Coolest Albums Ever
Just the 25 coolest albums I've ever heard that I can think of right now. |
| 1 |  | Lou Reed
Transformer
Lou Reed, he was pretty cool. And he called the African American females "colored
girls" which is pretty cool I think. |
| 2 |  | Iggy Pop
Lust For Life
How can a guy who's name could so easily be misspelled as "Iggy Poop" possibly
make a cool album? I don't know. It just happened I guess. |
| 3 |  | LCD Soundsystem
Sound Of Silver
Can middle aged fat people be cool? It depends I guess. If they use big words and
and acknowledge that they are fat old people then they can be pretty cool I guess.
Also if they wear cool suits that's cool too. |
| 4 |  | Jimi Hendrix
Electric Ladyland
Can black people be cool? I think they are automatically born cool. Is playing the
guitar behind your head cool? I think it is. This albums really cool then. |
| 5 |  | Miles Davis
Kind Of Blue
What about black people who play trumpet and were born like a million years ago?
Yeah, they're cool too. Pretty sure Miles Davis was the first person to ever be cool. |
| 6 |  | The Strokes
Is This It
What about good looking rich white guys wearing vintage clothes and playing super
slick vintage garage rock? Yeah that's cool too. |
| 7 |  | The Velvet Underground
White Light/White Heat
Is "Sister Ray" cool? Is it cool to say "sucking on my ding-dong" in a song? Well, I
suppose it is rather cool. I guess that makes this one pretty damn cool. |
| 8 |  | Ramones
Ramones
Can being a weirdo be cool? Can being an awkward tall skinny guy wearing weird ass
sunglasses be cool? Conventional wisdom says no. But what if that awkward tall
skinny glasses wearing weirdo has a leather jacket and ripped jeans and is a lead
singer of a punk band and has a goofy voice? Oh, then it's really cool. |
| 9 |  | Sonic Youth
Goo
Is it cool to spell cool like "kool"? |
| 10 |  | David Bowie
Low
Is David Bowie cool? Is the sun hot? |
| 11 |  | Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures
Isn't cool a mild form of cold? So shouldn't an album this cold be extremely cool?
Yep. |
| 12 |  | The Smiths
The Queen Is Dead
Is the Queen cool? Not at all. Would it be cool if the Queen was dead? Maybe. |
| 13 |  | Pixies
Doolittle
If you like this album are you automatically cool? Yeah. |
| 14 |  | Television
Marquee Moon
I already said guitars are cool, right? So that would make this album pretty cool huh?
I'm also pretty sure being a relatively obscure band from a legendary era of music
also makes you cool. |
| 15 |  | Weezer
The Blue Album
Is it hip to be square? No, but it is cool. This album is cool. If you can rock out and
be a nerd at the same time you must be pretty damn cool. |
| 16 |  | Wu-Tang Clan
Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Is mixing together gangster rap and soundbites that sound like they're ripped right
out of some cheesy kung-fu movie cool? Yeah, obviously. |
| 17 |  | T. Rex
Electric Warrior
Is it cool to be cool? |
| 18 |  | Bob Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home
Is going electric cool? Yep. Is being on the pavement thinking about the government
cool? Yeah. Are Tambourine Men cool? Of course. |
| 19 |  | Talking Heads
Remain In Light
Is being uncomfortably awkward and square cool? Hell yeah. Is it cool to start an
album with the line "Take a look at these hands!"? Yeah why not? |
| 20 |  | The Who
My Generation
Is it cool to smash your instruments? Trash hotel rooms? Drive cars into ponds?
Dress up as a nazi and parade around london like a drunken idiot? Hope to die before
you get old? Yes. |
| 21 |  | The Rolling Stones
Let It Bleed
"You can cum all over me!" cool. |
| 22 |  | Otis Redding
Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul
Is having soul cool? Yeah. |
| 23 |  | The Clash
London Calling
Jesus Christ!!! Where Did YOu Get That Cadillac??? It's cool. |
