Silver Apples - Silver Apples & Contact (1968 & 1969)



A female friend of mine reccomended this group to me. And i must say this shit is amazing. These albums were released in 1968 and 1969. After listening to these albums i must say they were way ahead of thier time. Gloomy and layered production. Psych Proto Electro Rock. Gotdamn it i love music.

Sleepy's Theme - The Vinyl Room (1998)


If you are an Outkast fan, them you might know of a a certain crooner they associate with named Sleepy Brown. Did you guys know he released one of the best R&B albums in 1998? This is his first solo album under Sleepy's Theme. And what an album. Nothing but that laid back smooth late night driving around your ride type muzik. Please dont pass on this album its is really that good.

The Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge (1983)

Oh you love The Killers dont ya? Well I am pretty sure they listened to this album 113121323 times and tried to duplicate it.. This band gets overlooked like crazy. This album is really good. Man the 80's had some great music. Anywho check this album out its awesomeness.

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)

After Joy Division sadly disbanded, the remain members started New Order. This is thier 2nd album and my favorite. Yes this album has the infamous "Blue Monday" song that u have probably heard 213123123 times. But I dont mind it at all. As of matter of fact It is not the best song on the album. Really you say? Well check it out and prove me wrong!

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (1973)

Stevie basically said "Aight. I'm blind as a bat, but I'll be damned if I don't make a great record" And he did. 9 amazing songs. "Higher Ground" sounds like had a "columbian cold" when he created it. (This is why drugs made better muzik in the late 60's/70's). Anywho, whatever he saw in his visions worked.(booo another classless joke.) Classic album. Don't miss out.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (1996)

I am not gonna front the first time I heard this album I was sooo high i could have consumed a star.(Yes i just quoted Lil' Wayne). I thought it was THEE greatest album in the history of life. Well I must have been REALLY high cuz its not. But it is a great fuckin piece of music. If you are a hip hop DJ and never heard of this album, please die. Yes its thhaaat gooood. check it out!

The Cure - Disintegration (1989)


Words can not express the greatness of this album. After a string of somewhat poppy but equally dope albums, Mr. Smith went hella Darth Vaderness with this one. "Plainsong" and "Pictures of You" are audio perfection. And thats just the first 2 songs. Please give this a spin.

A Tribe Called Quest - A Low End Theory (1991)

No I am not gonna go on a tirade on how this album came out in a era when hip hop WAS Hip Hop, or will I dismiss the current state of Hip Hop or will I rant about why is Weebie and Flo-Rida relevant in 2008. Basically, if you want to listen to a great hip hop album from the 90's then this is your ticket. okay still in doubt? Kanye West loves this group! YES OMG thats means it is cool!

Boston - Boston (1976)

Thats right people. Boston? really??? Yes its true. This album is really good. Yes its a FM Radio darling. But can you really hate on More Than a Feeling? I know everyone sings this little diddy when it comes on and DOESNT change the station. Oh and how can you NOT like "Foreplay/Long Time"? The intro has one of the sickest drumming ever. Please dont knock the "cheesyness" of the band and give it a go.

Slayer - Reign In Blood (1986)

Hi. I am the reason every thrash metal band exists. They try to emulate me, but fail. miserably. Basically, I am the one of the greatest metal albums ever. If you claim to be a metal fan and never heard of me, then I should slap the shit outta you. But first listen to me ASAP. thank you drive thru.

Portishead - Dummy (1994)

Timeless Trip Hop beats. Beth Gibbon's haunting voice. This album is years ahead of its time. Hip Hop heads: listen to this album and tell me that its not some nice shit. TELL ME. If you love happy music, then this album is not for you. If sad music makes you happy, then listen to this album now. Classic.
