________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

60/70s:
Jimi & The Experience - Are You Experienced
Jimi - Electric Ladyland
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
The Stooges - Fun House
Black Sabbath - any of the first 3 LPs

80s:
nuthin? still learning to "appreciate" that decade

90s:
Rage - Evil Empire
Radiohead - Ok Computer
System of A Down - s/t
Nirvana - rarities, alternates (i have a nameless 3 disc one)
Korn - any of the first 3 records

00s:
Mars Volta - Deloused
Mars Volta - Frances
Radiohead - In Rainbows
The Black Keys - Attack & Release or Chulahoma
The White Stripes - s/t

They were definitely the most appealing of their peers

But metal just never hit me that way. Y
Given that your list encompasses the major foundations of metal, im surprised you have no 80's selections.

>
>80s:
>nuthin? still learning to "appreciate" that decade

Husker Du, Replacements, Jesus and Mary Chain, Pixies, Dionsaur Jr, Sonic Youth... there's lots of great '80s rock if you look even a little bit.

Love the vandals and descendents tho

The songs are so catchy it barely feels like hardcore and it's not some lame pop-punk either which Descendents frequently came close to even if I like them too. No, just really catchy punk-*rock*, highly recommended album...

nothing in that genre has even come close in terms of how much I have played that album

----------
https://93millionmilesabove.blogspot.com/
https://rateyourmusic.com/~Kosa12

1. U2-Joshua Tree (OR Achtung Baby, can't pick, they are just the best!)
2. Patti Smith-Horses
3. Radiohead-OK Computer
4. the Who-Quadrophenia
5. Deftones-White Pony (or Smashing Pumpkins Mellon collie and the infinity blandness)


SIKE!!!!!!!

you have good taste imo so I'm genuinely curious

...and rock is about as meaningful genre-descriptor as R&B is. However, thefollowing albums I love a lot and have played more than any other rock-albums:

Stooges-Funhouse. ALWAYS my first pick. The funny thing is that when I first heard it, I had already heard this type of gritty rock played like more modern bands like Union Carbide Productions (stupendous swedish 80's band-peep "In the air tonight" and "From influence to ignorance"!) and Mudhoney, Fluid, Bored!, Cosmic Psychos, Les Thugs and others and yet, it STILL knocked me right the fuck out and I played it over and over. Needless to say, I don't play it too often anymore but when I *do* feel like playing it, it still knocks me out.

Black Sabbath-Master of reality (or Vol. 4; I feel the latter is a more "complete" album and the one I've played the most but "Master..." is the one that feels like Sabbath in their purest form). Another "boring" pick but what can I say? I was raised a metalhead and Black Sabbath are my Beatles, I've listend to them regularly for 30 years and still love the first 4-6 albums.

Alice Cooper-Love it to death (Killer is just as good but if forced, I'd pick ''Love''). Alice Cooper may not be the most respected band (yes, it *was* a band, like Sade) but on the low, their four album run from "Love it to death" to "Billion dollar babies" is one of the strongest in rock-history to me. While "Billion..." is the most famous album and IMO the peak of glam *and* theatrical rock (yes, I like it more than Ziggy Stardust, sue me), I still prefer the earlier more gritty and detroit-rock sounding stuff. And "Love it to death" is just perfect; like a smarter, less hairy MC5 or a less primal but more tuneful Stooges. I like every song and it's diverse as well with a song that is inspired by the Doors that still doesn't suck, in fact it's dope (=Black ju-ju) and a killer ballad ("Ballad of Dwight fry"). And "I'm eighteen" is one of the most perfect rock-songs ever; "Is it my body" is not far behind. Fabulous record.

Captain Beefheart&his magic band-Lick my decals of baby. My favorite avant-garde/"weird" rock album. I love approximately 8-9 Beefheart albums but this is the best IMO...

the Byrds-Younger than yesterday *or* Neil Young "Everybody knows this is nowhere". The former is my favorite pop-rock band and the latter my favorite singer/songwriter and I *think* these are their best albums.

Clutch - Pitchfork And Lost Needles
ft (the Shadow Government) - Guns Of August
Overkill - The Years Of Decay
Cromlech - Reconciousness
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera I can kind of see but not those bands. Not saying it's wrong or anything but for me, I don't really think of metal of that type as ''rock''. Shit, personally I can barely hear Maiden or Priest (the latter minus some songs) as ''rock''...

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Pescado Rabioso - Artaud
Almendra - Almendra
Invisible - El Jardin De Los Presentes

this list is clearly biased as fuck though because one person is the central composer of the last three albums I listed there, so if I were to limit Luis Alberto Spinetta to one album, the second half, after Souvlaki of the list would look like this

Pescado Rabioso - Artaud
The Beatles - Revolver OR Sgt. Peppers
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon OR Piper At The Gates of Dawn

bowie - diamond dogs
the strokes - is this it
stooges - raw power
little richard - georgia peach
nirvana - in utero

That album is frequently considered a relative bummer compared with the preceding three albums and just a rehash of the glam-rock formula but I for one think it's really cool too. Also, songs like "1984" as well as the almost Alice Cooper-like theatrality of some of the other songs on side 2 give it a special vibe compared with Ziggy and Aladdin Sane, I actually like it more than the latter...

and you can see the transition from the ziggy/aladdin sane era to the plastic soul stuff that came after on there - i think sweet thing is still one of his loveliest, most soulful songs but it still has some of his all time best rockers, like rebel rebel.

never knew you were such a u2 fan btw!

