Must pick one per genre or deliberation will never end:
Rock- OK Computer, Radiohead
Jazz- Bitchs Brew, Miles Davis
Classical- Late String Quartets, Beethoven (Alban Berg Quartett)
Hip Hop- Damn, Kendrick Lamar
Electronic-Pre Millennium Tension, Tricky
Could make 5 more of these lists which are certainly no worse

Reinbert de leeuw: satie early works part 1
Tool: lateralus
The cure: disintegration
Radiohead: kid A
Yo yo ma & Emanuel ax: brahms cello sonates
A hundred style points for Pharoah Sanders. I couldn’t pick just one of them so I picked Alice Coltrane’s Journeys in Satchidananda instead.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you meant BoC had a new album coming out (I was anxious to read about it).

I own and love that Alice Coltrane album - it’s a great one. Wall Street Journal just had an article about an up and coming jazz harpist, and she had a couple of quotes about AC as inspiration.

Sorry to revive an old thread, I had to try my hand. Excited to check out many of these too. This is about as tough a question as I can think of. The stuff that is my favorite is not the stuff that I’m sentimental about is not the most acclaimed stuff is not the stuff that changed my perception of what was possible (usually). That’s a lot of what makes this hard.
- Something sample-y and explosive: Amon Tobin - Permutation (Honorable: Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma)
- Something jazzy and comforting: Kamasi Washington - Harmony of Difference (Honorable: Sam Wilkes - Wilkes or Bill Evans)
- Something vulnerable and intimate: Frank Ocean - Blonde (Honorable: Massive Attack - Protection)
- Something to remind me of my 20s: Radiohead - In Rainbows (Honorable: The National - Boxer)
- Something to remind me of Dad: The Sea and Cake - Oui
This totally leaves off (among other things) a lot of techno I love (often from the 10s rather than the 90s) which is the music I listen to the most these days. Ah, well.
Five triple-gatefold LPs should at least make a good temporary shelter on the island, with the disc polybags as water collectors and the LPs themselves as frisbees, maybe one day life raft floats… or sun hats.
