Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin is, hands down, top 5 coolest artist ever.
This, being smoother and more polished than her previous work, is her at the top of her career.

The Fall
If you're not in the mood, this is just a drunkard singing pub songs.
But i'm always in the mood, and when you are, this is one of the most most clever artist.
Those bass-lines are proper good.
It has a perfect mix of the madchester funkyness mixed with post punk.
RIP.

Siouxsie And The Banshees
I've written this somewhere else, copying it.
From 1978.
This debut is a dark and heavy slice of post-punk.
Heavy guitars, twisted lyrical poetry, and apocalyptic soundscapes.
Lead singer Siouxsie Sioux lends these songs a heavy, doom-laden atmosphere- on the classic "Jigsaw Feeling," her bewitching declarations soar above crashing, biting guitars and a squirming bass line, while the epic "Switch" sees her building from an acidic croon to a deadly chant. Other highlights include "Carcass," which uses the image of torture and cannibalism as an extended metaphor for the psychological effects of unrequited love... over a ridiculously catchy surf-rock background. The handclaps in the final verse are nothing short of genius. "Suburban Relapse" is a harrowing portrait of insanity, wit an absolutely Wagnerian sense of drama.

The Charlatans
Well this was funny as i just finished his book, named the same as this album.
While this album is not my favourite Charlatans album - thats probably the debut Some Friendly or the follow up Between 10th and 11th - its still a great album and i cannot give it anything but a 5.
The book? You should read it! Some great anecdotes in there.
And yeah, Tim Burgess has great music taste and there's a lot of name dropping in there.

Dinosaur Jr.
Well. How the hell were they supposed to follow up You're Living All Over Us?
This isnt as good, but its damn close to a 5.
