Ok... This is just the best album of all times according to me, so for the rest i will have absulutly not objectivities what so ever. #1 in the Billboard, 30+ millions sales, countless awards, a nearly perfect critical sucess, best and more sucessfull debut album of all times ect ect. THE most dangerous album ever made, it have so much to offer. This album was made in 1987 bythe best band of all times: Axl Rose, the unpredictable, insanly charismatic, energetic singer who could sing like no one and probably the best frontman (with Freddy Mercury). Slash, the badass, the man in the hat with long black hair, shades, a guitar genius, and the most iconic guitarist of the 80's. Izzy Stradlin the mysterius rythm guitar player, more reserved but yet so important in songwrting, he is behind a lot of their best songs. The Pirate style-punk guy: Duff "the king of beers" Mckagan, from Seattle he brings the touch of Punk rock that everybody need and he's just so cool and magnificent. Finanly the drummer Steven Adler wich i think is inseparable fo the sucess and perfection of this reccord, with his drums style, but he is just so cool, fun, good vibe and nonchalent, he's perfect too. All Togheter bring a unity and a colaboration of the best elements of the sunset strip at the time to create a monster of decadence and Rock N'Roll. Without talking about the music, this album have a very unique story and origin that make him even better when you know the context behind those songs. Before this album was made, Guns N'Roses was a struggling band, living in a house label "the hell house" bevause of all the decadence, drugs and depravation in it. They were starving, living gigs to gigs, but that create a chemestry so powerfull that explain why this album is so good and feel so real. They release it and nearly a year after its release the sell were bad, like 200 000, and Mtv won't play them, but their label convice Mtv to play the video of Welcome to the jungle at 4 am, and soon after it was the most require video of Mtv and they blow the fuck up music history with Sweet Child O'mine a couple week later alowing it to became so succesfull to this day. The cover is just iconic, the title fit so well the content of the album, and the cross was inspired by a tatoo of Axl who was himself inspired by Thin Lizzy. It was supposed to be a painting named Apetite For Destruction, but it was judged too violent and explicit so they changed it. It was a good move, this cross is so beautifull and well done. Track by track this album is good, like no song are there for nothing, they all mean something, have a story to share and bring more to Apetite. On the vinyl: Side G (Guns) song about violence, drugs, sex and their dangerous lifestyle with brutal riff and lyrics. Welcome to the jungle: When we think of GN'R we have to think of this song, this song just represent them at perfection. Musically is just pure hard rock with a soft bridge, brutal intro, solos, and the bass part, the drums, musically its perfect. The lyrics about the life in a big city like L.A, the drugs, the sex all other vices of a city who just feel like a jungle. This song is also one of their most famous and the diffusion of the video on MTV launch their carrer in 1988. Its so Easy: This is a badass song, about rock n roll lifestyle, and more specifically the sex and all the girls arounf them at a time they were more and more famous, but not yet rich, but they still manage to get all womens around them and have sex with groupies all the times. It was written by Duff, with a cool bass intro that start nearly all their gigs since 1987 and to this day. Some say its mysoginistic, but i think is just what they were living with brutal honnesty. Nightrain: An ode to alcool consumtion and cheap wine that get you drunk in a second. The music is so good and perfecly fit the subject, aparently one of Slash's favorite song to play live. Out ta Get me: A brutal song about Axl's judicial struggle when he was a teenager in Indiana. The riff is one of the more hard/ heavy of the album and show how talented and diverse they are. Mr. Brownstone`: A song about the habbits of the band, comming late to gigs, and their heroin (Browstone is a slang for heroin) addiction with lyrics about drug tolerance. This song is globaly on of the best, honnest and brutal drug song, just direct and no B.S. Musicaly this song is also one of the best with the magnificent intro, riff and solo. Paradise City: Another of their most famous song with an intro recognisable in a thousand, with extremely good guitars part. The verse are about the life in the street of L.A and the chorus is about life in the Midwest and show how they can have a major commercial hit, but will talking about their reckless lifestyle and their unique background (Axl and Izzy are from Indiana) Side R (Roses) While still talking about sex drugs and rock n roll but with a more romantic and semtimental side, like a rose. My Michelle: Its the life of a friend of the band Michelle Young, who have a very dark life, with drugs and death but tell with honnesty and truth that made their reputation. Think about you: "a quick song about Love, Sex, Drugs and Hollywood" -Izzy. A very underated song on the reccord, kind of a sentimental and softer version of Welcome to the Jungle. Sweet Child O'Mine: probably the reason why this album was so sucessfull, this song just show how this band could be sentimental with beautifull love lyrics but not in a cheesy way. The iconic intro, the perfeclty excuted solo, lyrics and the voice (inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd) made this song still they most acclamed and know to this day. You're Crazy: Originally you're fucking crazy, a weird song probably about a crazy girl who was involved with the band, but still this song show theur reckless style of telling their stories. Anything Goes: Clearly about sex and sexuall submission, still a very badass way to exprim it as they so good to do it. Apparantly one of their oldest song from the Hollywood Rose era Rocket Queen: Rocket Queen: This song is incredible, seprate in two part with a briudge between them. The intro is so fucking cool, the riff is brutal, the bass is leading the song and the lyrics about Barbi Von Grief a girl who was helping the band to survive in their clubs days, it talk about her wish to have a band who was suposed to be call Rocket Queen. The bridge is the little thing that made this song, this reccord and this band the greatest of all times, in that bridge will the guitar solo rage on, we could ear the real sexual moanings of Adriana Smith, the girlfriend of Steven, she was mad after him and Axl propose to reccord while they have sex. The rest of the song in a poem about love and hope with a magic guitare solo at the end. 12 song that make this reccord the most dangerous album of all time, all those song were written by the best, in a very particular moment in times that make them so damn accurate. I think overall this album merge the best influences in rock history and combine them to create the perfect rock n roll reccord: The hard rock music of AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith, the commercial sucess of glam metal band of the times like Van Halen, Mötely Crüe or Bon Jovi. But they come from the street of L.A, and they still keep the undergound vibe, the dark subject and dangerous lifestyle of undergound band like Hanoï Rocks, the Stooges and the New York Dolls. With Duff music and their rebel attitude they have a lot of punk influences like the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Damned or Johnny Thunders. Their sentimental and glam (rock) style is also inspired by Queen, David Bowie, T.Rex and others. I think they perflecy combine all thoses legendray bands, but still with thei unique indentify and style that they don't copy but create something ot thei own. They not enough space or enough world for me to descrivbe how much this reccord mean to me, i try the best in can to find anything bad to say about this album but i can't. GN'R is polarising, but no one can denied that this album change the game and blow up the rock scene at the time, this album gave us timeless classic and a way of Rocking that no one ever did before. Why this album is so much better than the other heavy metal album or band at the times (Skid Row, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Ratt and other) is because of all of this but more simple, they were just b etter, more honnest, more real, more bad boys, more good looking (with less makeup and flamboyent clothings), more charismatic and better musicians overall. That why i will give it 5/5, if it was one a hundred it would 100/100, 1000/1000 ect. I really hope that some of you will discover and fucking enjoy this reccord and forever remeber it.

The clash is not my favorite punk band, but i alaways know their influences and their impact, especially with this reccord that i've never listen. First the cover is a reference to Elvis's first reccord, a nice wink to the fact that Elvis represent what the punk mouvement is, at his debut and he became phoney and famous. It represent Paul Simonon destroying his guitar, and its one one the most recgonisable and and the 9th best album cover picture. The titled track: London Calling with is icnnic riff really summ up the album with is lyrics that critised the world they live in with their punk vision, also critisied the fact that the punk mouvement is now too phoney (like beatlemania to their oppnion) Its a double album so their is a lot of track, icnludiong 3 covers: brand new cadillac that pay hommage to on of the first british rock and roller, the other is revlution rock and wrong'em boyo. The lyricals themes are very diverses, we have crime (Jimmy jazz, the guns of brixton) drugs, violence and very urbans problems, desilusion and depression are also important in the album, finaly their is some love songs. The album was release in 1979 so the punk wave was for the most part over, and now new wave is the new thing, The Clash embrace it, still connected to their punk style and attidute but musically they are clearly the most diverse punk just in the differend kind of music they made here, like there is not a lot of 100% punk song here, musically is ol' fashoned rock, jazz, ska, pop and i think reggea was the most present in here. Anyway i didn't apreciate all songs, but for the symbol that this album is, his cultural and musical influences its a punk masterpiece.

In the rock n roll history there is very few album that carry a name that repsrent so perfetcly what the album is. Raw Power is what the Stooges are, sound like and look like, with this 3rd and final album (they are all in the 1001 albums list) they struke even harder than the previous. This magnetic piece of rock and dirt was produced by no other than David Bowie, a very good friend of Stooge's frontman Iggy Pop. Bowie save Iggy's life as he was in a downfall due to his crippling heroin addiction, by 1972 he was nearly homeless. After FunHouse (wich is more experimental and brutal) they fired their bass player (ironicly) because of his alcool consumtion (he will die because of it coupple years later). The rest of the band (exept Ron the guitarist) have troubles with substances and the band more or less disbanded in 1971. Its thank to Bowie that they regroupe with the addition of James Williamson to take the guitar part and Ron will be in charge of the bass (wich was kind of a downgrade). So that's the context chaos, drugs and Bowie, now what the album look like. The cover is a shirtless Iggy pop (classic), with some makeup and a glimmy underware. The album is definitly proto-punk, probably the first real 100% punk album before it was called punk, jsut the brutal riffs, the raw lyrics, the on stage antics and the global nihilistic attidute. The album is also way more hard rock oriented that the previous wich were more garage rock like. The album, especially with the look of of the banmd at that point, the guitar playing of Williamson and the fact that it was procuded by Bowie himself make it sound a bit Glam Rock. For me the album have 3 very songs they are: The tittle track Raw Power, an goo choice for the album name because it represent so much what the Stooges and this album is. The song have a persitent, loud and roaring riff, a cow bell that remind uis of I wanna be your dog, and direct lyrics. This song is the definition of proto-punk so doubt. Search and destroy, this one is probably the most interesting, a wonderfull riff suposed to sound a bit like a machine gun, and this time more inspireing about the vietnam war with illusion and images of violence. This song is a masterpiece proably of the best 70's song wich was cover and have inspired many many artists and real anthem of protestation. Gimme Danger, an accoustic song, also of the best in their carrer, with a slower and more backgroung electric riff, with brutal lyrics. Shake Appeal, with a more hard rock kinda sound and more simple lyrics this look like a glam rock version of their first album, i very like this song. The rest of the album is composed of: Your pretty face is going to hell, i like the riff on this one and Iggy hoarse voice and the tittle is cool and dirty lyrics that we are used to by now. Penetration have probably the simplest lyrics in the album, the song have a simple piano patern that strangely remind me of like Riders on the storms by the Doors or a text messasge alarm but with agressive riff and straight foward lyrics I need Somebody also contain accousitc guitar and Iggy's magnetic voice is really amplified by this. the song is pretty simple but still good Death Trip is the final song on the album nothing so particular about this one, straight forward lyrics, agressive riff its good but not as impactfull as other songs. Songs from this album have been coverd so many time my favorite are: Raw Power by Guns N'Roses and Search and destroy by RHCP. And countelss other artist have been inspired by this album, like Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Johnny Marr (Smiths), RHCP, Kurt Cobain, Nikki Sixx, Def Leppard, Dead Boys, the New York Dolls, the Ramones ect ect. Is safe to say that without the Stooges and this particular album, punk rock would be as great and rock n roll would have never been the same, for its huge influence and incredible tracks this album earn better than a lot of other reccord its place here.

Such a classic, one of the more complexe and original concept album, totaly in the glam rock era and Bowie at his best

Never liked Kanye personality or music

This album is great, firstly by the iconic cover, wich i think i extremely cool and beautiful. But then you listen to the track and altough they are not all legendary it as a couple good track like: coustard pie, the rover and Trampeld under foot but you also have two of the best Led Zep riff, music and song: Kashmir and House of the Holy. Anyway its one of the most "HARD" rock album of Led Zep

No sleep t'ill Brooklyn is a classic, a mixure between rap and hard rock, they also include sample of led zep, black sabbath, AC/DC and CCR songs wich is cool. Fight for your right is of course the main track and i didn't know it was from them. I never been so much into rap music, but i known this iconic cover and considering it is their debut album, this is probably on of the best old school rap album of all time.

I like the psychedelic soul vibe but i’m not a big fan of soul, but its still good album. Its look like a soul version of a Pink Floyd album its very interesting

My espectation were not very high for this album, i have to admitted that it suprise me, "Pump it up" really worth the listening, no action is allright, this years girl is good and the rest of the songs are mid in my opinion. Its a very new wavy kind off album, a bit more "groovy" and more pop than other bands a the same times (Pretenders, Clash, Blondie ect), but still with punk rock et pop rock influences and i respect that. anyway i guess it deserve its place here, but i'm not sure its reallty the masterpiece critics have describe it.

