Your Top 5

ARNC

I just can’t get there with books. There are many I’ve enjoyed over the years but only one stands out for constant revisiting. A slight cheat as it’s a collected works, but for me it’s The Complete Saki.

@Joberwocky:

Interpol - Antics

Thanks for the reminder….

Top Five Cringiest songs that have not aged very well

I am not going to post these for obvious reasons. But feel free to look them up for yourself I can actually think if way worse songs but they are completely in poor taste. The list escalates quickly…

I was made for lovin' you -Kiss
I can dream about you- Dan Hartman
Are you ready for the sex girls? -Gleaming Spires
Gunpoint Affection- Black Market Baby
Little Girls- Oingo Boingo

Honorable mentions:

Anything by GG Allin
Turn Japanese- the Vapors

I had a larger list compiled in my mind earlier but I can't remember now. I know there's another one great one I'm forgetting.

Joberwocky

@Filthy you've got some brutal songs there, bud

Pity on the person who uses that list to make a playlist

Matt

This one should def make that list…

SKT

Just a momentary selection of four out of my top 100.

SKT

Doolittle and Sgt. Pepper’s in my first draft as well. Doolittle is the soundtrack to me leaving home for college and Pepper’s is my childhood.

TOOL:
1 - Aenema
2 - Lateralus
3 - Fear Inoculum
4 - 10,000 Days

Not Tool top 5:
1 - Mastodon - Crack the Skye
2 - Metallica - And Justice for All
3 - A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
4 - Lamb of God - Wrath
5 - Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled

A lot of honorable mentions on this list.

@BloodnThunder very much a man after my own heart. Love how you had a TOOL top 5 and still snuck a perfect circle album in there

@SKT:

Let the Right One In (original)

Like there was any doubt

@LewisStonehouse I've got a fair bit of bias, Maynard & Co. put out way too much good music not to be included on all the lists.

SKT

@Joberwocky Right!? What a great flick. So unsettling and cold.

Joberwocky

Absolutely @SKT . Solid horror list

Fadez

After giving this some thought. Here’s mine…

Top 5:
Ott - Blumenkraft
Ott - Skylon
Emancipator - Dusk To Dawn
Piebald - We Are The Only Friends We Have
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

The most honorable of mentions:
Jay-Z - The Blueprint

So many great lists here!

Evige blumenkraft! I do love Ott, @Fadez

Fadez

Right on! Glad you know and appreciate his music

xtcclassic

Some of these answers may change every time you ask, but here’s my answers as of right now:

Tool - Fear Inoculum
Radiohead - OK Computer
Deftones - Koi No Yokan / Ohms (I really can’t decide between the two)
Queens of the Stone Age - debut self titled album
The Strokes - Is This It
Guns N’ Roses - Appetite for Destruction

That’s five, right? I suck at math.

VERY honorable mentions:

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth
Tame Impala - Lonerism

And last but not least, and this is an album that basically no one has heard that definitely belongs in my top five-ish but I don’t know which album to pull off the list:

Tilts - self titled

I cannot say enough good things about this album. One of the very best rock albums to be released in the last 20 years. Criminally unheard. Starts strong and just keeps getting better with every song.

@jerkules:

@riffblaster general I’m a newbie here, never realised I was rubbing shoulders with a musical hero!

Seriously though. Jane Doe was a formative experience for me, I was about 14 when it released and it blew me away. Seen you guys a few times over the years in London, always a wonderful experience. Anyways, big thanks and love!

And thanks for connecting the dots for me @Giles. I love the image of Paula, unaware of what’s about to happen, in the pit for Converge

thanks for saying that! Giles can attest though… I'm a nerd.

IHM-37-KHA - Oiled Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Khaki - Now Live
