Number 17: Myths of the Near Future

Another example of why 2007 was one of the best years for pop culture and media, MOTF is supposedly a sci-fi concept album, but you'll be too busy vibing and jamming out to the music itself to really notice. I don't rave or dance but if I did, it'd probably be to this album, especially with songs like Atlantis to Interzone and Gravity's Rainbow, with the other tracks being great too, Golden Skans is the most popular track from the album for a reason, it's a damn good tune, while Four Horsemen of 2012 is noticeably different from the rest but still great, being more of a hard rocking tune, especially with those vocals, even more pronounced in the demo version (the one used on the Xan Valleys EP). Even outside of those, they're just great to listen to while out walking, working (as in, a job or while doing something like drawing), or just driving around, just about any song would fit.