Tbh i was a bit dispapointed by the few songs i listen from this album, and usually i,m a big fan of 70's rock, but i just don't think this particular one have something more to offer than its contemporary, like there is nothing particulary good about this album. but its not a terrible album either, it just dosent impress me a lot

So there is nothing in particular that tell my that this is a super great album, but its not bad, it look like a punk album, like everything feel like kinda punk, exept the music and its a bit wierd. S/o to the velvet underground cover wich is pretty good, i think their story/legacy and attitude so like them a bit The story behind the album is accualy quite intersting, and apparently they have a big influence on alt rock. But personally i dont realy like it

I listen to the most famous song, but its just not my thing I can acknowledge that this is good music and for reggae its cleary a masterpiece and Bob Marley is a great musical figure and i respect that But from my personal music taste, its just not my kind off music

I didn't listen it with much attention but i try and i dont know, the songs just dont stook up and i dont find them musically interesting, but like its very personal like its based on my music taste and i just dont fit in it.

Never listen to Joni Mitchell aparantly it is one of the greatest album of all times. The songs are really beutifull and her voice is wonderfull But folk isn't my kind and i'm not so much attracted by this kind of melancolic and sad music, altough its technicaly very good.

I recognise Tom Sawyer, but i didn't know it was from them, the voice of Geddy Lee is very unique and powerfull, pretty good prog rock, accually probably one of the best (after Pink Floyd of course) In General, the music didn't stick to my mind, i'm not very into prog rock, but i didn't dislike it either. +they come from Canada and it was reccorded in Morin Heights, Québec, and i come from Québec so its pretty cool that a band that big reccorded a big success like this in Québec.

Everybody know the Rollings Stones, i know this cover but i never listen to it its this album who as been reccorded at the nellcôte villa in southern france, the villa that Keith rented in 1971, Keith who as at this point develloped a serious heroin addiction and some song reflected it (rocks off). There is a coupple of good songs, like rocks off, tumbling dice, shake your hips and vantilator blues, but there is too much "forgetable songs" like not bad song but just not that good, itd often like that in a double album. In general, the album is very bluesy or country style rock n roll, i'm more a fan of the 60's rollings stones songs, i don't think is the best Stones's album of all time, but i admitted that its good. Its also show the root of the rollings stones, like old blues and country (the Robert Johnson cover for example).

I don't know a lot of Kravitz song, but his voice is clearly one of the most recognisbable, charismatic and coolest voice of the 90's (1989 i know). The softer and chill vibe of that reccord is very cool, it almost look like Blood sugar sex magik of the Red Hot, a kind of funk sound but with accoustic guitare, powerfull voice and on top of that a psychedelic sound too. Especially in the song let love rule, but Sitting on top of the world is my favorite, the accousitc, funky and soul mix is very good, the best in the album. Other good songs are: Freedom Train, Mr cab driver (a rockabilly/RNB song, who look like good ol' rock n roll) and i build this garden for us (Look a bit like Strawberry field, with the organ and the violin so a psycehdiclic song) This album really pay tribute to old rock n roll (even for 1989) like the psychedelic, funk, hard rock and soul influences but with Lenny's incredible voice and charisma. Unfortunalty, not every song impress me but its honneslty a very good album

The riffs, the solos, the intros everythings is so raw, powerfull, hard and rapid. The intro in Phantom of the opera is just mind blowing Its heavy metal at his purest form, with a little bit of punk, its a very raw album comparable to Paranoid of Black Sabbath in my book. Overall a very good album, first time listen to it and for a debut its very impressive.

This album should have been as great as Sgt pepers and a step further after the already masterpiece pets sounds, unfortunatly, Brian Wilson who was struggling with serious mental ilness and drugs addiction couln't complete the projet, but he finaly did decades later. I say that altough not all of the songs are wonderfull and exceptional, but as a whole, this album is pretty much a masterpiece, i'll say technicaly better than pet sounds, put pets sounds is more coherent, beautiful and as better songs. The vocal harmony are the best of all beachs boys album, the songs are complexe and ambicious. The best one is of course Good Vibrations wich is on of the best song of all times in terms of complexity and sounds. Wonderfull is very good, heros and vilains, vege-tables and Cabin Essence are my favorites.

Very unknown band, never heard of them or any of their songs, i'm a big fan of the psychedelic era and 1967 is probably the prime of rock music and i think we could include this album with the other great album of the era. altough not as great, it is still a pretty good reccord, with psychdelic folk similar to the byrds I dont know why but not all song on the album are available on spotify so i have not listen to the full album When we think of the San Fransisco sound we shoul think of them.

So to begging with, the first track: pop song 89, look way too much like hello i love by the Doors. there is good songs but nothing really impress me, like not at the same level as other alt band of the times, but its a very impression like its not a bad album

Masterpiece, from the beggening to the end, clearly on of the best Pink Floyd Album I think is one of the most complicated and ambicious concept album of all times, the musical geniousnof Roger Water clearly show all its extend with this I don’t kown all song tho, like there is a coupple song i dont find « good » but they all serve the album My favorites songs are comfortably numb (incredible solo), and The Trial wich is just epic and powerfull Run like hell young lust And Another brick in the wall pt2 (impossible to ear it without the happiest day of our lives) Deserve credits This album as a really powerfull impact on me when i was younger and i don’t listen Pink Floyd as much as at that time but it is still in my heart

Not my kind

So wierd i dont like it

The debut by Led Zep with the iconic cover of the exploding Zeppelin would launch to the world the most talented musicians of the 60's-70's (wich mean of all times). This reccord was release in 1969 and was self producted and reccoreded very quickly, but in no way it mean that it is less good, quite the contrary. This album was a commercial a uge critical sucess, it is in almost all best album accolades since its relase and there is a reason why. Its accualy a very "simple" reccord, easy to listen and to enjoy, but with an extrem quality of songs, more bluesy or hard rock with 1 accoustic song. The best song are: You shook me, hard rock with an insanly good riff, rythm and solo, with plant powerfull voice, clearly the best song on the album (accualy a cover of Wiliie Dixon) Good times bad times: Probably the most famous song, the chorus is just magic, an Led Zeppelin classic riff that make a Led Zeppelin classic song How many more times, i don't think its possible to ear this song without having this bass line in mind, the archet solo is way more good and masterful than in Dazed and confused. Black mountain side, was a Yardbird song, no lyrics just accousitc guitar just good nothing more or less to say Dazed and Confused, the best version are the live one (the one in MSG, 1973) as the solo grew better and complexe with Page's improvisations. The others song are good, but they are not as good as those one, but still this reccord feel complete and unique, its the best introduction possible to Led Zep, but the following reccord will push the boundary between an legendray and god (satan some say) given Led Zeppelin musical mythologie. Anyway this album is a turning point in rock music, the begging of hard rock and the first steps to heavy metal, this album is raw, powerfull and take a genra to an other level.

Very not into electronic, so i didn't like it.

Were to start?? That album is just magnificent, honneslty probably the best Led Zep Album of all times (equality with the fourth maybe), really pure hard rock, blues rock just the combination of every band members is felt throught out the reccord. Jimmy page gave us mind blowing solos and incredible riffs in literally all the songs, for guitar leraner, the majority off the song are not that difficult even for a beginner, espicially livin loving maid, Heartbreaker and Bring it on Home have some riff that are pretty easy to learn. Anyway the scale of his talent could be resumed with the track heartbreaker (One of the grestest solo of all times and a riff recognizable among a thousand) John Paul Jones, comfirmed its place as the backbone of the band, with is perfect rythme and bass part. Robert Plant gave us some of the best lyrics and vocal performances of his carrer, i think of Whole lotta love, Ramble on and what is and what should never be. John "Bonzo" Bonham is higlited in all the track but he gave us his msterpiece with moby dick a 3 minutes long drums solo (in live concert up to 15 minutes long solos). Even thought some of the track are a bit too much inspired by other blues artistes like Howlin wolf (Lemon song), Willi Dixon (Bring it on home) and Muddy Water (Whole Lotta love), they making it soo good, we could forgive them. Anyway, this album is a masterpiece, of Led Zeppelin, a masterpiece of Rock n Roll and a Masterepiece of music in general. Best songs (in my oppinion) Bring it on home Whole Lotta Love Heartbreaker The Lemon Song Moby Dick Ramble On What is and what should never be Livin loving maid Thank You

First time ever listen to him, even though i know him by his legend, but accually never listen. Never liked country very much, but this album live is pretty good, first the songs and their musicality, his iconic voice and his interaction and the reaction of the audience make it all very cool. I liked Cocaine Blues and 25 minutes to go, very "funny" songs but with a dark subject.

Classic Folk music, not very appealing to me

The kinda jazzy piano of the first song is pretty good The whole album feel like a new orleans jazz club, with a very light touch of new wave (synthetizer) and soul. Like its very unique at my knowledge a new wave jazz album in 1984 anyway its very good

The debut by the Who, i never listen to it exept like 2 songs, i listen to the stereo version on spotify who contain a lot of songs that were not in the original. Out In the Street is very good and is a good openning for the album i think, the bands was really a rebbelious act at the time and you could feel it in the songs through out the album. I honnestly never like the song my generation, but its more the musicality that is not that good, but the way it feel and its meaning is cool and fit well the band. The album as a really big influences on majors music styles, like punk, hard rock and heavy metal, you could see were some futur bands took some of their influences. Its difficult to give it a proper music style, like its a mix between the Beatles (the song The kids are allright and Its not True in particular) and the Stooges (mostly their attitude and live performances). Other cool songs included: Please, Please, Please, La-La-La-Lies, The good's gone and The Ox Anyway it is a very good album, not their best, not the best of this years, but it clearly put them in the same categorie as the Stones, The Yardbirds or The Beatles. Its a good classic rock album and a very influential album who deserve its place here.

First the cover is really dark and cool, very punk. Then the album look like the droids in star war if they have a band, with some "robotic" effects, and very dark musicality and dismal atmospher. But with all that you have also punk style riffs, lyrics and visuals. Requiem and bloodsport are the best songs i think. The other songs are not my kind You could really feel how this album inspired grunge or trash metal bands, its personally one of the darkest punk/new wave album i ever listen.

Its a jazz-electro-funk-rap thing and to be honnest its not really my kind of music so i dont find it very good, but its very personal

Never listen to them, at first it fit perfecly in the grunge era, very alternative, a buit like Alice in chains or Jane's addiction. Apparently they were supposed to be the Next Nirvana, but i think they manage to make a good grunge reccord, but without being copycats. The album talk about very difficult and dark subject (depression, death, abortion ect.) in a i think good way. Today, Cherub rock and Rocket are pretty good

Its a very experimental avant garde and off course jazz reccord, so i’m not an expert in jazz so i’m not sure to have fully catch the essence of it.

1991 probably one of the best year in music, and a big part of it is blood sugar sex magik. I'm not a chilli pepers fan, but almost all of them tell that this album is a masterpiece and tbh its not a lie this album is truly good and its way more than under the bridge and give it away. Its a bit less funky and they applied the philosophie of their legendary producer Rick Rubin: less is more. They give more space to Keidis's text and more melodic music in general. By far the best track is under the bridge, a very sentimental and poetic song about Anthony's heroin addiction and it represent well the contrast with a lot of other more "funky" songs in the album like give it away. other good track are: Breaking the girl, suck my kiss, sir psycho sexy, i could have lied and the power of equality. A lot of song in the album talk about sex, but in a original way, like the album have a kind off sexual vibe. I think the album have maybe a bit too much song, they are not as good as those one, but when we know that this album have been recorded in a Mansion with all the band members togheter you could feel it too and understand why the song are like that. The cover is very cool too, very iconic and beautiful. In general the album feel real, sensitive, cool and off course funky its a personal project you could see the influences off all members, the unstopbable bassiste Flea, the cool vibe drummer Chad Smith, The mysterius and talented John Frusciante and The charismatic-poeatic-energetic vocalist Anthony Kedis.

