Are you retarded

Murmur

arguably the most important album for the development of alternative rock

No

Definitely not this overrated LP.

What?

>OPN
>important
Huh
>Huh
Huh

You're right, R+7 is better. Returnal is still great though.

OPN is and will forever remain the only person I fanboy over.

Is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in yet? honest question.

Is this the thread where we post albums we like without regard for whether or not they're culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States?

...

stooges discography

His is this album culturally, historically or aesthetically important to the U.S.?
If this is bait, good job I suppose

TVU&N

theres a difference between an album you like and an album that is culturally important

This

r plus seven is better

...

Not yet.
Don't worry. It's already in the registry back in 2006.

...

>implying anybody cares

Definitely not this overrated LP.

"no"

Thankfully not.

Yes.

haters gonna hate

...

Wdhmbt

What album?

Slanted and Enchanted

this thread is basically "what's your favorite canon?"

Pavement suck.

Honestly I think Floral Shoppe should be included, also Trout Mask Replica

my album

...

TMR is already in there.

This.

Not that it belongs in this thread, but this is a really great and underrated album.

Whar

Hey. Sip that.

It's got a few more years, but pic related deserves it

I don't like that dub music. Except Fishmans.

user the most important alt rock album is already on the list

"pop" just means not classical and sometimes jazz

>tfw OKC is on the list and Kid A isn't

KID A is just gay.

neither should be in that list tbqh fameo

Deaftheaven sunbather

this
why the fuck isn't funhouse in there already?

Actual non meme answers

some Art Tatum shit
The Individualism of Gil Evans
The Heart of the Congos
"Your Love" by Frankie Knuckles
some Lionel Belasco shit
"Can You Feel It" by Fingers Inc.
No Other
some Carter Family shit
Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing

Hey Lopatin. Can you stop posting today. Nobody really likes you. Your work is dull and your Eccojams remaster is really pathetic.

Pretty obvious one here.

>Radiohead, U2, and Pink Floyd
What the fuck does this have to do with American culture?

End yourself.

Are you kidding? Sonic Youth is way more influential than R.E.M.

All 3 of those bands had huge followings here

Important for minimalism, not much else though

...

...

Shittiest album ever made.

>Shittiest album ever made.
bad opinion

you start op

remember guys, this list is for albums that have had an impact on american media and culture. your Sup Forumscore albums might be your favorite, but they didn't have a major impact on the direction of music like a majority of this list had.

Agreed, though "Radio Free Europe" is listed in the registry as a single

Daydream Nation is already in the registry you silly willies

only albums ITT that have actually had a real impact on the direction of popular music. step it up Sup Forums

I'm surprised theres no neil young on the list

Loveless invented shoegaze you dick.

pic related is the only Lopatin album that should be in the Library of Congress

Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express

Anything from Ennio Morricone

Lmfao its le "OK KID" me me again XD!!! Post it again user!!!

>he spends so much hard work on all of his music
>the one album of his that actually held huge influence and invented an entirely new genre was an album he made as a goof
meta

nomination

This is something I can actually see them adding.

fyre1111.bandcamp.com/album/i/

lol no

Yeah this should get in

...

Kind of surprised it isn't in there already. There's better, there's worse, there's more well-sold, there's a lot of things. But this is definitely very, very influential.

no chance anything not normie getting in there

THIS

This is probably the most recent album that belongs on this list.

Other stuff that's not on there but should be: In the Court of the Crimson King, Unknown Pleasures, and

autechre are from the UK though...

kys

...

I thought they had to be American?

Unknown Pleasures for sure

these

not necessarily, there's plenty on the list that aren't american by origin

...

Is This It

Just read the list, some of the albums currently there don't seem like they belong. The original Broadway Recording of Sweeney Todd? Why? It's good but like... damn...

>Returnal is still great though

That's Replica you tard

Not even Odelay needs to be in that library

I feel like Beck is a pretty respectable American artist that's left his mark here. Sea Change is probably his best work but I feel Modern Guilt would be a good fit for the project.

surprised wu tang isn't in there already

>the Doors is on there

fucking lol opinion invalidated. Who the fuck would even bother listening to an "authority" that has the Doors on its list. Fucking plebeian tripe.

fax

Even Scaruffi likes that album you shitlord

One other I'm pretty content should be in the library. The backlash towards this upon its release was enormous, it's the reason why we have parental advisory stickers on music now.

Master of Puppets is also listed as pop.

Yeah an interview with some baseball players influenced music.

fUCK OFF KID

The Doors are the epitome of the self-absorbed messianic wannabe vacuum of the late 60s.

Morrison's vocals and lyrics are incredibly dull and the background "music" is a cacophony of the most horrific electric organ stabbing into your skull like a rusty icepick over and over. They're only revered cause Jim Morrison died young.

not happening

Skrillex turned dubstep from a relatively unknown genre to a household name. It's been inescapable from pop culture ever since, many artists still trying to incorporate the sound into their music. Body Count's backlash caused question into what's deemed appropriate to be released on record shelves in public stores, being the purpose for the parental advisory stickers to be created; something nearly every album with vulgarity of any sort has been stuck with ever since, even on that Skrillex album I posted. Both are pretty significant changes to media, music and pop culture.
