10.27.15 | been needing to get into buckethead for such a long time now |
SharkTooth
10.27.15 | 28 is great agreed |
LotusFlower
10.27.15 | Check out the first 5 on this list then. Or his earlier shit like electric tears. |
L4titudes
10.27.15 | I think Population Override is the best thing he's ever done followed by Electric Tears. The pikes just aren't my thing. |
LotusFlower
10.27.15 | There's some good stuff in his pikes, but a lot of it is bad.
If I were to do 101-200 down the road, there would probably only be 25-30 something because a lot of them are dreadful. |

10.27.15 | pike 200 is probably his best album ever |

10.27.15 | Buckethead has some great stuff buried in his series, but a majority of the stuff he puts out is not fully fleshed out and not so great. It's nice to try to keep up though, since every once in a while he delivers a pretty interesting record. But the past month has been terrible for him, one album per day before Halloween. He could use some time off and ease back on the amount of albums he puts out.
From what I've heard here, 4 is okay but wouldn't be near my favorites, also can't believe I still haven't gotten around to 1 and 2, will try to listen later today. 12, 15, 39, 44 and 52 I found pretty poor, but there's some good stuff on 14, 20, 23, 29, 38, 49, 50 and 51. Other albums of his I enjoyed were "In The Hollow Hills", "The Left Panel", "Infinity Of The Spheres", "Along The River Bank" and "Tucked Into Dreams", which I recommend you'd check if you haven't already. |

10.27.15 | I guess 6 is pretty great. But other than that the whole pike thing has really ruined him for me. |

10.27.15 | Thanks man, I've been wanting to check out the Pikes, but there are just so goddamn many to sort through. I'll be checking some of these out for sure. |

It can help you sort through the stuff you want, comes in handy. |
DinosaurJones
10.27.15 | Haha, that exists? Wow. |
TheSpirit
10.27.15 | Great list btw. I love Buckethead. There was like five minutes back in high school where I owned everything he had released up until that point (including side projects) and then he released the "in search of the..." collection and I just couldn't keep up anymore. He has some seriously amazing stuff in his discography, really everything up until 2005 is at least great if not excellent. I need to get back into him. |
LotusFlower
10.27.15 | Oh wow, just woke up to see this featured. Awesome! |

10.27.15 | cool list won't check |

10.27.15 | I don't think I'll ever justify spending time to check all of them personally but cool list [2] |
ComeToDaddy
10.27.15 | Nice dude, most of this is on point though I'd disagree with 3 being anywhere near there (I'd have Look Up There in that position). Sad to see 49 so low too ): description 4 is so right though. Coaster Coat, Northern Lights, Listen For The Whisper and Passageways were all fantastic. |
Sniff
10.27.15 | Why are we treating Buckethead as a serious artist? Dude's obviously autistic and on top of that a terrible musician. |
LotusFlower
10.27.15 | @daddy, nothing beyond 5 is ranked so don't worry. Te rest are mostly put together randomly. |
Kronzo
10.27.15 | @Sniff explain why he's a terrible musician |
Davil667
10.27.15 | Buckethead rulez. Definitely need to get more into his stuff. I read somewhere that he was a student of Paul Gilbert which would explain a lot as he's a true master of his craft. |
BigLeach65
10.28.15 | Never listened to him. Where the fuck do I start? lol |

10.28.15 | "Why are we treating Buckethead as a serious artist? Dude's obviously autistic and on top of that a terrible musician."
haha this is the stupidest thing I've ever read |
DinosaurJones
10.28.15 | Big Leach, I probably wouldn't start with any of the Pikes.
I'd start with Colma, Population Override, Electric Tears, Bucketheadland 2 or Giant Robot. Those albums are all pretty diverse and you'llg et to see a lot of different styles. |
BigLeach65
10.28.15 | thanks jones |
BlacKapes
10.28.15 | not a terrible musician by any means, definitely autistic |
SharkTooth
10.28.15 | you clearly haven't heard anything from the guy if you say that he's a terrible musicican |
LotusFlower
10.28.15 | The dude is deff. autistic, but I don't know how that makes him a terrible musician. I'll give sniff you the benefit of the doubt that he didn't phrase himself well instead of thinking he's a total asshole. |
Aerisavion
10.28.15 | Great list buddy - its true a lot of his best material can sometimes be drowned in the mass of releases |
Froot
11.01.15 | "It's unlikely that anything like Pike 13 will happen ever again. "
Could never have said it better myself. Once-in-a-lifetime record.
Cool list. I consider him my favourite musician all thimgs considered but only really dabble in Pikes these days when they're specifically recommended. Agreed with the sentiment that he's autistic, might be the reason why his music means so much to me personally :P |
MrSirLordGentleman
11.02.15 | Never been a fan of this guy, I've always believed that if you create 10 albums per month by logic some of them will have cool songs but most of them are just meh |
Sniff
11.02.15 | By logic you can't create cool songs when you play solo guitar |
LapisLazuli
11.03.15 | that's like saying concert pianists are terrible musicians because they just play piano |
Tyler.
11.06.15 | By logic you can't create cool songs when you play solo guitar

jmh886
11.09.15 | hold me forever is way to low, even if ive only listened to a third of these. |
LotusFlower
11.09.15 | Only 1-5 are ranked. Everything else is random. |
BallsDeep
11.19.15 | 35 Leave the Lights on is tight |
