Bitches I'm Back
Ban uplifted, FUCK YES! Now I can waste my life leaving needless comments and refusing to do reviews, aww yeah. A lot's happened, Sixth Form, lack of girls, emotional breakdowns and Expo. Here's a brief musical runthrough |
| 1 | | RECENT LISTENS
Album |
| 2 |  | Beck
Odelay!
Not a 5 for me, there is a filler. Most of the acoustic songs are boring. Where It's At, Devil's Haircut and Novocaine are tight |
| 3 |  | Bjork
Homogenic
I fucking love Bjork. Just sayin |
| 4 |  | Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited
Finally got some of Dylan. This is the one I've listened to most. Yes, it is indeed awesome, but I can't see it as OMG BEST ALBUM EVAR yet. I guess you had to be there |
| 5 |  | Brand New
Daisy
If this is their swansong, what a fucking swansong it is. Close to a 5. YES I SAID IT, SHUT UP |
| 6 |  | The Clash
London Calling
In English Language, we studied the obituary The Guardian did for Joe Strummer. This is probably a 4.5 realistically, but I gave it a 5 over how badass it is |
| 7 |  | David Bowie
Low
The lesser of the two (Lodger can fuck off). A fantastic album, the pop songs don't properly work on their own, unlike Heroes |
| 8 | | David Bowie
Heroes
The pop songs actually work, the ambient pieces are helluva darker, and the title track is simply gorgeous. 5/5 |
| 9 |  | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing
I am a student... of the drum |
| 10 |  | Iggy Pop
The Idiot
Nightclubbing is creepy as shit (used brilliantly in Trainspotting) and the scream in China Girl is orgasmic. Yes, it is mostly a Bowie album, but that doesn't stop Iggy from being a fucking legend. Surprisingly dark |
| 11 |  | Kate Bush
Hounds of Love
The other two Bush albums I have (The Kick Inside and The Dreaming) I don't get, but this I do. The first side is full of great, artistic and emotional pop songs about love, the second side is a dark, bleak and mysterious insight into the mind of a girl trapped underwater, left to drown |
| 12 |  | Moby
Play
This went from a decent listen, to a fantastic album, to a 5. For an electronic record of 19 tracks, there are no fillers. Surprising |
| 13 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND |
| 14 |  | The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Sure, it's not original, but it's an uplifting, nostalgic slice of 90's British indie pop done by an American band in 09 |
| 15 |  | Radiohead
The Bends
I prefer this to Kid A. Fuck you Sputnik |
| 16 |  | R.E.M.
Automatic for the People
It annoys me how many people shit on R.E.M.. They're a band EVERYONE should listen to, especially this. EEEVERYBODYYY HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURTS... SOMETIMES |
| 17 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground and Nico
If they kicked out Nico, this would be flawless |
| 18 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
Rolling Stone gave this 3/5 then named it worst album of the year. LOLWAT |
| 19 | | BAND DIGS
|
| 20 |  | Arctic Monkeys
Humbug
I've liked them forever, but I finally realise just HOW awesome they are. And I like Humbug |
| 21 |  | Buzzcocks
Singles Going Steady
Ever Fallen In Love is a surprisingly dark-sounding song |
| 22 |  | Cream
Disraeli Gears
They had awesome drums back in the 60s |
| 23 |  | Dir en grey
Withering to Death
FUCK YES JAPAN |
| 24 |  | Editors
The Back Room
Shut up |
| 25 |  | Frank Turner
Love, Ire & Song
Greatest singer-songwriter in years. UP YOURS JAMIE SHITTING T GET SOME BRACES YOU FAGGOT |
| 26 |  | Justin Timberlake
Justified
What?! Cry Me A River is the best pop song of the 00s |
| 27 | | The Las
The La's
You've heard There She Goes. TRUST ME. Epic songwriting is epic |
| 28 |  | Mastodon
Crack the Skye
I liek m4tuhl |
| 29 |  | My Bloody Valentine
Loveless
Kevin Shields has cancer. Too much distortion does that |
| 30 |  | Opeth
Blackwater Park
I just downloaded their stuff yesterday, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN MISSING |
| 31 |  | Pixies
Doolittle
Because they're the fucking Pixies and everyone should listen to the fucking Pixies |
| 32 |  | Sigur Ros

| 33 |  | The Stooges
Raw Power
This is how you rock and fucking roll |
| 34 |  | Thrice
Vheissu
See Opeth |
| 35 |  | Tori Amos
From the Choirgirl Hotel
So I hear she got raped when she was 20, and had three miscarriages in the space of an album. Fucking sucks |
| 36 | | BANDS I WANT TO DOWNLOAD
The top 10, no order |
| 37 |  | Fugazi
Repeater
Singer fronted Rites of Spring and Minor Threat. Guy has credentials |
| 38 |  | The Smiths

Perhaps I would've already if Morissey wasn't a tit with flowers growing out of his arse |
| 39 |  | The Mars Volta
De-Loused in the Comatorium
At the Drive-In (y) |

Complete with AIDS-denying Foo Fighter for a bassist |
| 41 |  | King Crimson
In the Court of the Crimson king
Best album cover ever? |
| 42 |  | Wire