The southern rock classic, if this genra was an album it would this one. This album is of know for the magestic Free bird, wich in itself deserved a 5/5. But i never listen to the whole reccord. The first song: I aint the one, is a classic blues rock and generaly this album is very blues rock but still with a hard rockin sound. This song is a good openner. Thuesday's gone is a more soft and very good song a good country-vibe. Gimme three steps feel like a Rollings stone track, but with their southern style off course, very RNB and good lyrics, musicality ect. Simple man is a bit more sentimental song apparently isnpired by the death of Van Zant's grand-mother. Things goin' on is a good country rock song, a bit like what goes on by the Beatles. Very good piano work and good lyrics. Missisipi Kid really look like an old blues song the accustic guitar are very groovy and all. Not a bad song at all Poison Whiskey is a also a good song, about alcool abuse that the band know very well by themself, trouhout their carrer they will struggled with alcool and drugs addiction and wrote various song about their abuse and the danger of drugs. What better way to close an album when you have Free Bird in your repertoire. Its a freaking masterpiece of music and one of the best than mankind was able to ear. In this 9 minutes song, it have 2 part, the first with the guitar intro, and the powerfull voice of Van Zant that sing equaly powerfull and beautiful lyrics. Then in the half of the song the music accelerate toi give place to the magnificent solo by Allan Collins. A nearly 5 minutes long solo (more during live concert) that could honneslty have been 3 differents solos on 3 different song, that would have been great solos but not as legendary. Anyway, go listen to this imediatly, your life would never be the same. The voice of Ronnie Van Zant is what make this band and this album so great, i think he is a underated frontman in rock music and this album really show its potential. But the guitar play of Alans Collins and Gary Rossington really put them in the podium of rock musicians of the 70's. It was their debut album, its hard to tell but its probably the one with the biggest legacy to offer but the have made other really good songs on other reccord. This reccord is not suprisingly very good, i'm glad to finaly listen to it, there so very good song and a legendary song.

Ok... This is just the best album of all times according to me, so for the rest i will have absulutly not objectivities what so ever. #1 in the Billboard, 30+ millions sales, countless awards, a nearly perfect critical sucess, best and more sucessfull debut album of all times ect ect. THE most dangerous album ever made, it have so much to offer. This album was made in 1987 bythe best band of all times: Axl Rose, the unpredictable, insanly charismatic, energetic singer who could sing like no one and probably the best frontman (with Freddy Mercury). Slash, the badass, the man in the hat with long black hair, shades, a guitar genius, and the most iconic guitarist of the 80's. Izzy Stradlin the mysterius rythm guitar player, more reserved but yet so important in songwrting, he is behind a lot of their best songs. The Pirate style-punk guy: Duff "the king of beers" Mckagan, from Seattle he brings the touch of Punk rock that everybody need and he's just so cool and magnificent. Finanly the drummer Steven Adler wich i think is inseparable fo the sucess and perfection of this reccord, with his drums style, but he is just so cool, fun, good vibe and nonchalent, he's perfect too. All Togheter bring a unity and a colaboration of the best elements of the sunset strip at the time to create a monster of decadence and Rock N'Roll. Without talking about the music, this album have a very unique story and origin that make him even better when you know the context behind those songs. Before this album was made, Guns N'Roses was a struggling band, living in a house label "the hell house" bevause of all the decadence, drugs and depravation in it. They were starving, living gigs to gigs, but that create a chemestry so powerfull that explain why this album is so good and feel so real. They release it and nearly a year after its release the sell were bad, like 200 000, and Mtv won't play them, but their label convice Mtv to play the video of Welcome to the jungle at 4 am, and soon after it was the most require video of Mtv and they blow the fuck up music history with Sweet Child O'mine a couple week later alowing it to became so succesfull to this day. The cover is just iconic, the title fit so well the content of the album, and the cross was inspired by a tatoo of Axl who was himself inspired by Thin Lizzy. It was supposed to be a painting named Apetite For Destruction, but it was judged too violent and explicit so they changed it. It was a good move, this cross is so beautifull and well done. Track by track this album is good, like no song are there for nothing, they all mean something, have a story to share and bring more to Apetite. On the vinyl: Side G (Guns) song about violence, drugs, sex and their dangerous lifestyle with brutal riff and lyrics. Welcome to the jungle: When we think of GN'R we have to think of this song, this song just represent them at perfection. Musically is just pure hard rock with a soft bridge, brutal intro, solos, and the bass part, the drums, musically its perfect. The lyrics about the life in a big city like L.A, the drugs, the sex all other vices of a city who just feel like a jungle. This song is also one of their most famous and the diffusion of the video on MTV launch their carrer in 1988. Its so Easy: This is a badass song, about rock n roll lifestyle, and more specifically the sex and all the girls arounf them at a time they were more and more famous, but not yet rich, but they still manage to get all womens around them and have sex with groupies all the times. It was written by Duff, with a cool bass intro that start nearly all their gigs since 1987 and to this day. Some say its mysoginistic, but i think is just what they were living with brutal honnesty. Nightrain: An ode to alcool consumtion and cheap wine that get you drunk in a second. The music is so good and perfecly fit the subject, aparently one of Slash's favorite song to play live. Out ta Get me: A brutal song about Axl's judicial struggle when he was a teenager in Indiana. The riff is one of the more hard/ heavy of the album and show how talented and diverse they are. Mr. Brownstone`: A song about the habbits of the band, comming late to gigs, and their heroin (Browstone is a slang for heroin) addiction with lyrics about drug tolerance. This song is globaly on of the best, honnest and brutal drug song, just direct and no B.S. Musicaly this song is also one of the best with the magnificent intro, riff and solo. Paradise City: Another of their most famous song with an intro recognisable in a thousand, with extremely good guitars part. The verse are about the life in the street of L.A and the chorus is about life in the Midwest and show how they can have a major commercial hit, but will talking about their reckless lifestyle and their unique background (Axl and Izzy are from Indiana) Side R (Roses) While still talking about sex drugs and rock n roll but with a more romantic and semtimental side, like a rose. My Michelle: Its the life of a friend of the band Michelle Young, who have a very dark life, with drugs and death but tell with honnesty and truth that made their reputation. Think about you: "a quick song about Love, Sex, Drugs and Hollywood" -Izzy. A very underated song on the reccord, kind of a sentimental and softer version of Welcome to the Jungle. Sweet Child O'Mine: probably the reason why this album was so sucessfull, this song just show how this band could be sentimental with beautifull love lyrics but not in a cheesy way. The iconic intro, the perfeclty excuted solo, lyrics and the voice (inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd) made this song still they most acclamed and know to this day. You're Crazy: Originally you're fucking crazy, a weird song probably about a crazy girl who was involved with the band, but still this song show theur reckless style of telling their stories. Anything Goes: Clearly about sex and sexuall submission, still a very badass way to exprim it as they so good to do it. Apparantly one of their oldest song from the Hollywood Rose era Rocket Queen: Rocket Queen: This song is incredible, seprate in two part with a briudge between them. The intro is so fucking cool, the riff is brutal, the bass is leading the song and the lyrics about Barbi Von Grief a girl who was helping the band to survive in their clubs days, it talk about her wish to have a band who was suposed to be call Rocket Queen. The bridge is the little thing that made this song, this reccord and this band the greatest of all times, in that bridge will the guitar solo rage on, we could ear the real sexual moanings of Adriana Smith, the girlfriend of Steven, she was mad after him and Axl propose to reccord while they have sex. The rest of the song in a poem about love and hope with a magic guitare solo at the end. 12 song that make this reccord the most dangerous album of all time, all those song were written by the best, in a very particular moment in times that make them so damn accurate. I think overall this album merge the best influences in rock history and combine them to create the perfect rock n roll reccord: The hard rock music of AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith, the commercial sucess of glam metal band of the times like Van Halen, Mötely Crüe or Bon Jovi. But they come from the street of L.A, and they still keep the undergound vibe, the dark subject and dangerous lifestyle of undergound band like Hanoï Rocks, the Stooges and the New York Dolls. With Duff music and their rebel attitude they have a lot of punk influences like the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Damned or Johnny Thunders. Their sentimental and glam (rock) style is also inspired by Queen, David Bowie, T.Rex and others. I think they perflecy combine all thoses legendray bands, but still with thei unique indentify and style that they don't copy but create something ot thei own. They not enough space or enough world for me to descrivbe how much this reccord mean to me, i try the best in can to find anything bad to say about this album but i can't. GN'R is polarising, but no one can denied that this album change the game and blow up the rock scene at the time, this album gave us timeless classic and a way of Rocking that no one ever did before. Why this album is so much better than the other heavy metal album or band at the times (Skid Row, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Ratt and other) is because of all of this but more simple, they were just b etter, more honnest, more real, more bad boys, more good looking (with less makeup and flamboyent clothings), more charismatic and better musicians overall. That why i will give it 5/5, if it was one a hundred it would 100/100, 1000/1000 ect. I really hope that some of you will discover and fucking enjoy this reccord and forever remeber it.

I've never listen to this album, but i'm a big fan of their legendary first LP, so i have some expectation on this one. First we have roughly the same lyricals themes, like drugs use (white light/white heat is about injecting speed or methamphetamine), gender issus, sexuality and Lou Reed's trouble youth. We ear John Cale sing in 2 songs (The gift and Lady Godiva's operation), this album made the achivement of being more experimental than their first one, maybe a bit too much for my taste, but its the velvet undergound so we have to acknoledge their influence on punk and alternative music. The album is less psychedelic and more noise and art rock, with song like The gift wich is a 8 minutes spoken song, apparantly the album was make to recapture how they sounded live. We could also see early punk, new wave and even metal eleent in some song like Here she come now and sister ray. The song I heard her call by my name is inspired by Jimi Hendrix and its guitar work look a but like run Run Run from their first album. The album is much more experimental and noisy than their first LP, but i also think its less good, look sister ray a fucking 17 minutes long partyaly improvised song and its more messy and wierd than anything a bit like the rest of the album, but not in the same way than the first one. I still respect how much this band was a head of their time and again influencial for all their sucessor, but this is not really my kind.

Very not a music still i tend to enjoy, the elctro-techno thing never did it for me. The voice of the girl really sound like a modern Nico, and technicaly there is good thing in the rest of the album, but not my kind

More than 20 millions reccord sales, this album is probably the best by Elton John, but why? The biopic Rocketman really but emphasis on a lot of sonjg in this album, and i discover most of them in that movie, even if i'm not a Elton John fan, its still a good movie. Three song for me really stand out: Goodbye Yellow Birkc road is a really impressive and mind blowing song with a chorus like no one. Satudrays night allright for fighting, a real rock song, because Elton is more pop/soft rock in general but this song feel like a cabaret, pub song, and its very good, catchy and rock n roll. Bennie and the jets, it sound like reccording live, but its not, but it sound very good, with the piano and all. Its a double album and i have to admit that i didn't listen to every one, but a lot of them so i have a good idea, i think most of the song have a very catchy, groovy vibe with very good Elton style vocals , good lyrics by Bernie Taupin and a intersting piano lines. The album could be associate to the Glam rock that was at is peak at the time, with Elton Joh taking inspration with Bowie and Marc Bolan to create his exentric clothing, and i'm a pretty big glam rock fan, so i like this album a bit more. I Its not 100% glam rock like T.Rex, the New york Dolls, Bowie, or Slade (the best glam acts), but i could make it the best selling glam rock album off all time. But overall its more pop and soft rock at is best, Not all songs worth the listening, but a lot do, i'll give special mention to Candle in the wind (dedicated to Marylin Monroe and later Lady Diana) and Pinball wizzard wich was reccord at the same time, but for the Tommy soundtrack by the Who, its accualy better than the who version i think.

The songs are good, not exeptional, the celtic folk vibe is cool but not great and its generaly that overall in the album.

The Byrds are a pretty influencial 60's band, with folk root, a psychedelic sound and incredible vocals harmonie beachs boys style. This album is their countribution to 1967 (the best musical year) and it look like it will be justifies to this album to be here. We know that the Beatles and The byrds mutualy influences themself and it feel like it in a lot of songs. Have you seen her face is probably the most obvious, it feel like a early Beatlemania song, but with Rubber soul instrument, its a really good song. A critic reference it as a West coast Revolver, and i agree with that, but with still their own folk rock style and vocals harmonies and experimentation that make it original. They seems to merge all the different musical style at the time, like pop with the Monkees, country rock, acid rock and british invasion. Time between and The girl with no name are the country songs, they are good, but not very unique i think, comprare to other songs in the album. Like i said acid rock was an influence on the musicality of a lot of songs, but also a lyrical influences, as LSD seem to have inspired the song toughts and words, The Byrds were experimenting with drugs like LSD at the time, apparently with the Beatles too. There is a other Byrds cover version of a Bob Dylan song: My back pages. It show their great admiration for the man and his folk style that make them so great at their debut. Altghout this is not the greatest psychedelic album i have heard, probablt not even the best Byrds album, but it is clearly at the same level as some of the greatest 60's act, like the Kinks, the who, the Stones or the Mamas and the Papas and Beatles album like Rubber Soul, Help or Beatles for sale. They managed to merge all of this and create an not completly diffrent thing but with lots of originality. The Byrds will remains as a very important act of that time and this album prouve it.

