Shannon Stevens' albums of the decad

Shannon Stevens' albums of the decad

 

1. Definitely Radiohead's - Hail to the Thief

What a great ride that album is. It actually makes me feel as if I am flying. This is my favorite band ever, hands down, so they had to end up on this list. 

2. Great Lake Swimmers - Lost Channels

This one hit me recently. The instrumentation, the songs, that VOICE.... This album kills me. 

3. Clem Snide - Soft Spot

Soundtrack to a couple years of my life. It's a warm, tender tribute to sharing life with another person. My husband and I loved this album especially during the honeymoon phase of our own marriage. 

4. Arcade Fire - Funeral

I love their beautiful, sad anthems, and this album is incredibly strong and cohesive. 

Bjork - Vespertine

It accompanied me for much of the decade. It turned my brain inside out, comforted and challenged me. I have every last minute detail memorized. 

Sade - Lovers Rock

There's no better album for a dark winter's night after a long day of work in the rain. 

Half-Handed Cloud - Halos & Lassos

My kid loves this, and so do I. We listened to it in the car for probably close to a year. It's a collection of the most insane, quirky, earnest, really short praise songs in the world. 

Iron & Wine - Woman King

I love Iron & Wine, and this is my favorite of their (or should I say his) work. Love the songs, love the instrumentation, love it. 

Aimee Mann - Lost In Space

I put this album on when I need some healing. It's a hot shower and strong coffee for my soul. 

Joanna - The -Eyed Mender

I first heard it while pruning some blueberry bushes. Now I always think of those blueberry bushes when I hear it. Her songs and voice are so wacky, but so gorgeous and perfectly appropriate. Even when I don't know what the hell she is singing about, I still feel uplifted.
