15 Albums I Love
So I'm making a list out of boredom, these are 15 albums I can never
tire of and always come back to for various reasons. What are
everyone's all time faves? |
| 1 |  | Porcupine Tree
Fear of a Blank Planet
In my eyes easily the best PT release, awesome atmosphere and their best
realisation of prog mixed with the Opeth influence. Nil recurring is also great. |
| 2 |  | Elliott Smith
Roman Candle
"I'm lying down, blowin' smoke from my cigarette, whisper smoke signs that
you'll never get, You're in your oldsmobile driving by the moon, headlights
burning bright ahead of you, and someone's burning out, out on condor avenue,
trying to make a whisper out of you" I don't think RC needs justifying really. |
| 3 |  | The Stooges
Raw Power
I love raw power, it's probably the ballsiest and funnest album I own... Can't
split Search and Destroy and Gimme Danger |
| 4 |  | Kyuss
Welcome To Sky Valley
Sweet, rocking in the desert. This album is awesome to drive to in the late
afternoon |
| 5 |  | The Tea Party
The Edges Of Twilight
Majestic, hard rocking album with really cool world/Eastern influences.
Musicianship is amazing for a three piece. |
| 6 |  | Tool
Lateralus
Sometimes maligned largely because of the meathead contingent of their fan
base, Tool still have a great discography. Lateralus is Tool at their peak. |
| 7 |  | You Am I
Hi Fi Way
I'm a self confessed You Am I fanboy, I can't help it. This is probably their best
effort. |
| 8 |  | Grinderman
Grinderman
I love how Nick Cave can have such a decorated, sophisticated discography and
then come up with "No Pussy Blues". |
| 9 |  | Eels
Souljacker
Introverts unite! |
| 10 |  | Rosetta
Wake/Lift
I think plenty has been said on sputnik about Rosetta already, they are a great
band. |
| 11 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Often forgotten, a spooky and atmospheric album that is just as good as Songs
for the Deaf imo. |
| 12 |  | The Drones
Havilah
Twisted, frustrated, beautiful and full of rage are The Drones. Think Minor
Threat having their brutal way with a band like Wilco. |
| 13 |  | Isis
Oceanic
Again, much hyped here on sputnik, but my first taste of post and it still gets
regular plays. |
| 14 |  | Nirvana
Nevermind
This was huge for a reason. |
| 15 |  | Sonic Youth
Sister
Probably my favourite SY album, who are one of my favourite bands. |
