while never falling into "lyrical, spiritual, miracle" territory.

Thurisaz - Scent of a Dream (2004)

A mix of black metal, prog metal, even some death metal, this is definitely my favorite metal album of all time. One of the most beautiful metal albums I've heard as well, I can play this any time and love the shit out of it.

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (2005)

Great indie rock with one of the most impressive and underrated singer/songwriters in the genre, Will Sheff. The music isn't too revolutionary, but always solid, and Sheff's voice and lyrics always make up for it.

Forgotten Tomb - Songs to Leave (2002)

Best depressive black metal album I've heard. Great riffs, powerful vocals (although they did take some time to grow on me) and it never overstays its welcome. Not a huge fan of that subgenre from what I've heard, but this is definitely a gem.

spooky black - leaving ep
HOMESHAKE - Fresh air
alvvays - self-titled

1980's to 1990's band

The Avalanches - Since I Left You, Wildflower

J Cole - Forest Hills Drive

Kendrick Lamar - Anything by Him

Kanye West - College Dropout, Late Registration, 808s, MBDTF, TLOP

GZA - Liquid Swords

Just stuff of the top of my head.

Emo (which is different from pop punk) essentials for when you want your heart ripped out [mix of Post-Hardcore, Math Rock, Screamo, Pop Punk]

Shiny Eyed Babies - Bent Knee (Alt/Experimental Rock)

I've been a fan of the guitarist of the band (Ben Levin) for a while now, but only recently listened to this album. I immediately fell in love with how creative and inventive the band is, they're really unpredictable, and I feel they're one of the few that can pull it off.

Acts I-V - The Dear Hunter (Mix of Prog and Alternative Rock)

This is a 5 album overarching concept about a boy and how his life went to shit by his own hands that takes place around 1900. All of them are incredible. I like 2 the most; but I think as an album, 5 is the best. These records really grow on you the more you listen because they all reference each other with motifs and lyrics and its really fucking cool how well its done.

Supersonic Home - Adventures (Punk/Grunge/idk)

I have no idea how I found this band, or why I like them. I think it might be the female vocals, but who knows. Check them out!

Zhu - Generation Why

Flume - Skin

Isaiah Rashad - The Sun's Tirade
Sublime - Sublime

Gorillaz - Demon Days

Gorillaz - literally everything they make

The one Them Crooked Vultures Album

Van Eps by Van Eps

Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy

AC/DC Powerage (most underrated AC/DC album)

Black Country Communion Live over Europe

The Raconteurs, Broken Boy Soldiers

All of these are pretty much rock of differing flavor.

death's dynamic shroud.wmv - I'll Try Living Like This
basically the only vaporwave album i can tolerate. its great though.

Protest the Hero - Kezia
Debut Album, its a metal opera. Great stuff considering how young they were. My #1 favorite

fire

Thriftworks - Hydromancy

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

anything chon

deerhunter's halcyon digest

weezer's white album + blue album

ratatat

nana grizol - ursa minor
really cute album :))

for my under respresented metal bros out here....

Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes : finnish OSDM. obviously if it is OSDM (and also finnish) it probably has substance.. and substance is abundant
Spell - For None and All : inspiring heavy metal album. will lift your mood if you are down
Absu - Tara : fantastic black/thrash album, has some very attention grabbing drumwork
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey : you might know them for their black metal... but did you know they also made really good DM? guitarwork on this album is ambitious and well arranged
Vulture - Victim to the Blade : as fenriz puts it, "if you don't like this album, you don't like metal" also, yes, this album was legitimately released in 2016, and that fact should warm your heart

Soulside Journey is the most underrated Darkthrone album of the first 5, it's so good but completely overshadowed by the proceeding black metal albums. Still gotta give my favorite to A Blaze in the Northern Sky. I'd def rec Soulside if anyone wants DM by one of the best BM bands

ya i second paranoid if youre looking for some like roots doom metal
esp their first album (which is my fav) if you want something even slower

I'll give some recs mainly in some genres and albums I wish were more popular

Youthanasia - Megadeth (Thrash Metal)

Who's Next - The Who (Classic Rock)

Death Magnetic - Metallica (Thrash Metal)

Three Days Grace - Three Days Grace (Post-Grunge)

Real talk I really think Kanye West's Yeezus is underrated as fuck or gets dismissed really quickly by a lot of people just because they think it's a Death Grips ripoff when in actual fact they have like 10 brain cells and

if you're into instrumental hip hop deffo check these out:
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... (plunderphonics/instrumental hip hop)
RJD2 - Deadringer
Madlib - Beat Konducta, Volume 5: Dil Cosby Suite (instrumental hip hop)
Madlib - Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note

If you're into lofi/instrumental hip hop:
[bsd.u] - late night bumps (his newer stuff is good too)
Jinsang - solitude/graditude/lighter
Vanilla - Origin (or anything by vanilla really)

if you're into trip hop:
Massive Attack - Mezzanine/Blue Lines (or any of their stuff really)
Tricky - Maxinquaye
Portishead - Dummy
Nightmares On Wax - Smoker's Delight (In a Space Outta Sound is good too)

if you're into downtempo:
Air - Moon Safari
Morcheeba - Big Calm
Zero 7 - Simple Things/When It Falls
Anything by Theivery Corporation or Moby

not sure what genre these are specifically but probably electronic of some sort:
Pretty Lights - Glowing In The Darkest Night (most of his other stuff is good as well)
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children (their other albums are great too)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92/Volume II
Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma/You're Dead!
Röyksopp - Melody A.M.
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular

fuck, how could i forget lamb of god

ashes of the wake is probably their best album by far though

ashes -> resolution -> wrath/as the palaces burn -> new american gospel -> sacrament -> strum und drang

The United States of America a fret-less bass, an electric violin, a ring modulator, and a very talented drummer make psychedelic rock.

Grouper - AIA probably my favorite album of all time. Ambient, drone, folk, best for late night listening.

:zoviet-france: - Mohnomishe Industrial, dark ambient, weird, sounds like 'fourth world music', or 'future-primitive'.

Tame Impala - Lonerism
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

dumbfoundead - old boy jon
yung simmie - simmie season
asap mob - cozy tapes vol. 1: friends
