Yo La Tengo - Tumblr Posts
If you had to listen to a single album for the rest if your life, which one would it be? 👁️ Maybe explain why, too, if you'd like!

omg I love this question and hate it at the same time.
it wouldn't be my favorite, because I rather them exist only in loving memory than get old from hearing them too much. probably something long, with some good instrumentals. complex, but still calming.
maybe Dots And Loops (expanded edition) by Stereolab. It's a bit of a mess, almost two hours long, full of weird tracks too odd to be ambient but too empty to be anything else. also some lovely vocals. ooo actually I prefer their album Emperor Tomato Ketchup (also expanded lol). similar but more rock. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out by Yo La Tengo is also a contender. If I had to choose a proper rock album, I'd probably go with Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (Deluxe, obviously) by the Smashing Pumpkins.
