Face to Face by The Kinks

Bone Machine by Tom Waits

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Don’t get it. This is completely average, often tuneless folk/rock masquerading as something more simply by throwing every avant-garde or atonal instrument on top of the simple arrangements. Without the kitchen sink production this would just be a boring acoustic record with whisper croak vocals.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop

I’m learning that the rumours about drug use in the 70s were very true.
