not exactly, although often it's the same, favorite imo is something current, something you get back to often. important is not necessarily enjoyable but something that moved you or changed you somehow, could be something you don't really like or listen to a lot in the present.

Tortoise - TNT. This album is immaculate. "In Sarah, Mencken, Christ, and Beethoven There Were Women and Men" is one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I think it reaches the sublime. The music on this album sounds like it is teaching you important life lessons when you hear it.

when i was 4:

 

joan baez - plaisir d'amour (a comp of joan baez songs)

 

7yo:

 

michael jackson - bad

 

approx 15yo:

 

the doors - the doors

wendy carlos - clockwork orange soundtrack

pink floyd - the piper at the gates of dawn

beck - mellow gold (i thought "wow this is allowed in music?" as my guitar teacher says there is no music policeman that will come and tell you "you can't do that")

beethoven - violin concerto

jeff buckley - grace + live from the bataclan (his best release imo, for "the way young lovers do" alone, much better than the version @ sin-é)

 

approx 18yo:

 

john coltrane - the complete africa/brass sessions

björk - homogenic

 

approx 20yo:

 

funkstörung - additional productions (didn't know ae by then)

aphex twin - rdj album

leila - like wheather (one of the most underrated electro albums ever)

autechre - ep7

freeform - human

plaid - rest proof clockwork + spokes

rza - ghost dog soundtrack (japanese import)

squarepusher - go plastic

 

later:

 

tom waits - swordfishtrombones

radiohead - in rainbows

stray cats - stray cats (bough a gretsch because of setzer!)

 

not necessarily the ones i loved most, but the ones that impressed me most, influenced me most.

 

i must be forgetting tons...

"the suspension bridge at iguazù falls" guitar intro is stunning. great album. to my knowledge (or in my opinion ;) they haven't released anything as good as this one.

!!! oh and some classical tapes my dad had in the car that keep haunting me and that make me love the sound of oboes.
