We then started to think about the last time an album moved us (and yes, I know I am dating myself by using the term "album - LOL) It took me a little bit to think of one that Idid truly enjoy. The last Foo Fighters was very good, as are any of the White Stripes albums. But the last time I was seriously moved by anything was the last Tool CD - I love Tool & wish they'd put out more albums. But fuck, the last one was 2001, so it's been 3 years.
Back in the day, I was just floored by all the bands & albums coming out one after another that were just fucking great. Nirvana's Nevermind & In Utero, Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream, Pearl Jam's 10 & Versus, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blow Sugar Sex Magic, Soundgarden's Bad Motor Finger, Tool's Undertow, Alice In Chain's Facelift & Dirt....the list goes on - all of these album's moved me when they came out & I can listen to any of them right now & feel comfortable.
Of course, I was on a lot more drugs back then

Yep, that tingle down the spine feeling you got when listening to a great album, especially for the first time, seems to get less and less these days for me.... although I'm sure there is loads of good shit out there ... and I'm just out of touch...
There are some albums I can listen too that still have same effect for me like they did back in the 80's... Joshua Tree.. Lou Reed's New York, REM's Green... those were the days!!! Don't know about there being more drugs back then.... but damn it - the
quality was better
