More Intensely Impressive Jams
alllllllllll the music |
| 1 |  | The Arrogant Sons of Bitches
Three Cheers For Disappointment
if this album doesn't put a big, goofy smile on your face, you're either deaf or dead |
| 2 |  | Sublime
Sublime
a celebration of all things music. every song is a winner. smoke weed erreday |
| 3 |  | Coil
Horse Rotorvator
fascinating sounds |
| 4 |  | Red Krayola
The Parable of Arable Land
more fascinating sounds. crazy quintessential ahead-of-its-time shit from the 60s |
| 5 |  | Funkadelic
Maggot Brain
i definitely prefer the sprawling, spiraling psych jams that bookend the album to all
the soul songs in the middle, but it's all awesome |
| 6 |  | Minutemen
Double Nickels on the Dime
this is just bonkers. forty-three songs and endless fun |
| 7 |  | Mahavishnu Orchestra
Birds of Fire
pretty much the epitome of 'music for musicians,' but thankfully i'm a musician, so
this fucking rules |
| 8 |  | Bad Religion
No Control
amazing straight-up classic punk. no bullshit |
| 9 |  | Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Freak Out!
The Mothers of Invention put out a lot of awesome shit, but barely any of it's here.
this album's a bit boring, to be honest |
| 10 |  | Gang Starr
Moment of Truth
as far as classic hip-hop goes, i don't know what more you'd want |
| 11 |  | Tom Waits
Rain Dogs
more than twenty years old and it's still as eerie and potent as ever. one of my
new favorites. the LYYYRRRRICCSSS |
| 12 |  | Kayo Dot
Blue Lambency Downward
strange & wonderful. dem atmospherez |
| 13 |  | The Number Twelve Looks Like You
Mongrel
quint/essential mathcore. music to burn math textbooks to |
| 14 |  | Arcade Fire
Funeral
i feel like an idiot. of course i heard this for the first time a while ago (although still
after The Suburbs, i think), but it just didn't hit me. my ear wasn't trained enough
to analyze delicate textures n all that. they're subtle. but at the same time, they're
blindingly obvious. i mean, 'Power Out' sounds like it was recorded in the damn
Coliseum. anyone with a trained ear should be able to discern this album's
magnificence. a true modern classic. |
| 15 |  | Lights Out Asia
Eyes Like Brontide
cool electronic-infused post-rock, if a bit melodramatic at times |
| 16 |  | The Doppelgangaz
Lone Sharks
deep, gritty beats and great rhymin'. no bullshit |
| 17 |  | Binary Star
Masters of the Universe
Endless, ingenious rhymes accented by entrancing beats accented by many an
ingenious sample. if you haven't heard this, get on it. |
| 18 |  | Tortoise
TNT
Just as good as Millions Now Living Will Never Die. All kinds of instruments and all
kinds of sounds to make all kinds of moods. A wondrous journey |
| 19 |  | Animal Collective
Strawberry Jam
I've been trying to get into AC for a while now. I love the vibrant, bubbly textures
and the fun, cartoony melodies- but there's still something in the way. Weirdly, this
is the album I feel the closest to at the moment, out of this, Feels, Sung Tongs,
and MPP. i think we need to just chill with lucy and then i'll finally fully get it |
| 20 |  | Neurosis
Through Silver In Blood
The band that's turning into my favorite band. The band that should've been my
favorite band a loooooong time ago |
| 21 | | Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes
dayyyyyyyyyyyy AFTER dayyyyyyyy i get AAAAAANGRYYYYYY and i will
sayyyyyyyyy that the dayyyyyyyyyyyyy is in my siiiiiiiiiight when i take a
BOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW and say goodniiiiiiiiiight |
| 22 |  | Public Image Ltd
Flowers of Romance
wonderful torture music |
