14. Mezzanine - Massive Attack
we're all going to die, but the vibes are impeccable. thank you to House MD for inadvertently changing my life in exactly one (1) way. recommended for buying on vinyl to display in your home so as to signify to others that you are the cool kind of mentally ill.

13. The Repulsion Box - Sons and Daughters
you will get the whole thing stuck in your head for a month and a half, and you will be grateful. "ominously Scottish" is an excellent genre. recommended for trying to figure out what to do with your arms while you're dancing.

12. John Henry - They Might Be Giants
TMBG has such a long and varied discography that sometimes you feel like an album is yours alone. did I make up all those songs? did I dream them? can anyone else sing along? recommended for sleeping in the flowers, tell my boss that I've been fired.

11. Quebec - Ween
it's like the Quebec of albums, you know? weird and vulgar and poignant. recommended for walking around your hometown at sundown with headphones on, hoping you're still recognizable to your old landmarks and unrecognizable to everyone else.

10. Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike - Gogol Bordello
I grew up on Slavic folk and Russian classical music (true story), so this was my entryway into punk as a teenager. it's sad, funny, angry, and earnest, and every track still hits. recommended for playing air accordion in the shower.

9. On Avery Island - Neutral Milk Hotel
yes, yes, In the Aeroplane, but HAVE YOU CONSIDERED how achingly sad and weird Jeff Mangum can be when there's no "concept", just these tiny transmissions from a different world? recommended for having an emotional crisis in the antiquarian bookstore.

8. Odd Blood - Yeasayer
this is the first band I ever saw live, and honestly I think I've been chasing the high of that night at Mr. Smalls ever since. is it a good album? I do not care, but also, yes. recommended for saying wistful things about your "youth" in your early-to-mid-30s.

what if everything were beautiful and horrible and you had to/got to live with it without it ever making sense? unrelatedly, what if I needed SSRIs like a decade before I got them? recommended for typing in lowercase on social media platforms.

6. Can't Buy A Thrill - Steely Dan
way deep down, I am a divorced father of three, and I wish my kids would call more often. not unrelatedly, I am inherently wistful and prone to narrativizing my own bad choices. recommended for watching people do cocaine at a party you hate.

5. Numbers and Mumbles - Say Hi
sometimes you hear an album when you're just young and impressionable enough that it reshapes your brain a little, no matter what Pitchfork says. I would invite Eric Elbogen to my wedding. recommended for doing karaoke alone at home with the cat.
