Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield
This feels like a quest soundtrack + 80s (although released in 1973). Feels like there's 10 different movie soundtracks in here...
Part II is a wild ride

Bone Machine
Tom Waits
Very rough, grumbly vocals - is it singing or spoken...who knows? My vocal cords hurt listening to this.
Not sure if this is on purpose, but this music makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I want it to end. Some later songs are less discordant.
Couldn't finish it.

Great guitar! Some classic songs like Iron Man and Paranoid. The vocals match the vibe, normally would find this kind of singing a bit grating to the ears, but it really works.