I really praise the fact that they bring a fresh sound on 90’s rock scene, with a punk style music (Ramones inspired) but with a more pop vive that make them so popular. They made punk big again and i really respect that. Basket case is the most famous and best song i think on this album, i belived its the one that stand out and its just a classic Unfortunatly i could not say the same about the rest, for me personality i dont find other song very intersting or even original the structure and melody are a bit too similar at my personal taste. Burnout and chump are good song tho

Holly fuck… i was waiting for that one!!! By far the best ever Van Halen album, one of the best debut album of all times (Apetite for destruction ans The Doors) clearly one of the best pure hard rock album too. Its hard to belived it was a first album, so perfect, powerfull and magic at the same times. All members perfomances are great, our belived Diamond David Lee Roth, one of the best frontman in history delivred vocals like no one and pretty good lyrics. Micheal Anthony as a solid rythm part throught out all the album. Alex Van Halen gave us a taste of what its like to be a Van Halen Brother, so much talent and good druming part. Of course eveb though they are all in an other league of musicians, this album would have be the same You would though that these guy would come of with good songs? That would be wrong, those songs are not good, but powerfull, magical, sexy and wonderfull. I could list them all to show you (and i will do it), track by track this album is good Runnin with the devil is the oppeniogn track, itself it show what i just desrcibe you about this band, good vocals, a fucking bass part that run trought the song, the drums part is perfect and the guitart work too. This song introduce VH to the world and its clearly one of their best. Eruption is probably the reason why Eddie is considered in the top of guitar legend, a 1:40 guitar solo, no lyrics, no bass a little but fo drums, it sound perfecly well and show us how good he could be .Its a perfect introdution to the next song's powerfull guitar riff. You Really got me is a cover of the Kinks, but honnesly is still one of the bets VH song, above all the music that is far better than the Kinks version they add a more sensual and sexual connotation that define their style and fit extremely well with them. Not to mention the incredible riff that i think was very hard to beat from the original version but they managed to do it, and every members is part of it. Ain't talkin' 'bout love is often considred their best song or their best riff, i say its a very very good song, but not my favorite. I'm the one is one of their underated song on the album that you just know if you really listen to it, the fantastic guitar intro, Dave's vocal reach an other level, same for drums and the energetic bass line. The chorus sang by Micheal and Eddie (shooow you love) blend it so well in the song, dave's screams add it too. What make the diffrence to me is the bridge that goes: Whoo, Bop bada, shoobe doo wah, bop bada, shoobe doo wah, (ba da whum), sang like a gospel thing its very good before the outro that is very good you guess it. JAMIE'S CRYIN is in the top of my personal favorite song of all times, so i could simply say that its the best track of the album, its perfect and go listen to it again and again. But i would describe it the same way as the majority of songs in this album: all members feel equal in the sound and in the talent. David gave us pretty good lyrics about what he is famous for (one night stands) with one of his best vocals perfomances. Eddie give us a riff and a solo, not the more originals but it fit so damn well in the song that we forgot song like aint talkin' 'bout love or really got me. I don't understand how Eddie and Micheal voices sound so beautifull in this song (and a lot of other but this one stand out) that what make me worship this song really it sound like heaven or paradise i dont know its just magical. The drums intro and the bass line are again a good example of how good they are. Probably this song alone make me admired this band and this album i could listen to for ever really it worth the listening. Atomic Punk have a iconic guitar intro and i dont know how to describe it with better word than its tittle, it feel and sound just like that. Feel your love tonight is a good exaemple of what is a VH song, probably not very original in the lyrics or the music but still and powerfull and energetic party vibe song that they do so good. Little dreamer i think have the best lyrics of the album, the musics is extremely good and is probably the less exentric song in a way, but not less good a unique song in this reccod. Ice Cream Man is a cover, but i would never guess it cause they make it so good, compare to this old 50's blues song. The song is divided in two part, an accoustic one (play by Dave) where he take all the place with his incredible voice and charisma. Then all the band join in for the chorus that lead to one of the best solo in the album (and of the band wich mean of all times too). Then the sing the chorus again all together (magical each time they do it) and then the outro is still lead by Dave's and Eddie talent. I think it should have been the closing track and its a shame that this song is not more regocnize, like i said this song was literaly written for this band. On fire is a bit wierd like its a good song like the rest but i'm not sure if it fit so well with the rest of the album but its very my personal look like the rest of this critic. Well each song have a unique quality but remains coherent (exepect on fire but still) with the rest of the songs, this album was a commercial hit with 10 000 000 sales in the U.S but i don't think it have the recognition of other great 70's band like Queen, AC/DC or Pink Floyd i think this album is one of the best ever produce in the 70's it pave the way for a whole new genra of Glam Metal band that would reign on the 80's rock scene, it influnced could be seen one a lot of guitar heros that will follow its trace like Steve Vai, Rhandy Rhoads, Slash and countless others. This album have a magnetic hold one me, it just a magical reaction when i listen to it and i belived its the same for a lot of peoples. R.I.P Eddie Van Halen we all love you!!

The clash is one of the most recognisable punk band, one of the best and famous too, with the Pistols. Janie Jones is a good rock n roll track, similar to The Ramones, the backing vocals are good and the riff too. I'm so bored with the U.S.A intro look a bit too much as Pretty vacant, but the rest of the song is fine. Globably the songs have good punk lyrics with a early 60's rock n roll riff and musicality, the songs are expeditive, like the ramones 14 song for 35 minutes. It a classic of punk with all the ingredients. The album is revendicative, violent fill with anger and energy, all what the punk movement need, i would class it a less good as the Sex pistols or the Ramones debut, but

The junkie album, this album could as well being call heroin. But more than drugs, its the pain and the torture with dark subject and lyrics that really define this album. Depression and death are very sensitive subject that they are not ashamed of talking off, Jerry Cantrell the lead guitarist is credited for allmost all track and he clearly was a big influence on this reccord, he co-sing on 3 songs. I think Rooster is the best track here, an dark but destructive guiatr riff intro and the chorus "they come to snuff the Rooster", bring a more political and social tone that this album needed. It talk about Jerry's father that was a veteran of the Vietnam war and was nicknam "Rooster" but could be associate to the Gulf war in 1991. Anyway a incredible song with a good story is a pefect song. Other song that i liked are: Junkhead, Godsmack and Would? I generaly liked song about drugs, and three song reference explicitly heroin use with a very open, but not in a candid way, a very dark, trouble and honnest way. Those are Godsmack, sickman and Junkhead. I always though Layne Staley voice look like Kurt cocain, but when we listen closely we see differences and Layne have his own style that we could spot easly. I'm gonna say that this is the ultimate grunge album, i love nevermind, Nirvana and all, but i think the grunge spirit is more honnest and brutal here, the musicality is very good too and althought not very catchy, it is very powerfull and perfetcly fit the vibe of this album. I think this album recived all the credits it deserved, in the peak of grunge and alternative music this reccord push it a another level like Black Sabbath or the Stooges in their respective genra, Heavy Metal and Punk rock were big influences on this band, and you see The 70's punk in the attitude, subject and the hard rock/heavy metal in the music. It sold more than 5 millions of albums in the US alone, so its not just a undeground random reccord, its a phenomenon part of a bigger mouvement and i think its well deserved for them. On the bad side, (not so much to say on paper) i was not attarcted by those tracks, expect the Rooster wich is one of my favorite grunge song, i dont feel the same for a lot of thoses song, That why i would not give him the perfect notation, but i really praise everything, i just don't connect with it at the same level as some of my favorite bands, but its on the music side, not the vibe, the deepnest or the lyrics that i respect a lot.

Of course the second most popular album of all time, with 50 millions sales is gonna be here, i have to say i know som songs, but i never listen to it completely. its dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott and they managed to replace him but they also managed to keep what make them so good with him. If it as sold so many reccord its for a reason, this kind of arena rock, heavy sound and hard rock theme is the key of sucess for them. Hells Bells as a good intro. My favorite are: Shoot to Thrill, Back in black and You shook me all night long. I think those 3 songs ahve the most iconic riffs and vocals by Johnson. The guitar work of the Young brothers is very impressive through out the album I have to say that the other song, except hells bells, kinda all look the same, same paterns, similar lyrics and riffs. So with all that i have come to the conclusion that, this album is good, very easy to listen and apreciate, but i dont find it as good as other heavy or hard rock album, it does not have the toughness of Guns N' roses or the solos of Led Zeppelin, and the viurtuosity of Van Halen (in my opinion) the but the good riffs are amognst the best off all time. I will say that this album is overated, AC/DC is without a doubt one of the best band off all times, but maybe it dosen't deserved as much credit or attention, even tough i say it again its a good album, but i dont find it very origians, a but too much classic and deja vu.

I think it is its last studio album before his death a few months later, i never been a fan or even listen to Johnny Cash's music its mostly a cover album, but still is most known i think today. Hurt is the most famous, beautiful and sad. A cover of Nine inch nails, maybe a suicide note, clearly about depression adn heroin addiction it is truly a good song. Its very superior to the Nine inch nails version i think. In my life is a Beatles cover, on of John's most beautiful song and one of the best from Rubber Soul. In the context of his imminent death i think this song reach another level of truth and deepnest. I was a bit hesitant on the Personal jesus cover (depeche mode) its look nothing like the original, i'm not sure i like it. Is best original song is street of laredo Honnestly country i'm very far to liked country music, and Johnny Cash but i repsect his work and the context to it

Although i’m admirative of psychedelic rock, i’m less of prog rock and that album is closer to prog than psychedelic. I admire the improvisation, the quality of the musicians but is just way too long and sometimes cahotic for me, like 75 minutes with 7 songs is a lot. But i never listen to greatfull dead and this album will kot be my favorite but i might listen to other of their work and i understand why it have gain a lot of acclaims

good

My favorite Who's album is Who's next wich was realeswe the next year, a lot of my favorite songs are not there, but they have a lot of good song from the 60's too. And they are always been known for their impressive and energetic live performances so i'm exited to listen to it. I can't explain and Substitute are some of my favorite songs from them and they are perfecly executed Here are other song that i found very good: Happy Jack, shakin' all over and magic bus. Globably songs are good, they are some cover too, its one of the best live act of the 60's-70's for sure and they prouve it for sure. It's not the best live album i ever listen but its a good collection fo their work and how they sound live.

i'm never gonna listen to german elctro music man

The cover is funny, i like the concept of mount rushmore with the faces of the band members. Its their fourth studio album and their most hard so far, ish heavy metal, the kind of music that would make them legendary in the same categorie as Black Sabbath and Leds Zep. Speed king is a good riff and it have a good organ solo Ian Gilligan vocals are impressive on bloodsucker With only 7 songs the album lengt is like 45 minutes, so the songs are very long, and a lot of them like flight of the rat or child in time are repetitive. Hard lovin' man is one of the fastest and more "heavy" on the album With all that said, i have to say that i'm a big fan of Machine Head their best album and the most sucessfull and i really think this album, nevertheless good, is a bit of a lesser good version, a rehearsla for Machine Head. The best riff here are not in the same league as Smoke on the water, the best solos does not come close to Highway star ect. So yeah not bad but not as good as we know they are

A real metal album, heavy riff, lemmy’s powerfull voice and the also powerfull drums we see it directly with the first song: Ace of spades wich is the best in the album. Shoot you in the back have one of the beat riff with fire fire i think I think this album really show how heavy metal is suposed to sound and look like. With punk elements in addition this album is very a good piece of art. I have to say that i dont really click with this and its not my favorite metal album, but it do sound pretty good

This album literally launch rock n roll, we could argue that without this album and Elvis, the classic rock as we know and love wouldn't exist so just for that this album deserve a lot of credit. Its also the first rock album to reach the top 1 of th billboard The openning track is blue suede shoes wich is one of the most famous Elvis's song and its so catchy groovy and rock that its only better as the openning track. The rest of the song are not as famous today, but they were influencial, like i got a woman who was covered by the Beatles on their BBC sessions. In general its easy to see how this album have a big influence on John and The Beatles. They are softer songs like i'm counting on you, I'll never let you go and I love you because, very rockabily song like Just Because or i got a woman and rock n roll song like Tutti Frutti and Money Honey. All those song and some like Tutti Frutti are inferior to the original, but for the majority, ELvis make them its own musicaly. Anyway from the cover that inspired Clash's London Calling, to the songs that inspired countelss musicians and the Man that inspired whole generations and just is a musical legend, wether we like it this album or not, it as an influence on culture, society and music. Even if only musicaly this album is not the best by Elvis, but for a 1954 reccord, i think this is fair enough

The album that launch one of the greatest band of all times First of all its safe to say that this is a cover album, with only 1 Jagger/Richard composition, with moslty blues, ol’ rock n roll and RNB cover. Its perfecly encapsulate the early 60’s british blues boom, and they did the cover very well. I would say that if it wasn’t the Stones first album we woulnd’t talking about it here, like its not a particularly incredible or original reccord, we all know how good the stones are going to become a few years later, but its their first step so there is a symbol in this album. The groovy I just wanna make love to you (Willie Dixon), the instrumental now i’ve got a witness ( by Nanker Phelge wich is a nickname for the band, that they use during those years), Carol (Chuck Berry) and Tell me (their only credited song on this album) are all my favorite songs of this reccord. Overall is a good, but not a great RNB-Blues Rock album, the Stones first show us their talent and groove, but its not enough to tell yet how great they are.

