Definitive Records asks interesting Vancouverites to pick the three albums that anchor their musical tastes. Today, we hear from the chef/co-owner of The Acorn…

“It’s fucked up how hard it is to choose only three. Five was relatively easy, but axing two of those gave me grey hair. Anyways, here goes nothing…”

REFUSED – The Shape Of Punk To Come | LISTEN | “Even after growing up on punk rock, this album still lived up to the title in ’98. There may or may not have been some air punching to this album.”

SIGUR ROS – Takk | LISTEN | “Took my wife-to-be to this concert on one of our first dates and fell in love with Sigur Ros…and incedentally fell in love with her, too.”

THE KNIFE – Silent Shout | LISTEN | “It’s hard to believe an electronic album beat out Tom Waits, but dammit this album is good.”
