Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't have a favourite album of all time, but I do have favourites for certain genres/vibes.
For just putting on as some music in the background it's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin
For metal, it's Behemoth, either The Satanist or I Loved You at Your Darkest.
For electronic music, Biceps Isles is great, and when I used to run, it's great exercise music. But in that same vein Palaces by Flume is also excellent.
For down tempo vibes it's gotta be Mezzanine by Massive Attack, although Music has the right to Children by Boards of Canada is a very close second. And fuck actually Dummy by Portishead
For more classic easy listening vibes, Chicago 2 by Chicago.
For something I think anybody can enjoy, it's plastic beach by Gorillaz. It's their best album by far and I love a concept album.
When I want to hear BEAUTIFUL music that also goes hard, it's John Hopkins immunity. I had the title track play at my wedding and it captured the vibe perfectly.
So I guess no, I don't have a favourite album
