Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by chavaloricardin

This is a list of albums that changed the way I understand music, influenced me and inspired me to learn to play an instrument. Each one of the albums that you will find in this chart have changed my life and are part of me in some way.

I grew up listening to "Classic-Rock" (AC/DC, The Beatles, Queen, etc) and with the pass of time I began to listen to alternative and more melancholic music (Radiohead, Keane, The Strokes, etc), I also opened up to genres like Hip-Hop or electronic music (DJ Shadow, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, etc) so you'll see a lot of that here.

This Chart is not definitive, and my tastes are changing over time, so I will probably have to give a revision to this list in a couple of years, but for now here it is.

"As a rule, I only put maximum 2 albums per artist to give more variety"

Nota en Español:
Esta es una lista de los álbumes que cambiaron mi forma de entender la música, tuvieron influencia en mi y me inspiraron a aprender a tocar algún instrumento. Cada uno de los álbumes que encontraras en este chart han cambiado mi vida y forman parte de mi de algún modo.

No es una lista definitiva y mis gustos van cambiando con el tiempo, probablemente tenga que darle una revisión a esta lista en un par de años, pero por lo pronto aquí lo tienen.

Yo crecí escuchando "Rock-Clásico" (AC/DC, The Beatles, Queen, etc) y con el paso del tiempo comencé a escuchar música alternativa y más melancólica (Radiohead, Keane, The Strokes, etc), también me abrí a géneros como el Hip-Hop o música electrónica (DJ Shadow, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, etc) por lo que veras mucho de eso aquí.

"Como regla, solo puse máximo 2 álbumes por artista para dar más variedad y decidí no incluir álbumes recopilatorios."

Tienes que prestar mucha atención a cada detalle, cada nota, cada arreglo instrumental... La ejecución es de otro nivel, la producción es sublime, un álbum casi perfecto. Cada una de las canciones son tan geniales que es imposible destacar solo algunas.

English review
You have to pay close attention to every detail, every note, every instrumental arrangement... The execution is of another level, the production is sublime, an almost perfect album. Each of the songs are so great that it's impossible to highlight just a few. [First added to this chart: 03/16/2023]

Un álbum sumamente recomendable para alguien que quiere comenzar a escuchar "Math-Rock" Los arpegios de guitarra son muy cautivadores y los cambios de ritmo en la batería son sutiles pero muy geniales. Amo cada una de las canciones pero "Never Meant", "For Sure", "You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon" y "Stay Home" son mis favoritas.

English review
A highly recommended album for someone who wants to start listening to "Math-Rock" The guitar arpeggios are very captivating and the rhythm changes in the drums are subtle but very cool. I love every song but "Never Meant," "For Sure," "You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon" and "Stay Home" are my favorites. [First added to this chart: 03/21/2023]

Motomami

"Motomami" llega con canciones vanguardistas, sonidos abstractos y asilados, en una mezcla de Reguetón alternativo, pop experimental y con influencias electropop.
Cada nota envuelve al oyente en un aura de misticismo e introspección, rematando con la sublime interpretación y voz de Rosalía.
Creo que esté álbum es la guía para que los artistas del género urbano, en habla hispana, comiencen a evolucionar y tomar más riesgos.

English review
"Motomami" arrives with avant-garde songs, abstract sounds and asylees, in a mixture of alternative reggaeton, experimental pop and electropop influences.
Each note envelops the listener in an aura of mysticism and introspection, ending with the sublime interpretation and voice of Rosalía.
I think this album is the guide for other Spanish-speaking artists to begin to evolve and take more risks. [First added to this chart: 03/08/2023]

Cuando un álbum alcanza tal grado de calidad como éste, las palabras sobran... Siempre he pensado que el Jazz y el Hip-Hop suenan muy bien cuando se combinan y esta obra maestra es un ejemplo de ello, también hay algunas influencias del soul y adquiere una fuerza inigualable con la carga política y social en las letras.

Hola, te escribo como respuesta al comentario reciente que pusiste en mi perfil en mi lista de albumes. Muchas gracias por el comentario. Además, consideraré comentar cada uno de los albumes como me recomiendas.
En cuanto a tu lista, también me ha gustado, veo que es muy variada y que te gustan los álbumes clásicos de bandas.
En relación a Keane, ese disco me marcó bastante en su momento, y todavía lo disfruto cuando lo escucho. Además veía necesario meter discos españoles ya que también han tenido gran peso en mi vida. De ninguna manera voy a dejarlos fuera por ser españoles, para mi siguen siendo de gran calidad. Como ves, yo no valoro la calidad general de un disco, sino lo que me ha hecho sentir ese disco, que es lo que realmente veo importante.
Un saludo

This is a good 50 - I know and love almost everything here. Special shout out to Keane at number 1 and also Travis.
Let me recommend 2 albums based on what you have and your comments - Neutral Milk Hotel In An Aeroplane Over The Sea - sometimes takes folk a while to really enjoy as it is kinda tortured folk; and Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago, lo-fi folk.
Get up to 100!
