What you said reminds me of "Colma" by Buckethead, which is mostly acoustic, whereas his other albums are primarily electric. I liked a few songs on the album and I plan on giving it a full listen. I'll also try out those other albums you mentioned.

17 albums in common. It's a good consistent chart. But it's so predictable. If you're looking for a recent album with "sonic impact" try 'Lonerism' by Tame Impala or 'Bloom' by Beach House.

It's a different kind of "sonic impact" to what you have in your chart as they're both laid back psychedelic/indie but they are ambient and hit you with many crescendos and unexpected twists. I would seriously recommend them and they would open up a new dimension of listening for you.

Still, nice chart, if a bit basic.

Not a bad start, interesting to see where it goes! If you're looking for "modern indie recs" still, try The Papersons, The Airborne Toxic Event, or White Lies. Given your chart, I think you'll like at least one of the three.

I appreciate your remark, JMan It's just that I always see people say "oh this list is boring/shitty because it has 5 beatles albums on it" so I try to limit myself to allow for other albums to get in. Btw expect some major changes to this list as I haven't updated it in forever.

Pinkly Smooth is a side project for the drummer and lead guitarist from Avenged Sevenfold, but they sound nothing like them if you ask me. It's like taking Mr. Bungle, Queen, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, ska, metal, and Nightmare Before Christmas and smashing them together all at once. They only released one album, Unfortunate Snort, and it's about a half hour long, with six songs. It's kind of like a shorter version of the White Album, but in a different genre. Most of the songs are 4 minutes long, with one 7 minute song, but each of them have a lot in them. The production is crap and sometimes the singer sounds funny, but I just love this album. The production, while not great, sounds natural, I love how the piano is used frequently, the drumming and guitar work are great, I love how crazy it sounds (the end of one song goes into a country style at the end for no reason other than it can), I think the songwriting is great, and I learn something new every time I listen to it. I probably won't do it justice with this comment, so you'll have to listen to it. I should warn you that you'll either love it or hate it with a passion, but it might take a few times to sink in. Try listening to Mezmer first, since that's the most well known song by them. Lastly, you can't buy it anymore, so you'll have to either get it through questionable means or listen to it off of youtube. The song order is on the album page.

Nothing wrong with this chart at all... Who's gonna criticize it harshly? Good stuff.

Who the hell are Pinkly Smooth?