Never been a fan of synth pop, or tht kind of funky, soul thing so in the begenning its not my kind. so Honneslty i listen to it a bit, not enterly but i don't apreciate it very much

This album is the album that put Janis Joplin's vocal talent to the world cause it was a big sucess with 2 millions sales and #1 in the Billboard. Before even listen to it, i only know 2 songs and Piece of my heart is by far the best, and on of the best song from the 60's tbh always been one of my favorite song form the psycedelic era. First some of the song are reccorded live, and in all the song we see a psychedlic blues and an acid rock sound that could opnly serve the greatnest of the voice of Janis Joplin. We also ear something in piece of my heart that remind me hard rock, and to this day is still one of the most known song by Janis, even tho its a cover. Turtle Blues is a cool caaret kind of song that cleary pay hommage to her biggest blues woman influences. We see the more psychedelic sound in the first two song: combination of the two and i need a man to love Ball and chains is the longest song in the album with more than 9 minutes and is the second best i think wich is still a cover of another Janis's huge influences Big Mama Thorton. I will said one bad thing about this album, is that the best song are covers and they don't really prove their writting qualities with it, but they are very good cover tho and they totay apropriate it (in a good way) Finaly the artowrk, it just magnificient, i like the concept of cartoon to represent all the songs but its so well drawn and funny and well inllustarted. I never undertand why they put the Hell's angels logo, anyway the artist is Robert Crum and he did a fantastic job.

I apreciate the soft rock style and the album was apparently inspired by his breakup with his girlfirend so the thems on the album are very sad and more depressing. But none of the song really strike me ig is not for me but its still good.

I didn't like the album cover, beside that i never listen to it, obviously i listen to her classic on back to black but that all, i also know her tragic story and her legendary voice. The music style is funk, jazz, R'nB and Soul, all kind of music that i don'tg listen very much so i can harldy judge the quality of the alubm. Also i listen to the album in spotify, but i don't find the full album, just remix and all so i'm not sure i really listen to the real thing. Anyway ig for a Soul or Rn'b fan this is some real good music, i'm personaly not attracted by that.

Never heard of this album or this band before. First of all the vocals sound excaly like David Bowie, just leave it there. At the hight of BritPop this album fit in perfection with other bands like Oasis or Blur, i don't think this album is better that Moring glory for example. But there are some good songs like: Mis-Shapes, Monday Morning or Common Peoples. Overall is more pop than rock, with a little bit of experimental, not bad but not a masterpiece i think

I've listen to only two Slade's songs in my life, and both are on this album and are their most famous, Cum on feel the noize and Mama we are all crazee now. This album was release at the hight of glam rock mania in 1972 in England and was one of the most sucessfull glam rock act of that time, between 1971 they would hit 5 #1 in charts and 13 top 10 songs. This album is their most acclaim, famous and probably their best work. Its a glam rock album in most fo the thing, but also a hard rock album, remind me of Aladine Sane, the New York Dolls or The slider by T.rex. Its very original their tradition to make mistake in the name of their songs, not very important to the music but still, its their trademark. Cum on feel the noize is accualy not on the album but a single realese for this album, anyway this song is a very good hard rock song, but the Quiet Riot version is more sucessfull and better. Mama we are all crazee now is the best of the album and probably their best of all time, i like this song is just very enegetic and powerfull. In general i will that this is a pretty good rock n roll album, plus Glam rock is one of my favorite music style so i'm kinda obligated to rate well this album. Even tho i wasn't struck by a lot of songs.

If only a word could describe this whole album it would be: Dark. Sinister, dismal, loud, heavy and fancifull are very accurate to this album too. This album is often (and they are right) consider the first ever Heavy metal album, i mean how could you disagree with that after listenign to it. The first song that gave the band its name is the best exemple of that, a sinister, dark and heavy song. The album is also in the same batch as Led Zep and Deep purlple with some (always very heavy) blues inspired song like the Wizzard and the covers warning and evil woman. I think by far the best song is The Wizzard, an harmonia based riff, with lyrics that were inspired by gendalf and represent the black magic aura around the band that would always follow them through out their carrer. The song are very long in the album nearly 40 minutes with only 7 songs is another classic of that time. Not the mention the scary album cover with the spetralesque woman in a picuresque but still very dark ambiance. Anyway this album was so heaed of its time, him with the follow up album Paranoid would establish Black Sabbath as one of the most influencial and important band of all times, would create a legend with Ozzy Ousbourne and a whole new music style: Heavy Metal

The clash is not my favorite punk band, but i alaways know their influences and their impact, especially with this reccord that i've never listen. First the cover is a reference to Elvis's first reccord, a nice wink to the fact that Elvis represent what the punk mouvement is, at his debut and he became phoney and famous. It represent Paul Simonon destroying his guitar, and its one one the most recgonisable and and the 9th best album cover picture. The titled track: London Calling with is icnnic riff really summ up the album with is lyrics that critised the world they live in with their punk vision, also critisied the fact that the punk mouvement is now too phoney (like beatlemania to their oppnion) Its a double album so their is a lot of track, icnludiong 3 covers: brand new cadillac that pay hommage to on of the first british rock and roller, the other is revlution rock and wrong'em boyo. The lyricals themes are very diverses, we have crime (Jimmy jazz, the guns of brixton) drugs, violence and very urbans problems, desilusion and depression are also important in the album, finaly their is some love songs. The album was release in 1979 so the punk wave was for the most part over, and now new wave is the new thing, The Clash embrace it, still connected to their punk style and attidute but musically they are clearly the most diverse punk just in the differend kind of music they made here, like there is not a lot of 100% punk song here, musically is ol' fashoned rock, jazz, ska, pop and i think reggea was the most present in here. Anyway i didn't apreciate all songs, but for the symbol that this album is, his cultural and musical influences its a punk masterpiece.

This album was the one who really define what the Queen sound will be, hard rock, glam, art with a touch of experimental and prog rock. I think this album is mostly a either Hard rock or Glam rock (more pop) in general, and the first cathegory are written by May, the second category are written by Mercury. The first two songs show it: Brighton rock is a fast song, ish metal with a fucking astonishing guitar solo by Brian May (almost sound like a violin its ground breaking). Killer Queen is a purely glam rock, pop song that still is how we know Queen today, this song for me is the most representative (maybe wrongly) of what Queen is, its a about a luxury escort girl, energetic with a catchy chorus and a good solo. Roger Taylor sing on the 3rd song Tennement funster, wich is not the best on the album but its not bad. The best Glam songs are: Flick of the wrist, Dear friends (wich was written by May), Misfire (written by Deacon) have a really fun riff and musicality. The best hard song are: Now i'm here, Stone cold crazy (wich really sound like heavy metal or punk rock, with a fast rythms, riff and solo, a Brian May masterpiece). The rest of the songs are very good too, not as much as those i think but still this album is very great, equally a great hard rock album as a Glam rock album, a timeless classic by Queen and they will get better with the follow up reccords.

His voice that everyone know without knowing its him, the album is just a good swin like the titled, you feel in a 50's movie and you just imagine the floor in a dance hall in the 50's, its a cool vibe. Its just a jazzy-pop reccord, from Sinatra, and its crazy he was already 20 years into his carrer he was already like 45 at that time. Its just strong voice, jazz instrument, piano and that it. Sinatra is a symbol, from the ol' time america, the america that we see in old movie, maybe its good maybe its wrong but it sound good so whatever. You make me feel so young, you're getting to be a habbit with me, love is here to stay and i thought about you are the bets track i belived.

in 1984, rap was still at its very beggining and RUN-DMC was at the forefront of this emmerging mouvement. With this album they introduce hip hop to a larger audience with their very fashinable style and their rap influences The music was not really my kind but for the influence its a good album

Just for the influence on punk, metal, altetrnative, new wave ect, this album is a 5/5 minimum, but there is more, this album is magnetic, shockingly good, violent, raw and crazy. 7 pure rock songs, some of wich are improvised, with brutal lyrics, loud riffs and the howlin screams (voice) of Iggy Pop wild charsima are what make this album so good. The best critic i have ever haerd about this album is this: "Now I regret all the times I've used words like 'power' and 'energy' to describe rock and roll, because this is what such rhetoric should have been saved for. Shall I compare it to an atom bomb? a wrecker's ball? a hydroelectric plant? Language wasn't designed for the job." -From Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies The track are: Down on the Street: A wild proto-punk song, talking about paranoia, maybe drugs orthe feeling of being high i think its the best oppener possible, the tone is set, the riff is groundb reaking frl. Loose: Here the pure talent of Ron Asheton show all its potential, the intro is just crazy, the riff, bass, drums and lyrics are perfetc, i will say its the best track on the album and my favorite. T.V Eye: The most "metal" song on the album, this song was played by metalicca in 2017 with Iggy and its one of the best live perfomance i have seen (on Youtube), Duff Mackgan from Gn'r as always said this reccord is one of its favorite and in live perfomance he sing it. This song is just great and show all of Iggy's wildness. Dirt: Just the feeling of being horny or maybe high, but in such a raw manner and a dirty (of course) way of saying it with the rythms sectyion like always with them. THe cover by Depeche mode is even better i would say and its difficult to do. 1970: the following of 1969, execpt its not at all the same thing, more hard, reckless and mad, with Iggy's screaming "I FEEL ALLRIGHT" during literaly all the song with a little verse anyway a maybe too long song but its ok. Fun House: The eponym song feature a saxophone part that is allright, featuring also the "HUH" that iggy screaming in the song, the song is often describe as boring but i like, maybe a bit too long for what it is (7.45). L.A Blues: Ok this "song" is madness, first of all its refercing the fact that the album was reccord in Los Angeles, but all the crazinest, madness, rawness and improvisation is condenced in this "song". Its hard to call this a song, is just impriovsed instrument with Iggy's screams like he is a fucking werworlf its kinda scary. and its pretty long liek enarly 5 minutes of that, but they still manage to make it look like its part of the thing, like its not the kind of song you make listen to your friends, but without it, the album wouldn't be complete. Anyway i'm pretty sure you can tell this album is one of my favorite of all time, i know it since 2021 or something and its the kind of album you will either pay a cult to it or never listen about it at all.

Is the album following his return from his military service, a turning point in his carrer, but in a wrong way, at least at his popularity level, because his would be faucusing on his acting carrer and most of the albums he would be release will be soundtrack. Apparantly this album wasn,t a commercial sucess but it was a critical one. Songs that catch my attention more than the other are: Make me know it (very rock n roll and energetic), the more rnb Fever, i will be home again, dirty feeling and the pianoesque Soldier Boy. Clearly this album is techniclay and musically superior to most of his predecessor form the 50's, but his fame was declining at the time so it dosen't have the sucess of his previous release but its a good reccord. It is still some Elvis, nothing very shocking and new but a bit better i enjoy it.

