Music for sickmen and junkheads. It's certainly not pleasant, but it might help you out of the dirt when you're down in a hole. It's the most focused AiC without being too druggy and still with Layne Staley's unique vocals.

He's the music maker and the dreamer of dreams. And he's doing a great job with it. Standing in a great place between chilled out ambient soundscapes and rave parties.

THE new age album, at least in the pure ambient, yet distinctively melodic sphere of new age music. Complete with glorious synth washes and choral bliss, this album light as a feather will take you under its wings to some unimaginably peaceful place.
Favourite tracks: "Icarus" & "The Tower of Minos" [First added to this chart: 09/03/2017]

Tribal samples fused with electronic, danceable rhythms. The blend of modern and ancient may seem quite odd at first, and indeed it is, but the end result is quite fascinating and satisfying... once you get used to those ethnic vocals, that is!

Idyllic... in a very depressing way!

Having fear of the dark? Be sure to put this on to get in the right mood! Some of the most epic stuff Iron Maiden have ever made. Includes the title track and the almost forgotten single "Wasting Love", two songs that made me fall in love with the band.

"Summer in Hell" as some haters have dubbed it! It was a commercial failure and critics point at it as the artistic low point of the band's whole career. The bottom songs are decent, but quite average. Other songs are lame, but the good fun kind of lame. Others again are fairly strong if not at the very top of Beach Boys' career. Flawed, but not something "transcendentally" bad as it's made out to be!

The future sound of The Future Sound of London would prove to be much more ambient and otherworldly than this club-oriented debut, but even with something as danceable as this, FSoL managed to make something stunning and still quite spacey!

A fascinating chart--full of surprises. Ok Computer, Grace, Nevermind, and The Bends are all fantastic albums deserving of their positions here. I've never listened to The Good Life, nor am I familiar with many Danish artists generally, so that's one I'm going to try out to expand my musical horizons. Thanks for sharing this list!

Great chart. I like the way you've nailed your appreciation of Mariah Carey to the mast and put it out there, with her albums rubbing shoulders with more established classics. Kudos for making this chart a celebration of what you enjoy.