They are the worst, each one of the records I picked completely blows... I eman, Deftones? "Horses"? Quadrophenia?? I might as well have mentioned Genesis "the lamb lies down on broadway" or Alanus...

Serious question tho; is there any 'modern'(lets say 90's plus) mainstream rock records you like? It seems you kind of make it a point to take down anything modern and mainstream

Which I understand, much of the time the seminal records are superior to their subsequent disciples. At the same time, I ain't gonna disparage a smashing pumpkin fan, lol. It's not like they are Panic At The Disco or 'Live'


>They are the worst, each one of the records I picked
>completely blows... I eman, Deftones? "Horses"? Quadrophenia??
>I might as well have mentioned Genesis "the lamb lies down on
>broadway" or Alanus...

I've enjoyed all Queens of the Stoneage albums to various extents even if some are kind of "meh!". I liked Soundgarden before they became too "alternative-whine" rock on their last album(s). I had no problems with bands like White Stripes and Black Keys even if I'm not a fan. Mastodon were great. All those bands are/were mainstream I think...

Seriously, as long as the music ignores either the

a)Post-U2 aesthetic where every song regardless of tempo is essentially a ballad with drawn out vocals and guitars that lack a percussive punch and drive, instead relying on "texture" instead (which rules out all the Radiohead/Coldplay/Arcade Fire/whatever-shit) which I've been allergic to since I first heard U2 in 1981... Still unfortunately an issue in modern rock

b)Post-grunge Creed/Silverchair shit that I can *still* hear in a lot of modern rock, especially in the "modern metal" category. That's an instant turn-off. Same with music rooted in the same era like the post-Soul Asylum/Goo Goo Dolls aesthetic which I also still hear traces of in *mainstream* modern rock.

c)pop-punk/emo tendencies which really isn't even a big problem anymore; that was more an issue before, same with rapping in rock obviously...

d) Lame attempts at sounding "cool" or "modern" by overrelying on "dusty" loops and industrial effects (both a big issue in the 90's) and shit that, again, really is just texture-nonsense that has nothing to do with the quality of rock since it to me kills the "blanks" and necessary spaces between the sounds necessary for any "drive" and make everything a "wet" soup instead.

That's my main issues

Beatles - Abbey Road
Radiohead - ok computer
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Van Morrison - Moondance

That's a great record. Definitely one of my faves. Songs for the Deaf too

Jordan!

Doves - Some Cities
PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
John Frusciante - To Record Only Water For Ten Days
The Dears - Gang Of Losers

"We in here talking about later career Prince records
& your fool ass is cruising around in a time machine
trying to collect props for a couple of sociopathic degenerates" - s.blak

but they aren't necessarily a rock group.
i would thought about prince, "purple rain" and "sign of the times,"
but again...
not necessarily rock.

so i'll go with

beatles, "magic mystery tour"
nirvana, "nevermind"
rolling stones, "sticky fingers"
jimi hendrix, "axis: bold as love"
john mayer, "continuum"


that's the stuff i listen to most often.
i am looking for a smiths album to put in there, but
all of their albums have songs that i don't like.

i like all of the songs on the albums that i listed above.

2. Carcass- "Heartwork"
3. Fear Factory- "Soul of a New Machine"
4. Mr. Bungle- "Disco Volante"
5. Ween- "Pure Guava"

Making this list made me realize how rare it is that I like an entire rock album.
Most of my favorite rock songs appear on albums that I don't listen to all the
way through. Such as "Arcarsenal" by At The Drive In, "Runnin' With The Devil"
by Van Halen, "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin, HELLA Fishbone songs...
that list could go on all day

Without doing too much self-reflection, this is the top 5 currently on my mind...Keep in mind I'm focusing on albums that either had a huge influence on me for an extended period of time or albums that I simply just love to listen to...

In no order

avy by buckshot_defunct

1. Radiohead - The Bends
2. Led Zeppelin - II
3. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
4. The Beatles - Revolver
5. Pearl Jam - Ten

That's tough. On another day I could've easily picked
Audioslave - Audioslave
The Cure - Disintegration
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Jeff Buckley - Grace
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

the golden era:
Demon Fuzz - Afreaka!
The Zombies - Odyssey & Oracle (or really, the Zombies Season box set if i can count that)

(*i.e. Beatles, Jimi, Dylan, Bowie, Radiohead, etc.)

http://freshselects.com
Low Leaf - AKASHAALAY http://bit.ly/_FSX-003
Mndsgn - Inedia remix EP http://bit.ly/FSX-002_
Mndsgn - Breatharian album http://bit.ly/FSX001_

I'd have to put at least one of their albums in my top 5.



The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars
Velvet Underground & Nico
The White Album (couldn't settle on a Beatles album, so I picked the longest one with the most different flavors on it lol. It might not be my favorite Beatles album, but it would probably be the one I'd take with me to a deserted island)
Led Zeppelin IV
and since I wanted to include a recent album...
The Strokes - Is This It



I couldn't settle on a Bob Dylan album, but he's in my inner circle as far as GOAT artists. Same with the Stones. Also, Nick Drake's Pink Moon would technically qualify but it just seems soooo far removed from rock music.
