Records that NEVER get old

Listening to DLJ ‘yank crime’ tonight and loving the hell out if it as always. I’ve been into it since it was released and I think it’s probably easily the most listened to record in my personal history by a long stretch- so many things make it a great album and that 30years later I’m still finding little things in the (many) layers to love has gotta be a sign of some enduring greatness. I have no doubt this record would ever get old - and I’ll still be getting chills when I’m 70 when the bridge in Super Unison kicks in, or at the drumming in Golden Brown…

What’s yr jam in the timeless album stakes?

Very basic choices, but

Fleetwood Mac Tusk
Autechre Confield
Breeders Title TK
Bedhead Beheaded
Will Oldham Arise Therefore
The Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground
The Cure Seventeen Seconds
Talk Talk Laughing Stock
HTRK Psychic 9-5 Club
Dylan Highway 61 Revisited

Uff... a lot.

Classic AC/DC is pretty much timeless, as is Black Sabbath, Stooges, Stones 67-71...

Records I like even more now than 20-30 years ago?

Unwound's and some Kyuss. Also JL, Polvo. Really can't live without them.

I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to Strasbourg by Ten Volt Shock since it came out 13 years ago, but it’s probably in my top 5 noise rock albums of all time.

It's weird what music sticks with you and what doesn't.

When I was a kid, my parents listened to REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity a lot. That record grew on me to where I loved it too, and to this day I still love it, and won't ever get old.