What a legendary album, everybody know it, that one crystalise Nirvana's talent and made themj into incon. More, Kurt was on a Heroin withdrawall, so his perfomance could have been a disaster but Kurt interact with the crowd and his voice, although a bit hoarse, its perfect. This album was relaese a few months after his tragic death, so i see this album as his legacy, probably the reason why this alobum was such a sucess with 12 millions sales (certified). There 14 songs, 6 covers (3 of the meat puppets II), and 8 of there orgiginals song, 1 from Bleach (About a girl, the oppener), 4 nevermind (Come as you are, Polly, On a Plain, Something in the way) and 3 In Utero (Pennyroyal Tea, Dumb and All apologies). The first thing we see is the constrast between Nirvana's hard and brutal grunge sound and the accoutic rock that they show us here, for an artist i always see it a a sign of their talent and how good are their songs. It was a risky bet because what make Nirvana so good is their powerfull and cahotic live show and they managed to "control" themself and again its perfect. To be honnest most version are better here than in the original (All Apologies, About a girl, on a Plain ect.) Even if Kurt Cobain is the star and at the center of this perfomance, I have to mention Kris novoselic and Dave Grohl that were always there and a so much important part of that quality in this album. There is also a other guy name Pat Smear that play accoustic guitar with them. i'm kind of biased because i know this album for so long, always been part of my music life, Kurt was a big idol of mine even tho i'm not from the x generation and i was born 10 years after he died, but his impact was so big, even my generation know this guy and this band and if they do, pretty sure they know this album. The most legendary song here are i thhink 2 cover, the man who sold the world is a Bowie song from 1970's and this version is so good, far superior to the original (wich is vey good), aparantly when Bowie played it live, people would say things like "so cool you cover Nirvana". The closer is Where did you sleep last night is just pure and magnetic, his voice break into our head is incredible. On this album my personal favorite are: All apologies, On a plain, Come as you are, The mand who sold the world, about a girl and Something in the way. Go listen to it its pure and a great way to be introduce to Nirvana. RIP KURT Love U xxx

Never been a rap fan, but i was a Pac fan at the time, he is still and icon even for a guy that don't even listen to rap. This album perfecltly capture his essence, a lover guy, with a gangsta style and a activist, all make it enjoyable for all, it explain the success and the acclaims it get. Dear mama is the most famous track here, a very smooth song introspective and beautiful. Musicaly is pure hip hop, with sample and his fantastic flow, its also RnB and a little bit funk (depend on the track). So many tears is very good, Young Niggaz too, Can U get away (another more sentimental song) and fuck the world wich denonce the ghetto life. Anyway even for people who dont listen to hip hop its possible to listen to this album and found it very very good, its clearly one of the most complete rap album ever made.

I'am a vinyles collector and this is the first album i recived, and to be honnnest i don't remeber why i ask for this one, because i only knew 2 songs, but i ended up listening to it and never regreting it ever since. Form the first note of Baba O'Reilley to the legendary yelling of won't get Fooled again this album is genius. Its their first album in 2 years at tht point, so its the follow up to Tommy a imensly popular album, their first opera rock wich gain a lot of critical and popular acclaims, so the pressure was high to make something good. For a lot of reasons this album is their most succesfull and acclaim in their carrer, at the beggening Pete Townshend wanted to make a opera album like Tommy but it was abandoned, but they make a more classic studio album instead. It was supposed to be called Lifehouse a kind of sci-fi rock album. The participation of all 4 memebrs is clear, Daltrey sing with his imense voice and power, while Moon play the drums like all hell break loose (he played violin in Baba O'Reilley), Towsnehd is a guitar hero we all know that but he sing on 1 song and he sing the bridge of 3 others songs. Entwistle is often considered THE gresteast bass player of all time and its easy to see why, he sing in one song. For the music style the Who were a garage rock, mod rock band at the beggening, but this album is clearly a Hard Rock album, less hard than Led Zep or Blakc Sabbath, but still very powerfull. They also use accoustic guitar, piano and other instruments and some song are more ballads than hard rock. For me personaly the track form best to "worst" (because they are all good) are: Won't get fooled again is hard-progressive track, the tension esclate up to that YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH form Daltrey, the song talk about a revolution and a political desillusion, often lead to long drums solo for Keith Moon and has been used countless time in the pop culture, like in CSI Miami where i first year it, every time he say it i could hear Horatio Kaine said a punchline and the generic started. Baba O'Reilley: It'a simply on of the greatest rock song of all times, its really a Arena rock classic, and a classic of the band. The introduction is magic, recognisable between a thousand. The violin ending played by Keith Moon is also a good part. Behind blues eyes, is more of a ballad, accousitc guitar, beautiful lyrics and more slow tempo, a very good song. The Song Is over is another example of a song written for the Lifehouse project but was recycled here with sucess i have to say, we have the verse sing by Pete with a synthezer and a Piano, very slow and sad song. Adn the Chorus sing by Daltrey wich a good constast, and its just beautiful and all. Bargain, good song, good instruments and all, not much to say Love aint for keeping, i don't got much to say about this one, its good wituh behind exeptional Getting tune, is not a particulary impactfull song but i like it My Wife, i'm gonna be a bit mean, but this song is not really good, i don't like Entiwstle's voice but its not a trash song too, it got the bare minimum to be in this album and its ok. Anyway this album is a reasons why electric guitar has been invented, pure talent here, the Who at their best, not a perfect reccord but not very far form it.

For starter psychedelic rock is one of my favorite rock style, from 1968, this album is their most famous so even tho i never listen to it, its my kind of musc The oppening track: Care of Cell 44 is a very good psycedelic pop song, remind me on the Beachs Boys in like pets sounds. A Rose for Emily is more of a baroque song, with the piano is very good. Time of the season is a song that i know for a very long time, without knwoing it was from them, its a classical psychedelic rock song, its the best and ost famous on the album. For the rest of the song i won't go track by trakc, but this album is very good an could be compare (a bit less good tho) to classic like pet sounds, disraeli gears and the kinks. Is used a variety of music style like pop, baroque, chamber and rock. The vocals harmonies are efficent and the voice of the singer Colin Blunstone as a beautiful voice and its very obious here. Its a lesser good version of pets sounds wich is one of the greatest albums of all times so its not that bad, they have their unique sounds and music.

The first song use the same riff as Oasis's masterpiece wonderwall, and in general they are in the same kind of music as them: Britpop. And in addition it has been named the second best brittish albums of the last 30 years (in 2010). It's classical britpop, alternative rock and all, the songs slow, emotional and hovering, the voice of the lead singer show it all. The cover is pretty cool, with the snow and all i like it. The fear is at the image of the album, with the same qualities, its probably my favorite. Why does it always rain on me deserved a credit his very powerfull chorus and his beautifulness are very pleasant to ear. Not much more to say to be honnest, very good stuff here, but nothing really print his mark on me

A masterpiece amongst masterpiece, by one of the greatest band of all times. With is iconic artwork and symbols that Led Zep use cause they were tired of bad critics, even with that, the album was a tsunami in term of sales (38 millions wordwide), the best Led Zep sellers. This album altough called Led Zeppelin IV, officialy don't have a name. This album only have 8 songs, but it didn't need more, all those songs could be greatest hits some fo the best solos, lyrics and riff figure in this album I will describe all those song to show how good this reccord is The openning is Black Dog, a hard rock classic, iconic Muddy Waters inspired riff, some dark and diabolical lyrics, its the pinnacal of what a Led Zeppelin song should be. Its ranked aongst the best sogn of all times and you understand why very quiclky Rock And Roll is even more hard rock, THE most hard song Led Zeppelin ever has, on this on we have to credited the incredible drums part by Bonham, the solo is particulary impressive too. It was written as a response to medias critisising the most accousitc folk rock of the previous album. The Battle Of Evermore, there is so much originals thing about this song, first its based of a Madolin riff, with a guest folk singer Sandy Denny to accomopagny Plant on vocals. Here the intersting part is the lyrics, a story ijnspred by scottish independance wars and possibloy Lord Of the Rings, an evil vs good type of story, apparantly Plant's vocal part represent the narrator of the story, and Denny's part represent the people affected by the war. What to say about Stairway To Heaven, This song could have been the only reason why this album is consider on of the best of all times. I will go very simply, everything on this song, every band members contribution, intruments, lyrcs is play, sing and placed perfectly. The Intro, Midde part, solo and outro are just so well placed togheter to created a thing that is just out of this world. There is no song out there that could compete with this, its a disrespect to all those songs Stairway to Heaven is on top of the rock world, the ultimate song, honneslty i hope i would have alzhiemer to be hable to ear it the first time again. Misty Mountain hop, is i think on of the only song in Led Zeppelin carrer that explicitly reference drugs, in this case weed. Its my least favorite of the album, but the least good song on Led Zeppeling IV is still a pretty solid good song. More Hippish kinda lyrics, also with Lord of the Rings influenced, another reason to like this band. Four Sticks has an amazing guitar riff, on of my faorite by Led Zep, but it also contain a fantastic synth part by John Paul Jones, and the chorus is accoutic and when it turn back to electric is minf blowing i think, pretty mjuch underated and not often perfomed in live, still a magnificent song. Going to California show use how good they are, a slow quiet song, could be consider as folk rock, a love declaration to Folk singer Joni Mitchell. Its a beautifull song, but a beautifull guiatr part, the mandolin make us dream and Plant's voice make us wanting to go to an iydilic California. When the Leaves Breaks is good because of Bonham druming once again, the riff is loud and powerfull but the drum intro is one of his best. With that all said, this album could only be describe by himself, by lsitening to it and 100% sure you are going to be amaze by this piece of art by Led Zeppelin. Its a collection of 8 insanly good songs, magical and perfect, i will always remeber what this album make me feel like.

Always been a big fan of 60's classic christmas songs, produce by a genius producer Phil Spector, who was also out of his mind crazy but that's another story. Its song that we all know, but not necerally from those particular artist, and its intersting to re-discover thoses. +i'm from québec so i know the french version of those song, so its even more wierd for me but its pretty cool. And for a lot of them wixch are traditionly sing by men are by woman who are RNB singer wich give it a special touch that is beautifull i think. Best songs: Sleigh Ride (Ronettes) Frosty the snowman (Ronettes) White Christmas (Darnele Love) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Crystals) Winter Wonderland (Darnele Love) Santa Claus is comming to town (Crystals) I Saw Mommy Kissign Santa Claus (Ronettes) The album closing is a spoken message from Phil Spector who thank the people who help him produce this album, the artists, the public and himself, with the music of silent night. Honneslty i'm not a fan of chrismtas album, except those form various artist like this one and i even like more song from the 60s, so the combination is just perfect. Merry Christmas (2023) to everyone who will read this!!! Joyeux Nöel à tous!!!!!

Therse she goes is a timeless song, beautiful, truly emotinal and magnificent, some say its about heroin addiction, but apparently its not, but surely about love and hope. The iconic guitar riff is really make it the masterpiece of this album. Its the most alt-rock song on the album. The rest of the songs are not at the same level, but some are very good like Son of a gun, I Can't Sleep, Feelin', way out and I.O.U A downside could be that some of the good song like Feelin' (who could have been a very Beatles song), is that they are too short like less than 2 minutes for some. Like some songs could have been longer and the album could have less songs but just my oppinion. Overall the sound is a bit like a 60's british rock band and an alt rock band of the 80's. Some drew comparaison between the Lead singer Lee Marvers and Lou Reed as rock poet and torture soul and i could agree to that. Its a classic of british alt rock, very good stuff, it echo to 60's pop rock and british invasion so its very very good.

Destroyer is the first studio album by Kiss to be a massive sucess, the follow up to their commercial breakthrough Alive!, this re3ccord was supposed to prouve their are abable to produce a great album, and they did. The album was produce by Bob Erzin wich is one of the best rock producer of all times, we could see his great work especially in Beth and Great Expectations. I have to talk about the artowork, Kiss' album covers and thir general iconography, in lot du to their fantastic makeup and flamboyant style, but Kiss albums cover are some of the better looking in rock, and this one is by a mille the most beautifull and iconic. Kiss will always be a live act before a great stuido band, but i thinki they achieve great with this album, the things on wich we are suposed to juge a Kiss Album are: The energy, the riff and the power. They also manage to prouce they can do other type of rock, such as a ballad, with Beth, wich is one of their greatest sucess and their highest charting song in the US, sing by Drummer Peter Criss, Beth is on of the most beaytiful and good rock ballad of all time. Detroit rock city and Shout it out loud are the other sucess, most traditional Kiss like song, very agressive riff an strange intro in detroit rock city, but for both are very good i think, very solid arena rock songs. King of the Knight time world is a very good song, Stanley's vocals are the most good in the album i think and one of the best song in the album. In general i would said that the song sing by paul Stanley in this album are better than those by Gene Simmons, but he still have some good songs too, Like God of Thunder wich is one of the heavyer song in the album. Great expectation is the best song by Gene in the album for me. With the gospel singing, its cleraly one of their best in this reccord Flaming Youth, Sweet Pain and Do you love me? are allright, kiss was never know for their orignal choice of topics and those are decent songs, not very particular or original, but still good. In conclusion Destoyer is ceritified at 2 millions sales in the us, and still toay on of their most acclaim and suc esfull reccord, i think is their best in a lot of terms and it mark the debut of their massive assension toward the top of the moutain of Rock N Roll, paving the way for other glam metal, heavy metal and rock n roll artists for decades. Lot of people said they are overated, i agree, but before i accualy listen to thei albums, like Destoyer, Rock n roll Over, and their first 3 albums and i uderstand what make them so good, so no they are not overated they are on of the biggets rock band in the world.

