Not only is each record a timeless masterpiece, but they are a testament to the brilliant nature of modern art. If you were to listen to the soundtrack of everything I've ever loved, it would sound like this:
T-1. M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (2011)
Highlights - the whole damn thing.
T-1. MGMT - Congratulations (2010)

T-1. Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown (2010)

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts (2003)
DISHONORABLE MENTIONS
- Every Country-Pop album by any Country singer ever
• Blake Shelton, Toby Keith, Eric Church, Keith Urban. You know what it is. As much as I like wearing my dirt road on a blue jean while driving over a Friday night... screw that. Now, I'm not saying I can make better music, but what I am saying is that I can make no music. And admittedly, no music is astronomically better than this kind of music.
- MGMT and Vampire Weekend's 3rd records
• While these albums are not intrinsically bad, compared to their first two works, they definitely disappoint.
- Most of Coldplay's recent stuff
• You know why
Every Band of Horses Album after Cease to Begin
• A couple years ago, I asked my Mom to buy me an album from Barnes and Nobles, and I picked Mirage Rock. To this day, I can't believe I wasted her money like that. I'm sorry, Mother.
