The 1975’s Matty Healy shares list of his favorite albums of all time

We were just wondering if noted ’90s Midwest emo fan Matty Healy was upset that Steve Aoki won the $23,433 auction for the original Cap’n Jazz painting, and just days later Matty has decided to remind the world how deep his taste in emo (and other styles of underground music) goes by sharing a new list on Tumblr of his favorite albums of all time. It’s loaded with cult-classic emo bands, many of whom happen to be playing Best Friends Forever fest this year. Will Matty be seen rocking out side stage like Steve Aoki was last year?

The list includes albums by Duster, Piebald, Texas Is The Reason, Refused, American Football, Mineral, Cursive, Rival Schools, Glassjaw, The Replacements, Braid, Jets to Brazil, Rites of Spring, Heroin, Drive Like Jehu, Penfold, Pavement, My Bloody Valentine, Algernon Cadwallader, Sunny Day Real Estate, Indian Summer, Nation of Ulysses, Brainiac, I Hate Myself, This Heat, Lil B, The Fall, The Streets, Suicide, Sigur Ros, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, LCD Soundsystem, Bon Iver, Radioheda, Yo La Tengo, Liquid Liquid, and lots more. It’s broken up into three parts and you can see it in full below.
