This work, I think, shows him at his most creative and, incidentally, angriest. I adore every track on here - you're either getting a huge hearty slice of unboxed political poetry or a full aural immersion of good old blues, country, and rock and roll. I'm so glad Dylan went electric for the first time here, HOWEVER, that is in no way understating the glorious rough-roots harmonica jams he provides! My little brother once asked me what my favorite poem was and I started quoting "Subterranean Homesick Blues", haha! Goes to show how some talent never outgrows its audience!Bob Dylan Highway 61 RevisitedCan Tago MagoCream Wheels of FireGrateful Dead Anthem of the SunGrateful Dead Workingman's DeadMy Bloody Valentine LovelessWhen that snare hits twice at the very beginning...then God shows up. This is a huge album, a noisy, confused yet harmless behemoth. The main reason I dig what Shields, Butcher and Co. are doing on this album is that it sounds completely in place with today's thriving indie scene (and even about twenty years into the future, to be honest), but this was released in FUCKING 1991 and recorded as early as 1989! What an accomplishment! Loveless goes great with a cup of your favorite hot beverage, a psychedelic throw blanket, and your lover making out with you in between sips. Radiohead OK ComputerSex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex PistolsSMASH THE BUREAUCRACY, THE HYPOCRISY, AND THE XEROGRAPHY!rYes, in the track "Public Image" by his other band, Johnny Rotten explains that he gave the public "what they wanted" with the Sex Pistols, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating their cleverly calculated chaos on a musical level. Think of how many bands you listen to who have namedropped them and call me in the morning. And, um, excuse me but these guys ROCK LIKE EINSTEIN.Sonic Youth Daydream NationThe Beatles Rubber SoulThe Beatles RevolverThe Kinks Lola vs. Powerman and the MoneygoroundThe Mothers of Invention Absolutely FreeThis might just be my favorite album of all time. Zappa's inimitable satirical ramblings mixed with the sweetest freeform virtuouso jam-making around - yum! Why is it so overlooked in the history of prog? It's ONLY the first full-fledged concept album and no one seems to even acknowledge its existence! Et tu, Channel 4?Yes Close to the Edge4.5 superbAmon Duul II YetiSo tough yet so lightweight - like bones or spider-webs. Am I getting too philosophical? That's what stuff like this album will do to you! This has everything - Acid Rock, Krautrock, Folk Music, early Metal, Space Rock, Dark Ambient, Avant-Garde Experimentation, even an almost radio-friendly number ("Archangel Thunderbird"). Plus, it's PERFECT long-haul driving music. Highly recommended for Krautrock connosieurs.Can Future DaysCaravan In the Land of Grey and PinkWhile it may not be completely masculine to explore a land filled with middle school humor and light red hues, this has to be the best Canterbury Scene album I've ever heard. "Golf Girl" and the title track both work on me like Nesquik before I can say Nesquik, and let's not forget the epic jazz fusion closer, "Nine Feet Underground" - great rainy day music that makes me rather want to jump nine feet into the air!Cream Disraeli GearsGenesis Nursery CrymeGrateful Dead American BeautyLed Zeppelin Led ZeppelinMerzbow VenereologyMogwai The Hawk Is HowlingRadiohead In RainbowsRadiohead In Rainbows: From the BasementRadiohead The BendsSlint SpiderlandSonic Youth EvolThe Beatles Magical Mystery TourYes FragileYes The Yes Album4.0 excellentCan Monster MovieEmerson, Lake and Palmer TarkusGenesis FoxtrotLed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IISonic Youth Washing MachineSonic Youth Bad Moon RisingSuicide SuicideThe Beatles Abbey RoadThrobbing Gristle The Second Annual ReportYes YesYes Yessongs3.5 greatSonic Youth Sonic NurseYes Tales from Topographic OceansYes Relayer3.0 goodThe Beatles Let It Be
