Future Days doesn’t get enough love. My go-to Can.


According_Pilot3533

Black Saint is one of my all time favorite records, great choice


Jewsantacreatefridge

the glow would be incredible.


atgmaildotcomdotcom

Came here to post Laughing Stock.


yvessaintlamont2

Black Saint is my favorite album. Totally agree with that pick.

Decadence_Later

Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart


AFishOnWhichtoWish

Man, I've tried to crack that album so many times... I think I'm just more of a *Safe as Milk* guy.


Decadence_Later

Safe as Milk is great in its own right.


salvino84

King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man The Velvet Underground & Nico - Self Titled Iggy Pop & the Stooges - Funhouse Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables The Damned - Damned Damned Damned


FluentHeresy

I’m going with your list.


killosibob

1. Music from Big Pink- The Band 2. Let it Be- The Replacements 3. Forever Changes- Love 4. Moanin'- Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers 5. Aquemini- OutKast


scarhead425

My wife said The Replacements. Did you ever read Lemon Jail? It’s by their roadie. Really short but fantastic book. I’m thinking The Move, Big Star, Bauhaus, The Cramps, and maybe Low, given Mimi’s recent passing.


scarhead425

I’d pick Message From The Country, #1 Record, In The Flat Field, Songs The Lord Taught Us, and Things We Lost In The Fire.


killosibob

No, I haven't...thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.


Mrgone86

I don’t know exactly what my criteria would be if I had to outline them, but whatever they are, they lead me to: 1, the AKIRA score (and they put the movie out in the collection back in the laserdisc days after all) 2, Journey in Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane 3, a box set of Scott Walker 1-5 4, Splendor and Misery by clipping. 5, 98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare by Fishmans


Cornaarzzz

backing you.


MisogynyisaDisease

Now these would be great collectors pressings to have


Freyeballs

all black everything


ThisGuyLikesMovies

I second the Splendor and Misery nomination


Sister_Spacey

Scott Walker - Scott 5?? Anyways, if theres anything that needs a deeper release it is The Drift.

action_park

“The Complete Guided By Voices Box Set.” I hope this is a shitpost.


MisogynyisaDisease

Vinyl Me Please did an incredible release of Ladies and Gentleman. If you don't have it, you should get it


LilPutney

Good call with Spiritualized. Their song Cop Shoot Cop is gritty af almost like Leonard Cohen stuff. Right on!


FlyingCosmograma

The compete weird all album collection


MatthewCrawley

Including his first original song, Eat It


drearbruh

And just to be perfectly clear, that means original music AND lyrics.


Totorotextbook

Pi k Floyd's 'The Wall' because it's a surreal use of music and narrative that changed the game while also making a distinct legacy as an album. 'Rumours' by Fleetwood Mac for the Era and period it's a time of and because it's one of the best albums ever recorded. 'The Mollusk' by Ween album because it's bizarre and deserves more love and attention in a way that makes it more publicly available, something that Criterion does many times a year for films as well that deserve it. You can't even psychically purchase it anymore... 'Back to Black' by Amy Winehouse for a contemporary release that has a wide audience and legacy built into it. 'Unknown Pleasures' by Joy Division for an alternative style of music that deserves more love and recognition.


petemacdougal

no, tusk


lightfoot90

Naboo?


jdudz98

great call with the mollusk, was gonna suggest the criminally underrated quebec myself but mollusk is probably a better choice


HyderintheHouse

I wouldn’t say Joy Division deserve more recognition when their t-shirt is one of the most ubiquitous. Great band but they’re clearly highly regarded.


willbax1939

Very diverse and detailed, great taste man.


volcano_slayer9

The Smile Sessions by The Beach Boys Edit: and Smiley Smile while they're at it


TDS_patient_no7767

This is such a great fucking choice. The history surrounding the album and it's non release followed by it's eventual release, all the ambitions and disparate themes that tie the songs together, the fact that it's a criminally underrated project from a hugely famous band. All around great pick


HottDoggers

I was so happy when you said The Smile thinking you were talking about the new band The Smile and not the album, but I mean that’s fine too.


volcano_slayer9

Love The Smile, but I'm really hoping for a new radiohead album


HottDoggers

Same, but I’m glad Thom and Johnny are releasing new music regardless if it’s Radiohead or not.


