The Cure Pornography
As dark as "Disintegration" but within the guitar churn and paganistic chants hides an impish sense of revelry - this is Smith perverting the Ian Curtis of 'Atrocity Exhibition' and daring the listener to take their chances at the violence within.

Sonic Youth Goo
"Goo" hits the ground running with three straight perfect conversions of the Sonic Youth sound into the mainstream rock of the day that they had so inspired. It doesn't control its twists and turns with as much subtlety as other SY albums in the 4.0 bracket, particularly in the mid-section ('Mote' is two minutes too long and 'Mildred Pierce' two minutes too short), but finishes superbly with 'Titanium Expose'.

Baxter Dury Allbarone
Techno has to be one of the few genres where the older an artist is, the cooler they are. Nothing better than a salt and pepper bearded DJ.

Creedence Clearwater Revival Bayou Country
And here we find CCR at their moodiest, all low-slung guitar with darkly gleaming twang. It was close to all coming together.

Queen A Day at the Races
Having pushed their ballooning ambition seemingly to its limits across their first four albums, Queen paused to hone their mega-budget, genre-bending camp for "A Day at the Races". Immortal rock standards 'Somebody to Love' and 'Tie Your Mother Down' resulted with 'Millionaire Waltz' and 'White Man' keeping the band's whacky-loving fans happy.

Queen A Night at the Opera
Could any other band have made "A Night at the Opera"? The talent, the ambition, the campness, the tongue so firmly wedged in cheek? I do not think so.

  • Veldin Strongly disagree with yr Junkyard sound off. Lyrics are so good they're collected in King Ink. He's heavily influenced by southern gothic literature and his translation of similar content into lyrics for The Birthday Party is one of the best parts. And his performances are far from lazy
