Sweden 1982 🎸

Hi all!

I am a pretty big jangle pop fan, having gotten into it with the Byrds, the Smiths, and REM. The last couple of years I’ve expanded my data base to bands like The Bats, The Chills, a lot of that NZ Jangle sound, and a bunch more tidbits from the 80s and earlier.

Recently, I’ve decided to contribute to a blog and review albums as a side passion project. Now I’m not promoting that nor will I link it, since I have nothing to show yet. I was just hoping to get some albums to add to the list. Whether that be staple, genre defining stuff, or underground fresh releases, open to everything. It’s a genre that touches a bunch of different places, and while I am doing my research, I know that I’d miss some things if I didn’t ask.

Moving on to the weekend with this heavenly jangle-pop … 🎸

Hi everyone!

I hope this kind of post is allowed here. I'm doing a little project where I go to different subreddits of music genres and I ask the members what the best album of that genre is. After this, I listen to the album that got the most upvotes after 24 hours and write my thoughts about it (I will write this as a comment under this one, so if you want to read it, make sure to check back in 2-3 days. This won't be a professional review btw. I don't know anything about music theory so it's just gonna be the thoughts of a random guy). The list I'm following is Wikipedia's list of the most popular music genres in a randomized order. I'm planning to listen to one album per day and this time the genre is Jangle Pop. So please recommend me an album in the comments. It could be the best one in your opinion, your personal favourite, or the album that best represents this genre according to you, but please, only submit one album. If you submit more than one in your comment, it won't count (If you really want to submit more, do it in separate comments). LPs are preferred, but EPs and mixtapes are also acceptable, even compilations and live albums if they're not too long. I don't know anything about this genre so I'm going in blind.

This is the 232nd day of me doing this. If you want to see what the previous days were, check out my post history.

Thanks to anyone who recommends an album.

TL;DR: I listen to a new genre every day, so recommend me one album and I'll listen to the most upvoted one and write my thoughts about it later.
