>implying opinions

WHAT IS CONSIDERED /mu/-CORE
  • while people may argue about things being added or removed,  /mu/-core at heart will always consist of 6 distinct album.

  • In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
The second and final album by the lo-fi, fuzz-folk band Neutral Milk Hotel, released in 1998. Generally loved by most all /mu/tants. 
  •  OK Computer - Radiohead
The third studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. Nearly universal praise on /mu/ as well as a critical success on the "mainstream". This is the one that made Radiohead a household name.

  • Kid A -  Radiohead
The FOURTH studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. Hotly debated as Radiohead's best and most influential album. It's generally harder to get into than Radiohead's other albums but dont let that stop you.
  • Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective 
The eighth studio album by group collective Animal Collective. /mu/'s little psychedelic darling and Animal Collective's most entry level album. The most critically acclaimed album of 2009. It's tough to explain how good it is.
  • In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
The debut studio album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. /mu/'s dad-rock classic. Hailed as "a  surreal work of force and originality" 


  • Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
 The second studio album by alternative rock shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine. "wall of sound" wild child of /mu/-core. A landmark work of the shoegazing and responsible for it's mainstream appeal despite the albums initial poor commercial success.