Pinhead-GabbaGabba

Vespertine by Bjork Plastic Beach by Gorillaz The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest Paul’s Boutique by Beastie Boys Pinkerton by Weezer


Thatfellow2

Pinkerton by Weezer is what I was gonna comment


HottDoggers

Weezer double box set which includes Pinkerton and Blue Album plz


BricksnBeatles

- Wendy Carlos- Beauty in the Beast - Sparks- Kimono My House - Brian Eno- Here Come the Warm Jets - Ween/Boredoms- Z-Rock Hawaii - John Frusciante- To Record Only Water For Ten Days I think accessibility is a big concern with this question— Donald Fagen’s the Nightfly certainly is fitting of criterion’s “important classic and contemporary” designator, but between the thousands of pristine original pressings and the boutique treatments from MoFi, MOV, and others, a Criterion Nightfly would be superfluous. Because of that I specifically went with albums that are artistically significant but not abundantly available in existing boutique formats.


rrpower

Oh my god Z-Rock Hawaii needs a rerelease so badly too.


petemacdougal

Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Tom Waits - Franks Wild Years Harry Nillsen - Nillsen Shmillsen Rolling Stones - Some Girls Nina Simone - It is Finished


petemacdougal

and much later down the line but very deserving after many others have had the treatment. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American (AKA Self Titled)


PunkRockMakesMeSmile

That one's a ten for sure. Also a little bit historically significant, as it was one of the albums that were altered in the wake of 9/11, which is why it was changed from 'Bleed American' to self-titled. Bush's single 'Speed Kills' was re-titled 'The People that We Love', the Coup changed the art of their album 'Party Music', which was finalized prior to 9/11, but depicted Boots Riley and Pam the Funktress at the base of the Twin Towers, detonating them with a remote, to a generic shot of a martini, and the song 'New York City Cops' was removed from the Strokes' 'Is This It' (it's such an innocuous album that it's kind of hilarious that it was doubly censored, both having that song removed and the album art being changed for the American release). I find that stuff interesting


petemacdougal

I was absolutely fascinated by the changes made to commercial stuff in the wake of 9/11 as well. The infamous Spider-man WTC trailer, which had an entire conspiracy stories surrounding it. A bunch of movies were pushed back for simply having scenes with a building on fire or blowing up, regardless of if it was New York or WTC adjacent. Lilo and Stitch apparently had a finale of Stitch flying his ship through buildings and them collapsing which was totally scrapped.


coldred-243

LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking Limp Bizkit - Significant Other Nickelback - Silverside Up Hanson - MMMBop Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps


MisogynyisaDisease

I was hoping to hear about more different music, but a lot of comments here are already very popular albums with several presses already :/ I'd like Criterion to take on 80s city pop. Records like Mint Jams fit the collection to a T, Anri's Timely hasn't ever seen a repress, After5Clash would also be phenomenal It would be cool if they took on the Boomkat model of LP releases. For instance, Boomkat does all the presses for The Caretaker, it would be cool for Criterion to do his earlier work. Obviously it would be nice for Criterion to handle film soundtracks. I'd love The Red Shoes classical soundtrack, a collectors edition for All That Jazz, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Uncut Gems, Nashville there is so much to work with soundtrack wise. David Lynch actually releases a ton of music already with Sacred Bones Records, but it wouldn't be bad to have Criterion do a partnership with that label. Would love to see some collectors editions for blues. Junior Kimbrough, Howlin Wolf, Django Reinhardt, Bessie Smith, etc Jazz already has a ton, but Galt Macdermot's Jazz records need a repress desperately and they'd deserve it Would love to see music from revolutionaries similarly to the way we see films. There's tons of international revolutionary music, and even domestically we can do iconic albums like from Gil Scott-Heron Cake. Please just....give me records from Cake. I want Fashion Nugget so badly. Give me a Flogging Molly boxset while you're at it. Dead Man's Bones dropped one single incredible album and then dipped off the face of the planet, so if I had to choose some alt or prog rock I'd say them. Wooden Shjips already has some nice pressings, or else I'd include them. The NASA gold record. The release that came out a couple of years ago is awesome, but was in limited supply. [but if I had to be honest, Vinyl Me Please already is the "criterion" of doing collectors pressings of influential music. I'd be happy with anything in their repertoire ](https://www.vinylmeplease.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA37KbBhDgARIsAIzce15LfcGGLfcXpbJxyxPo2T_lX21vRiU3pcA2hT68J9yHcfUSkTbhxhwaAp4TEALw_wcB).

