Are those of you who suggested Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song” vampires or something? That is one of the creepiest songs ever.

The “Adore” album from Smashing Pumpkins (back in ‘98)–very underrated; it’s all about loss… It totally helped me when I was in high school and fell out of love the first time! Simply gorgeous record.

I agree with Skillamang; the first 10 spots on the RS top 500 albums should all be 2Pac albums! THEN you can take the moldy Beetles or that croaking lunatic Bob Dylan. 2Pac OWNS those “bustas”! (that’s what we in the rap world call people we don’t like) Even though they came out decades before him, I think the classic artists of the 60’s were influenced by 2Pac’s coming presence. Consider: The White Album was a double album, and 2Pac released like 6 of them. The Beetles forsaw 2Pac’s greatness; there is really no other explanation. By the way, 2Pac also is better than Shakespeare and Ghandi and better than oxygen.

Une Annee Sans Lumiere by Arcade Fire

Walk On by U2

I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

I can’t believe nobody thought of “Long Road”. You could go with the Pearl Jam/Neil Young version on the Merkin Ball single, but I prefer the unedited version on the “Dead Man Walking” sountrack that Eddie Vedder performs with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Metallica’s “FADE TO BLACK”
Leonard Cohen’s “WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE”
