Albums For Your Eyeballs
So good you can actually see the awesome in the muzak |
| 20 |  | Fantomas
Fantomas
Their self-titled will always be the perfect mood-killer or mind opening excursion
into serious avant-garde depending on what room your in. |
| 19 |  | Interpol
Turn On The Bright Lights
This is one for a desert island if i've ever seen music so good (in the dome of course) |
| 18 |  | Faith No More
The Real Thing
Can't help but just say YES to all these great comebacks! "Motherfucker" is already
in my head on repeat all day! FTM is back!!! |
| 17 |  | Battles
Gloss Drop
Pretty sure this LP is incapable of growing more complex and terrifyingly in-sync no
matter how many countless listens you give it. Never ending joy? thanks (also John
Stanier just rules on drum-kit!) |
| 16 |  | Beck
Mellow Gold
Still perfect for any rainy-day occasion that may occur in the depths of, say, a
hungover stupor? Well its fair to say this as close as Beck has come, to my mind,
to Dylan in style. And after all, if Kevin Barnes is the new David Bowie then what is
Beck if not the new Bob Dylan? |
| 15 | | Small Faces
Ogden's Nut Gone Flake
Unbelievable 60s psych-heavy rock masterpiece |
| 14 |  | David Bowie
The Man Who Sold The World
"Supermen" is one of the best closing tracks ever and certainly my fav Bowie
closing track. |
| 13 |  | Nirvana
Bleach
Knock out debut: plenty has been said about this classic...but damn this funky
punky is the real deal. |
| 12 |  | The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses
I really need to check their 2nd LP out but finally got into this a couple years back
and am still in love with their immense wall of sound meets MBV meets The
Proclaimers sound....epic |
| 11 |  | of Montreal
Aldhils Arboretum
Often glanced over in their catalogue: the band really just feels loose on this CD in
a good way - much akin to "lousy with sylvianbriar" but with a more "Only A
Northern Song" feel so there's a great deal of that weird Beatles sound as well as
the progressive notes that harken back to VU and early Floyd. don't miss out if you
love of Montreal. |
| 10 |  | The Strokes
Room On Fire
Ladies and gentlemen the most hated band in the indie world with their best work |
| 9 | | Modest Mouse
Lonesome Crowded West
Could not be more pumped when I heard this was good driving music and popped
this into the 'ol CD player in the 'ol truck and just kept on truckin i tell ya |
| 8 |  | Moby
Play
Enter Moby with my FAVORITE electronica album - nothing like it and with the
shape of what seems to bee happening to the genre this will without a doubt be
revered as the high watermark for "House" or dare i even say it "techno" |
| 7 |  | Portishead
Third
Proof that golden comeback albums can happen (let's all hope Failure and Slowdive
follow suit) if Indie Cindy is the worst thing that can happen to a reunion then this is
clearly the best of all possible outcomes for Portishead. |
| 6 |  | Ornette Coleman
The Shape Of Jazz To Come
Just love the way a plastic sax sounds? then check this out! |
| 5 |  | Tool
Undertow
Never ceases to amaze, bewilder, entice, or excite with its melodic bliss - |
| 4 |  | Deftones
Around The Fur
Favorite opening track to pretty much anything 90s-present |
| 3 |  | Radiohead
Amnesiac
YOU HAVE- - - - - - - - - - - - - -A- - M- - N- - -E- - - -S --I - -A |
| 2 | | Pink Floyd
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Still more influential than Dark Side |
| 1 | | Art Blakey
ANYTHING
The greatest drummer IMO |
