If I could suggest one or two albums…
The kind of albums that blow you away and you can recommend to anyone. Without furter ado, here is my list.
1st place
THE POSTAL SERVICE - GIVE UP
Soft, electronic, to drive and to fall asleep, timeless. To walk home, to walk with your dog, to go to work. I love it. To sell you this album I should refer you to Such Great Heights, and while I love it, I will give you my absolute all time favorite:

2nd Place
THE DECEMBERISTS - THE HAZARDS OF LOVE
The kind of album you have to listen to it fully. For the ones out there who have been paying attention, this is where Tallulah’s name came from. It has a beautiful story and amazing tracks. And below is how it starts…

3rd Place
SILVERCHAIR - DIORAMA
The best album by my favorite band of all times. Good, orchestra-y but rock-y. Rainy days. If you know me well enough you will be wondering why it only made third place. But Silverchair is in a category called “doesn’t even count”, ha. I recently remembered I never got the Across the Great Divide tour album and it’s been out for three years now. After I got it a couple of months ago, I wanted to kick myself for not getting it before. It got me hooked all over again.

Bonus - Best Soundtrack: ONCE
I seriously considered for one tiny second to mention the Garden State OST, which is amazing, but Once is outstanding and off the charts. Once is one of my favorite movies. It is touching, cute, beautiful really. And the soundtrack is addicting and everyone can relate to them. If you like Once, check out The Swell Season. :)
Below is one of the most powerful songs I know up to this date. I can’t listen to it without finding myself filled with je ne sais quoi.
