The 50 Albums Everyone Needs to Own, 1963-2013

1966 brought an embarrassment of riches: The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, The Beatles’ Revolver, debut albums from The 13th Floor Elevators and The Mothers of Invention, Otis Redding’s Soul Album, The Monks’ proto-garage classic Black Monk Time, and plenty more. There are cases to be made for all of these, but Blonde on Blonde wins out because it’s 2013 (thus far): Standish/Carlyon — Deleted Scenes

2013: Ex-Devastations duo Standish/Carlyon’s just-released Deleted Scenes, which layers futurist melodies over some of the densest dub-influenced low-end sounds you’ll ever hear. (Your correspondent wrote about it for The Quietus here.)arguably Dylan’s best record.

Own them? I haven't even heard of 2/3 of the artists, much less the albums.
