If I really had to compile a list, it'd look something like this, in absolutely no order, and with a great expectation that it will change and evolve over time, just like any sort of categorization of exceptional art.

Here we go:

"Heroin" by The Velvet Underground (1967)
"Svefn-G-Englar" by Sigur Rós (2000)
"Talk Show Host" by Radiohead (1996)
"Bold as Love" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1968)
"Echoes" by Pink Floyd (1971)
"Peacebone" by Animal Collective (2007)
"Sir Psycho Sexy" - Red Hot Chili Peppers (1991)
"My Horse Must Lose" by The Sound of Animals Fighting (2006)
"Slow" by My Bloody Valentine (1988)
"Dark Matter" by Andrew Bird (2007)

I wouldn't call it my top 10 of all time as much as I would my top ten as of January 5, 5:14 PM.


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
