Apparently the only album on my all-time Top 100 that I didn't add myself and is still on only five or fewer charts (including mine) is this one:


The Complete Pet Soul by Splitsville

...and I was thinking about maybe bumping it off, in fact. It's one of those albums that has a few (in this case, five, maybe six) really, really good tracks on it, and the rest are... just okay. What they did was to add 7 tracks to a 4-song EP (which they only sold at the 1998 Poptopia Festival) to make a so-called "Complete" version, but TBH only two or three of the added tracks are up to the original EP's standards.

Maybe I'll go and listen to it again right now... ๐Ÿค”

Sticking with a Beach Boys tribute theme...


The Songs of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys by Various Artists

This is on just two charts (both mine). Yeah, I added the album, I also think it's great. Not to be confused with yet another B Boys Best Of, it is a tribute album that was recorded in Gasgow, with many of the biggest names in Glasgow's indie pop scene getting involved. It's quirky stuff but really true to the spirit of the Beach Boys and genuinely one of my all time favorite albums (narrowly missed my overall chart). The album even came with an interview with Brian doing a track by track commentary on the covers. He was really excited to have Alex Chilton on the record (because of the Box Tops not Big Star though ๐Ÿคฃ ) Anyway, this is super charming and nicely weird tribute album.

From my overall chart (which I just updated) the ones that have 5 or fewer charts (and in 2 cases, 6, but minus my charts there are like 1 or 2 other charts that include em), in order of adoration:


Farce by Rudimentary Peni

(This is an EP. But maybe my fave EP ever. Incredible anarcho-punk insanity!)


Misery Index by Assรผck

(A crime I tell you. Not just a Deathgrind classic, but probably my second favorite Deathgrind record ever - widely hailed record in that, admittedly quite niche, subgenreโ€™s history)


Voices by Wormrot

(Modern kings of Grindcore. One of the last decadeโ€™s greatest bands and their best album to boot)


Old Chestnut by Ned Collette

(Probably the least extreme of these albums. This is a gorgeous and somber singer/songwriter album that sonically works in the slow, drowsy, minimalistic contemporary folk style. If you love Cohen, maybe youโ€™ll love this?)


Monuments To Thieves by His Hero Is Gone

(That one really surprised me. Itโ€™s a classic hardcore punk/sludge/crust punk album)

and


Hate In Me by Moss Icon

(Probably understandable considering their classic compilation of all recorded works includes this. But man this is some of my favorite emotive hardcore and incredibly influential to the sound and genre in the decades following its 1988 release.)

Edit: look how all the albums share that ominous black and white style!

The Crystal Mansion by The Crystal Mansion

On two charts. Really good rock / funk / soul album with a bit of psych rock thrown in.

Honor by Jimmy Chamberlin Complex

Jimmy Chamberlain of the Smashing Pumpkins put out this solo album a couple years back, really cool record with (obviously) some excellent drumming.


Between Days by Kiefer

A very chill but still musically engaging record of beats from Kiefer that I feel only gets better as it rolls along.
