Forever Autumn by Lake of Tears (1999)

Always a no-skip listen. A masterpiece.

Ceres and Calypso in the Deep Time by Candy Claws might just be one of the greatest shoegaze/dream pop albums of the 21st century.

 

[General Patton]

Homogenic by Bjork.

It's her at her best and every song is good.

 

[Wuhan Wet Market]

Humanistic by Abandoned Pools

 

[Jimmy Dean Bowl]

Requiem by Korn. I recently discovered it and I'm completely obsessed. Every song is amazing.

One of the first albums that made it known for me that it was still cool to listen to vaporwave.
For something made almost a decade ago, it still is good.

James Ferraro fucking rules. I really like Four Pieces for Mirai and Neurogeist but my favorite of his is this mixtape.

Guessing it is Oxbow - An Evil Heat. I concur.

 

[AnOminous]

Blue Öyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation (though I consider Secret Treaties a better album)

This is a really old post but Secret Treaties is one of the best albums of all time.

Here's a live version of one of the songs from it, Career of Evil, co-written by Patti Smith.

 

[Helping Friendly Book]

Frank Zappa's Hot Rats. This is the first Zappa album where everything is firing at full cylinders and never lets up until the end.

All the songs are amazing on it, but The Gumbo Variations is my absolute favorite. Frank Zappa said in an recording he got the album title from listening to an Archie Shepp song/performance, noting that a particular solo sounded like "this fucking army of pre-heated rats screaming out of a saxophone". I think if any song on this album could represent that tenfold, it would definitely be The Gumbo Variations.

Here's the song itself

And here's the recording where Frank talks about the origin

"this fucking army of pre-heated rats screaming out of a saxophone".

Only Zappa could say something like this.
