MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (2008)

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (1968)

I respect Johnny Cash. I really do. I don't know much about Johnny Cash except for that really weird performance by Joaquin Phoenix in Walk The Line, which some people have suggested isn't quite accurate. In any case a huge turning point in that movie is when Johnny Cash decided to make his big comeback by performing a concert in a prison. I have no idea what possessed him to do that, but in any case that performance and this album have achieved legendary status.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Henry's Dream (1992)

I have no desire to return to the world of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. The last time I went there I felt Nick Cave really wanted me to kill myself, since all he talked about was death, and he sounded really corny doing so. Henry's Dream was made a few years before Murder Ballads, so hopefully at this point the band wasn't so obsessed with death. I'm still dreading this.
