I'm going to listen to the top 3 upvoted albums and give you my honest unfiltered thoughts.

Please explain what makes the album special to you. For context, lyrics are very important to me, so I gravitate to music with good storytelling.

Alright! Results are in. I'll be listening to:

Lateralus - Tool
To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins

(I know I said 3, but I couldn't resist!)

Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid

Cyborg woman defies her programming and falls in love with human man, thereby becoming a government target, and as chase ensues, she ascends to messianic status. But if you want, ignore the delicate lyricism and allegorical social commentary and focus on a stream of delicious melodies, meticulous arrangements, and effortless genre-hopping between funk, neo-soul, pastoral folk, theatrical orchestra, bossa nova... It's an album that begs to be loved.