I see this album a it strangely, like its a Beatles album so its absolutly great, but for a Beatles album they didin't put any major singles, and it has 6 RNB covers. The major difference with their debut Please Please Me, is the reccording, the first one was a bit rush (but its so authentic) and they have more time for this one. They dubded they voice, they used more instruments and used more original reccording technic. The album cover look simple today but accualy it was a pretty original photo at the time, and it is one of the most replicate album cover of all times. For the songs we have 14 songs, 6 covers, 3 sings by Harrison and 1 by Ringo. All my loving is probably their most famous from this album, a good classic Beatles song, not much outstanding but very pleasant to hear. The best songs are: Don't bother me, the first original compiositon by George Harisson himself. It won't be long is the oppening and the back vocals really makie the diffrences here. Roll Over Beethoven is a cover of Chuck Berry and it is sing by George. Little Child is fun and easy listening, on of my favorite. I wanna be your man, is sing by Ringo, but they give it to an emmerging London band, call the Rolling Stones. TIll there was you is slower than most of the song, sung by Paul, very interisting song, its a cover of Meredith Wilson. Please mr Postman is a single form the Marvelettes sing by john and i like it too. The others song are not bad, but not very good either, at least not very out standing. I see this album most as a follow up to bost their already skyrocketing celebrity, and to boost their single that could have appear in the album, like I Want to Hold your hand and She Love You (two of their biggest succes). This album contain too much cover too, there some good one like i mention, but the 3 others are not worth it. Anyway, its a Beatles album and i love it, but not as much as ther Beatles Reccord, and it deserve some attention.

I have to say that i never heard of this album and the artist whasoever, and i never listen to afro-cuban jazz. But as a non-jazz apreciator, i accualy found this album very good, its easy listening jazz, no lyrics just the music and its a cool vibe. The vibe make you feel like you are in a Havana tavern or a speakeasy its just so cool. Nothing much to say, apparently it is a very influencial album and machiuto is a well-known figure in the jazz world.

Dylan's more rock album, a turning point in his carrer and in rock n roll history. Everybody knows Like A Rolling Stone, one of the most acclaim and famous rock song of the 1960's, on of the bes and most influencial song of all times, but the rest of the album, is at least for me, completely unknown so exepct for Like A Rolling Stone, i don't know any of the others 8 songs. The album cover is probably one of his most famous with one of his friend behind him. The rest of the album is pretty similar to other 60's act like the Byrds (who were imensly influenced by Bob Dylan) and the Beatles especially the album Help!. Its not just folk rock its also a lot Blues rock with harmonica parts, bluesy riffs and songs like toubstone blues and it take a lot to laugh and it take a train to cry. I have to be honnest, Dylan is on of the best songwritter in music history, but his voice, how to say it... i dont like it, it do fit perfecly well his persona and his lyrics compensate, but still i have to say it. To be honnest i have some expectations listening to this album, with the song Like a Rolling stones as the oppener, but i was a bit disapointed, i aknowledge its huge influence and the turning point for Dylan to used electric guiatr insted of classical accoustic folk guitar. But none of the other 8 sogns really impress me. But maybe Dylan is just not really for me an the revolution of this album could be only the song Like A Rolling stone

The first symphonic metal album i ever heard, never been a great fan of Metalicca so i don't have a lot of expectations. The openning is the ecasty of gold (i don't know it was call that) but its the main song in the god the bad and the ugly so its pretty cool. Its a great combinason of metallica energetic and powerfull metal sound and the magnestic symphonic of the orchestra of San Franscisco. Because i don't know a lot of metalicca songs, i couldn't apreciate as much of his value this album, but the sound of the fans screaming before and after each songs prouve how much they are a good band, simply not my favorite. Enter Sandman is one of the best Metalicca song in my oppinion and its this version that i like the most in the album

i know Marianne Faithfull for two things, one being linked in some way in the dead of Jim Morisson, and the other is being in relationship with Mick Jagger. This album was her comeback, she struggled with a lot of issus in the years prior, like heroin addiction, anorexia and finacial problems, anyway i didn't listen her prior reccord so i'm not able to say how much of a diffrence it make. Its a new wave kinda reccord, with syntetizer and all The album contain a cover of John Lennon's working class hero wich is really diffrent from the original Why'd ya do it is probably the most original in the album with the electirc guitar intro and the more rock vibe to it. I don't have a lot to say, not very impressive

The title is a reference to the Paul Revere Midnight ride during the independance war, wich the band took their name. The album seem to be a transition from their rock and roll garage sounfs to a more experimental and psychedelic sounds, like most and of the time. The album look like a mix between the Kinks and the monkees, especialy songs like kicks, ballad of a useless man and Get it on. I'm not your steppin stone was cover by the Monkees and its probaly one of their most famous songs My favorite songs are: There she goes, take a look at yourself and Kicks. Its funny how some songs title like Get it On and there she goes are tittle of others great song from T.Rex and the La'S i dont know if they drew inspirations from them. Anyway i would not say that its a bad album, but it is so unoriginal, like i dont have much to say like its far from being a great album, like i wasn't hooked by any of those songs. Like i understand how the band could have been ifluencial in early punk and alternative rock but i don't know not so much of a good album here.

I find it cool that he take the same cover of Heroes and kind of ruin it with a big white square with the title of the album, in classic Bowie way he changes all the times. I'm a crazy big fan fo Bowie's glam era but i'm less used to all of his work after and he as a lot of great stuff. It is his first album in ten years up until that moment I'm not used to his material after the 70's so i'm not sure to apreciate this album in particuliar, but its Bowie so i respect it a lot.

First we have to say that this album is the follow up to one of alt rock all time best album of all time: The Queen Is Dead, so its a hard album to macth I never listen to it and i'm not a big Smith fan but i'll try. I think is one of their tradmark but the song tittle are very long, i coudn,t remeber one by heart To be honnest i wasn't impress by this one, none of those song really make a mark on me and yeah kinda disapointed but i know they are a great band but they have better reccord.

Glam Rock is one fo the best kind of rock ever made and they are part of it David Bowie really seem to be a huge influence of the album, just the voice of the singenr lookj like him, some riff and lyrics too, especially like the Aladine Sane reccord realese the same years Whizz Kid id perhaps the best on the album and sound like a Bowie siongs, but that will never be a bad thing Violence is good, good guitar and siging Ballad of Mott the Hoople is pretty too, slower and more emotional Its a classic Glam rock album, nothing so original about it, but as i said they are part of a beautiful era in british music and rock in general so its a good beggening, but compare it to Bowie, the New york dolls or T.rex i don't think it match them. But still very good.

If Little Richard is the architect of rock n roll, this album is the blueprint mainly know for its classic RnB and early rock n roll sound. Two songs stand out and are probably its best known songs, Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally. Tutti Frutti is an energetic song, pretty wild for the time that would define the rock n roll sounds for decade to come, know for its intro "A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom!" and the chorus "tutti frutti, o rudy", his screaming voice is what drive this song. Long tall sally was cover so many time, including by the Beatles and Elvis, but his version is far superior, just for being the original Other songs are classic RnB early rock n roll sunds, nit particulary worth listening but not bad at all. We have to say that Richard's style is fast and very energetic compare to others from that time. Readdy Teddy look too much like long tall sally. Baby, Slippin' and Slidin' and rip it up are good Anyway Little Richard was really a unique figure in rock, a pioneer who was extremely provocative for its time, the way he sing, he dance and he dress and was one of the first black artist to reach white audiences.

In the tumoltus and crazy rock n roll story of one of its greatest band, The Rollings Stones, this album is a turning point, in every sens of the terms. First of all in 1969 the music world was changing fast, the flower power and the summer of love are gone, the psycedelic rock turn into various music style and new form of music emmerge from the underground. In all of that turmoil, the Rolling stones were on of those band that experience lot of issus during that time, their original leader was suffering from huge drug addiction was unreliabale and was almost absent from the reccording, hey play minor instrument on 2 songs. They hired Mick Taylor as a replacent on 2 track and he will eventyually fill the gap leave by Jones. On the music side they shift from more classic rock to their root, especially their american root, with country, blues, Gospel and RnB. The album contain a few very know rolling stone track, like gimme shelter, midnight rambler and you can't alkways get what you want. And in those song and the rest of the songs you could clrealy see what music style influence them The album open with Gimmer Shelter wich is a open critic of the Vietnam war and its c onsequense, prouving that the rollings stones haven't lost their more political lyrics after the hippie period. You see the gospel influence in the verse "Its just a shot away" sing throughout the song and the backing vocals by Merry Clayton. Then Love in vain, wich is a cover by on of the grestest bluesman ever, and a defenitive influence of Keith Richards and all the Stones, Robert Johnson. The arrangement is off course very diffrent (Robert was alone with his guitar facing a wall), with Kieth using a slide guitar and the song being twice as long as the original. But the song is really beautifull and is a well done tribute to one of their idol. Country Honk is a strange song, because its a country version of Honky Tonk woman (The best Stones song ever for me). This version is less good, but its a good song for this album, but probably at the time is was a best idea to make Honky tonk woman as the main single. The next song is Live with me and its the first contribution of Mick Taylor in the band for a harder rock song, but overall its not a particularly interesting song i think. Let it Bleed gave is name to the album and is for me a very intersting song on the lyrical point, as the song contain some sexual references and a direct verse talking about cocaine. As we know especially at that time the Rolling stone we the ultimate sex drugs and rock n roll band and the song pretty much summ it up. Midnight rambler is according to Keith a "Opera Blues", the song is the story of a serial killer name the Boston Strangler. A pretty good classic blues song with spicy lyrics about a serial killer is the pinacle of a Rolling Stone song. Brian Jone play the congas on this song You got the silver is the first song featuring Keith Richard on lead vocals, and to my great surprise he has a really good voice, perfect for this country-bluesy song another i would say "pure" Stone song. Monkey man is not bad but not great, it dosen,t really stand out i think. I think the last song on this album is one of the most know and clebrate rolling stone songs, if the gospel influence wasN,t clear enough, its more than obivous her, with the intro singing magesticly by a choral. Then the accoustic part is also evenly beautifull, then the electric and the backing vocals get in and create probaly on of the best song fo all times. The song contain lyrics that were perflecty in the domain of the rollings stone like drug, revendication, politics and sex. I think this song relfect its time at perfection, the late 60's were touble time ofr the youth with all thoses issus and this somg summarize it all. This album is a all time classic, and as i said a turning point as well for rock than for the Stone themselfe, a few months after the album was relaese, they fired Brian Jones due to his drug addiction that will eventually kill him coupple week later. Then they will organise their own woodstock, Altamont, wich will be a diasater and will symoblicly kill the 60's. As the Stone enter theit golden era of the 70's wich will make some of their greatest album but also their darkest moment and this album was the first of those.

i'm not a big fan of Skipknot, nu metal espicially form the lat 90's

Rocks is the follow up to their massive commercial breakthrough Toys In The Attic, this album came on while they are at the top of their young career commercialy and creativly, they are on of the greatest band in america representing hard rock. First the album is a classical Hard rock album, but somethime it feel way more bluesy than other of their contemporary will still souning pretty heavy. In general the album feel like a whole, no song are worst of particulary better than the other, that could be a flaw, but in this case i think it create a great album. Some song stand out for me like: Rats in the cellar: The intro feel like the bridge in whole lotta love, and its a good things, will the fast tempo lyrics and the way the chorus is sing are very cool and the song in globably exclent, i would say its best in the album. Back in the Saddle: Its the oppener and its a good intro i think pretty cool and give the tone for the rest of the album Sick as a dog: Have a cool riff and lyrics, inspired by the Byrds and feel like a hard rock version of a Byrds song wich is pretty cool. The others song are pretty good, dosen't feel repetitive but work as a whole, i just click more with those one, and its due to the magic that was opering between all the band, especislly the toxic twins Joe Perry and Steven Tyler. Last Child: Have a very Funky sounding riff, wich sound like Love'em leave Em by kiss (probably the other way around, because rock and roll over was release a few month later). The intro is pretty cool, but the riff really carry oyt the song The album have a huge impact on rock music, Joe Perry describe it a a jewel in their discography and a model for all rockers in the country. The album was a massive commercial sucess with 4th time platinum status in the US (4 millions reccorded sales), but was less sucessfull than Toys in the Attic, probably because it lacks a big big hit like dream on or Walk this way. But its probably the most criticly acclaim album of the band, and it influences a lot of famous musicians. Kurt Cobain, Nikki Sixx, James Hetfield and Slash all said this album was influencial of it make them want to play guitare. Like Slash one of the best rock guitare hero and founder of the greatest band of all times, without Aeorsmith i doubt they ever existed due more specifly to this album. For that i think this album deserve all the good press and acclaim it recived.