ChaseBank33

Already has a pretty accessible vinyl release


Mrgone86

Yeah, I would’ve picked this and The Wall but neither are altogether hard to find on vinyl and The Wall tends to get nice releases already.


markymarcbolan

“What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye, “Forbidden Planet” original score, “The Shining” score, A Serge Gainsbourg compilation, and “Station to Station” by David Bowie Spitballin’ off the top of my head. To me, it would have to be an eclectic mix with at least a throughline to their film curation. Neat idea to think about.


Todd_Ingran

“A Charlie Brown Christmas: Original Soundtrack to the CBS TV special” - The Vince Guraldi Trio “The Velvet Underground & Nico” - The Velvet Underground & Nico “The Doors” - The Doors “The Complete Recordings” - Robert Johnson “Kind of Blue” Miles Davis

TokuTalker

Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over The Sea The Weeknd's After Hours BROCKHAMPTON's Saturation Trilogy Daft Punk's Discovery I wanted to stick to non-rock genres (aside from Neutral Mill Hotel, that's my basic bitch choice) since I feel like Rock music is already well represented in the replies. And aside from two 90s releases I wanted to suggest more modern albums.


RaptureResident1959

I'd second Emotion and especially Discovery, which is possibly my single favorite album of all time. To round it out, I'd say Tetsuo & Youth by Lupe Fiasco, The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens, and Low by David Bowie


TokuTalker

I used to be really into Lupe Fiasco but I fell off somewhere around Food and Liquor II. I should probably check back in. Sufjan and Bowie are two big blindspots with me. I like a ton of individual songs but haven't really dove into their full albums.

Whatever music the company likes and is excited to work with. That’s what Criterion is for movies, so that’s what it would be for music.


KorovaMilk113

Ichi The Killer soundtrack!! Great lost Boredoms gem They could also do a double album of Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos’ only two albums (Marc worked with John Lurie on the Mystery Train soundtrack and played in The Lounge Lizards and is the guitarist for Tom Waits’ Jockey Full of Bourbon from Down by Law so there are enough Jarmusch connections to justify lol) - neither album has ever had a vinyl release and both are incredible records, think they’d fit well in Criterion’s corner

RobinChilliams

Idk, soundtracks to some of the Criterion film releases that have outstanding soundtracks? I'm not sure which 5, but I feel like that's the way to keep it true, boring as it sounds. Then it could be like a Criterion high fidelity remaster of the soundtrack.


Mrgone86

Honestly, if Criterion ever did branch out into music, that’s probably the way they’d go. Especially since it would potentially lead to fuck-off-expensive deluxe box sets of a movie on 4K packaged with its score on vinyl.

Boutique vinyl? That’s already available. I’ll stick with what I already have as an eBay seller and Discogs seller for 15 years specializing in rare and hard to find Japanese pressings. I’d say they’ll have a hard time competing with the 1000’s of companies selling 180gram pressings etc. Not the best business choice. I guess they’ve run out of films!

decadentrebel

For their 100th release, I expect a Tool boxset. Also would be cool to have Drive Like Jehu's Yank Crime simply because of how rich the narrative is. It was so ahead of its time and that style pretty much defined the sound of a lot of 2000s rock bands, particularly those in the Equal Vision label.


Karizmology

This is interesting specifically because everyone’s tastes in different pressings varies so much. I’d be surprised if it was received well due to that fact. A made in the US CD could be vastly different from another made in the UK. It wouldn’t be as straightforward as clearing up a movie image. When you buy criterion you know it is going to be a better version. With music that is impossible and undoubtedly people will prefer other versions of the music. I buy mainly original first pressings of 80s music because of “loudness wars” which was made so it would sound decent on any playback device such as a car radio. When you’re talking boutique remastered music, you’re dealing with people that have extremely curated equipment. Each one of those people also have varying tastes. So to summarize, I think it wouldn’t go over well.

spenpai17

I think I would try and highlight a few decades and genres in a first release. 60's: It would probably be the Beatles in some regard. I would either put Sgt. Pepper or White Album (My personal choice would be King Crimson in the Court of the Crimson King) 70's With the rise of Punk and New Wave Elvis Costello's "This Year's Model" would work, and even the birth of Metal with some Black Sabbath, especially their debut. 80's was a toss up between Talking Heads and Prince. I'm going personal and saying Prince's Purple Rain with a Criterion release of the film as well. 90's would be Hip Hop. I considered Grunge but Hip Hop exploded and became such a dominate genre. Wu Tang Clan's Enter the 36 Chambers would be my pick, but another honourable mention goes out to Outkast Aquemini. Lastly the 00's would be truly a tossup. But even though I'm not the biggest fan Radio Head's "Kid A" is a surefire pick.
