Thanks! Im not familiar with a few of those. If you check out my overall list, Atomizer, Goat, At Action Park all rate quite highly but I havent decided if they should end up here or a future list (or maybe both). Similar with Fugazi and Hash Jar Tempo/Montgomery/Bardo Pond. Red is one Ive never rated though should probably be on my 7.3+ list and a future genre one centered around Prog. |

The last 3 albums might be way more interesting to you as I don't think I've seen you mention them anywhere. Some of the finest heavy depressive rock music that I've ever heard. Makes a fantastic counterpart to the dark morbid indie rock of people such as Mark Lanegan, RHP and Nick Cave. These guys display such a poetic attention to detail that it completely separates them from both the usual prog and the usual heavy metal music that we often hear. |
Thanks, my interest is sparked! Always looking for peak examples of different varieties/culminations of expression/creativity. Also re: Capt Beefheart <-- on the "Blues" genre list. Doc might join them upon a revisit

Oh and I can't believe that there's ton of comments about the freaking BEATLES on this list. I think they're great but there's no reason to assume that everybody MUST think they're great or any good at all. And it's not like people will forget all about the poor obscure Beatles if you give Revolver 5/10 or something. |
No big deal, I don't mind discussing it (though I feel there are far more interesting albums/artists to discuss), and when the discussion sometimes gets too impulsive/out of hand, Seth and I tend to resolve things as needed.
I moved it over to my criteria page where we've also discussed the worst album ever made, Appetite for Destruction

Bleach is Nirvana at its punkiest and most spontaneous. Sometimes its my favorite album of theirs, but I generally go with a 6.5. Temple of the Dog is one that I may add to the 7s. All 3 of the Aerosmith's have a very good shot at being added -- need to revisit. Similar potential with Deep Purple and Blue Cheer. Jane's Addiction should definitely be included (revisit). Have I heard Fire and Water? Ill have to check... Dont believe Ive ever heard Frijid Pink...

Holy crap, has anyone heard Stabscotch's Uncanny Valley!?!?
I have been listening to it today after finding out Scaruffi gave it an 8/10.
He might be underrating it though. Incredible sprawling monster-piece. I don't know what my own rating will be yet (at the moment it seems like an 8.5) ...as there is an absurd amount of material to acclimate to (100+ minutes!! ...and all of it quite creative), but it will surely be added here once I make a decision. HIGHLY recommended (but only to those that can handle very intense, highly unpredictable music that is quite experimental for 100+ motherf***ing minutes: cross between Pyrrhon and Pere Ubu might be the most concise -- though not truly adequate -- comparison).

Added Stabscotch's stunning Uncanny Valley. Will not be surprised if I upgrade it to 8.5 but want to be more sure first (one way or the other).