5 stars. Without even analysing it, its just bonus, you alreadfy know its a perfect note. Its the first really 100% experimental album by the Beatles followeing some experimentations in their previous album the perfect Rubber Soul. This album is simply a masterpiece from all points, the iconic cover, the studio experimentations, the global creativity, the lyrical themes, the song in themself just everything. Two big factors that play a key role in this album are a drug name LSD and a band call the Beachs Boys. The first one is a psycedelic drug that the Beatles were experimenting a that time, especially John Lennon, the drug help them expending their mind and made their creativity limiteless. The others is a american band that were in a sort off rivalry with the Beatles in the experimentation side, their leader, the genius Brian Wilson, create another timeless masterpiece with Pets sounds that came out a few month earlier while they were reccording the album. They also take inspiration from the avant-garde and underground artistic scene in London and the earliest form of the psecedelic rock form in the United-States, but also from George Harisson ever growing facsination for Indian and Oriental music. ALL and i mean ALL the band was a their creative peak (with SGT peppers the next year) from the producer George Martin, to the engering Geoff Emmrick and off course Ringo Starr. That what make this album so special, it feel like a whole, not jst a compilation of songs like most of their previous albums (execpt Rubber Soul). We have for the first times the 3 songs writter of the Beatles working alone or toghether to write some of ther best songs in their discography. George have for the first time the honnor to be have the opennign track with Taxman wich talk about the taxes, politics and George's new regard on money. On this one Paul plays the solo and Ringo really take drumming to another level. With he's new friend Ravi Shankaar, learn to play Sitar an tradditional Indian instrument and create a song call Love To you, wich is probably the first indian song plays by mainstream western artists wich is a big deal. George 3rd contribution is i want to tell you wich is pretty good, still showing his songwritting skills have improve, but not the best in the album. On this album Paul really take the writting level to the roof, his contribution really make him the offical romantic, harmonical and most beautifull song-writters of the band. Eleanor Ridgy wich is probably one of the best song ever, talk about loneliness and is a more sad song that the usual Beatles standard. Here, There and Everywhere is the definition of what a love song should be, it was inspired by the Beachs Boys God only knows epecially the vocals harmonical part wich is God-Givenly beautifull. Paul Others contribution include: For no one, Got to get you into my life, and good day sunshine. Ringo was not a song writter but the could sing and prouve it to us with is most iconic song and one the the most iconic Beatles song: Yellow Submarine. Wich is a song that appeal me very much when i was a kid and i discover the Beatles, very strong memory for me and just prouve the Beatles could do anything even children songs and still being the best. John stand out for the lyrical themes he used, while the Beatles only wrote about girls and love before, John break that rule with Nowhere man on Rubber Soul and break it ever more here with song about his experimentatyion with drugs, lazyness, a speciasl doctor. And for the majority of those song they are the most experimental of the album and in the Beatles carreer, song like I'm only Sleeping, She Said She Said and of course one of the best psycedelic song of all times Tomorow Never Knows. In I'm only sleeping John really get us to his head in a time he was feeling alone and sad and everybody make fun of him, Doctor Robert is a bit of humoristic song about a Doctor who was giving drugs to his clients, proably a reference to the fact that their dentist make them try LSD in 1965 by putting in in their cofee (take a drink from his special cup). She Said She said talk about another LSD trip in California with Peter and Jane Fonda and members of The Byrds (who were also pretty influencial in the Beatles music and vis versa). Finanly Tomoroww Never Knows wich is the first time an artist undersdtand they could use the studio itself as a music intrument with reverse solos, opressive sounds and distorted voices. Lyricaly the song is incredible, John talka bout his experiences with LSD (again yes) and is inspired by Timothy Leary writting (a psycologue who push for psycedelic drugs and was a symbol of counter culture). The others song are not bad simply not as great in my opnnion but they are still important in the album, because this is a whole thing, a single psycedelic piece of art. Ringo din't have as much credit as the other but he manage to follow the experimental train with ease and his fantastic drumming that keep all the songs in place. It's very hard for any died-hard Beatles fan to just pick one album and said, this the best they ever made, but this one is definitly a contender. But not only for the title of best Beatles album, for the title of best album ever made, along with Pets Sounds. This album is the beggening of couter-culture taking over the music world an setting the stage for the summer of love (1967) and more musicaly paving the way for a whole new generation of artists, new sounds and experimentations.

Ever wonder what a miz between underground new york punk scene, 50's rockabily and folk rock would sound like? Well this album sound exaclty like that, a folk-punk rock album, inspired by early alternative rock like the velvet underground, the CBGB scenes (Television, The heartbreakers, Richard Hell and the Talking Heads.) and some traditional folk and early rock n roll artists like Hank Williams, Gene Vincent or Woody Guthrie. The result give a strange but somehow good mix, a punk album but accoustic. The main song is Blister in the sun by far the best one, follow by Gone Daddy Gone and Kiss off. Blister in the Sun as some interesting lyrics apparantly refer to heroin use, addiction in general or masturbation, or just a girl, or to be in love. The way Gordon Gano sing the song is also special at some point he literaly whisper the lyrics and the beat is so cool. Gone Daddy Gone as a kinda funny instrumental part with a xylophone intro a very orignal choice of music but yet very good. Kiss Off really make me think of the Velvet Underground, like in the voice, the instrumental and the way they sing the verses (like there she goes again or White light/White heat). Add it Up, prouve my love, promise and To the Kill are other very good songs that really add to this strange but good reccord. Anyway this abum is an early exemple of how the rock sc ene will transform 10 years later, an they were pretty influencial for those band that would follow in the alt rock path.

This album have been describe has "The Wall for generation X", it got a pretty good artwork and the CD have cool design and a booklet with the lyrics of the songs that reminds us of a old story book. The album is goddman long too, i'm never sure about double album to be honnest, any of them, sometimes they are just too long with very random and "useless" songs, even if the album have a concept like this one, or the wall. The album goes from instrumental, to art rock with an orchestra to classic grunge and alt rock, its pretty intersting. Some songs that stand out, among 28 we have Tonight Tonight (with the orhestra is very beautiful) JellyBelly one of the hardest song on the reccord. Zero is also pretty hard and its one of their best known I like the riff in Here Is No Why The others song are not bad, simply not so much impactfull i think, they range from calm and melodic song, to heavy in your face alt rock.

HELLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!!!! This is a monument wheter you like it or not, even i found a lot of those song boring and repetitive, but they were so influencial, brutal and raw that it's good anyway. The legend tell us that they enter the studio with only a few unfinished songs and they write all the rest of the album them all in just one night. The album was produced by Velvet Underground's John Cale, wich have done a mix accused to be too similar to the Velvet Underground eponymus album. The songs follow all the same path, short lyrics, simple lyrics, brutal rythms section, distored guitar and raw vocals by Iggy Pop. The best song are: 1969 an song about the disilusion of that generation after the colored summer of love, it set the stage for a more dark and brutal decade. I wanna be your dog is perhaps the best Stooges song, his riff is just out of this world, intense and incenssent. The definition of proto-punk rock with and distroted in the red intro, lyrics that tell a tourtured love (bdsm) and Iggy's voice that ript us appart. No Fun is also a song that explain why the punk mouvement simply exist, this is thei moto, long before No Future. Again, simpel lyrics, distroted and brutal riff, and repetitve in general, but that's the spirit. They are a coupple of psychedelic injspired songs: We will fall, a 10 min experimental song, that reminds me of the Doors and the Velvet, almost like a monk on acid kinda sounds. And Ann, a hypthonic song that al,so remind me of Jim Morrison vocals in album like The Soft Parade, but more aggresive. The other song are more in the veins of No fun and 1969: Like Real Cool time, Not Right and Little Doll, i don,t finf them special. It's easy to understand why this album has failed at the time, completly against the tide of popular music a the time, but defenitly ahead of their time. I think this album set the stage but its not The best. I Think FunHouse and Raw Power are way more important and simply better but its just my oppinion without this album, a lot of band and song would never touch our ears.

I have heard so much about this album but i never listen to it completely and its always a pleasure to discover or redisover some Rollings stone stuff. This album is globably consider to be a shift from their psychedelic ear and a return to their root as a blues rock band, after an album (Their satanist majesties request) that is also globaly consider, but as a faillure. And its the beggenign of the golden era for the stones they used a more "americanized" sound and music styles, and a more sucesfull period commercialy and criticaly. The first song is arguably the best Stones song ever, and one of the best song ever: Sympathy for the devil wich is simply a masterpiece in every way possible, a response to the Beatles All You Need is love and to the hippie mouvement in general. Lyricaly is a song by devil sopken at the first person, and he tell he was there druing some of history most significative events (The cruxifiction, the russian revolution, WW2, The Kennedys assasination ect.) and tell us the listener to pay him sympathy. He also tell us that we all have a bit of the devil inside us ("I shouted who killed the kennedys, when in after all, it was you and me"). The song was accualy reccord during a boilling period, a year of strong manifestion and revendication around the west especcially in france (mai 68) and in the USA (with the vietnam war), and Robert kennedy was killed during the reccording of the song, that why Mick add an "S" to Kennedy. For all its complexity and inteligence in the lyrics, and what he represend for the younth of the time, that song is simply perfect, one of my all time favorite, just the intro give me chills and all the instrumentals is majestic (the song is driven by the piano riff and the bass not the guitar). And of course the famous "woo woo" The other song that i know from this album is Street Fighting Man, this song is also a response to the Beatles song revolution, that the Stones consider as soft. The song is a perfect encapsulation of what the youth was feeling at the time, in London. The chorus is just magic for me and is on of my favorite Song from the Stones (with sympathy and Honky Tonk Woman). The music perflecty fit the lyrics wich perflecly fit the time wich make it a perfect song. For the rest of the album we have: No expectations that is traditional blues song, a tribute to Robert Johnson and Brian Jones last major contribution (he play so well the guitare slide), its a good classic blues song, whta we expect from the Stones. Dear Doctor, Parachute woman, Jigsaw Puzzle, Prodigal song are other traditional country blues song, good but not so special. Stray Cat Blues is a bit more special, first its inspired by Velvet underground's Heroin, and its about a man (Mick) who want to sleep with a 15 years old girl saying its no capital crime. Facory Girl do not look like a Rolling stone song at all, just a traditional folk song from the 50's about a man who wait for her girlfriend who work at a facory. But its really them who wrote it and sing it. Salt of the earth is a tribute to all the hard working people in the world and its a beautiful song, Keith sing the first verse. Beggars Banquet is a black sheep in the late 1960's, completely against the tide, but kinda like a taste of what will happen in ther next decade, and it give us all that. Way more claimant, radical, bluesy and dark that all of their contemporary (a bit less radical but kinda like the velvet) with all that a very cool artwork make it a timeless reccord.

Its the first time i see an Doors album here, and i hope not the last, Morisson Hotel is one of the last Doors album that i discover and i absolutly love it. Its a more bluesy album than the others, with touch of RNB and the psychedelic rock that make them legend. Unfortunatly we start to hear the effet of years of alcool abuse on Jim's voice, even tho he still have a wonderfull voice, its more hoarse but i guess it fit their blues sound. The iconic cover was taken when they discover an hotel name Morrison and they find it funny, the tittle of the album completly came from that and its cool. This album is often view as a comeback altheway from Stranges days, especially criticaly, and its also view as on of their best at all, not sure to agree for me its clearly in the top 3. On the vinyl the two side are name Hard Rock Café and the other is name Morrison Hotel, the first have some blues rock songs like roadhouse blues, you make me real or Peace frog. The other as more slower song and a bit more RnB like Land Ho, indian summer or The Spy. The best song for me are the following: Accualy i'm not sure wich one i like the best there so many good songs not as famous as Peace Frog or Roadhouse blues but i will try Indian Summer: One of the most beautifull poem Jim ever written a soft, slow music sing beautifully by Morrison simply magnificent i'm really moved by this song. The song is also onw of the oldest they have written and reccorded but they only release it in 1970 on this album. Waiting for the Sun: The tittle track... of the previous album, in this album there is not epic song like in previous reccord, but this one is probably the closer. The Spy: Another strange love song about a possesif lover who spy the one he love, the spiritual father of every breath you take, but very passionate i like it. Peace frog: Another protest song, with Jim's lyrical genius he transport us in the boilling late 60's time with reference of one of his previous incarceration in New Heaven and one of his most traumatic events in his lifetime, when he saw dead indeginous after a car crash when he wass a child. Land Ho: I always feel it kinda detains from the rest of thoses songs, Land Ho is was the sailors would say they spot a land to coast and find it very entertaining with an happy vibe wich is not that frequent with the Doors Roadhouse Blues: The lead single and of of the most recognisable Doors Song with an iconic guitar riff and as always the jazzy drums of John densomore and the magic of Ray Organ the magic really happen on this song in particullar but mostly all the songs. Blue Sunday: I discover and strated to liek this track later than most of the album but a wonderfull poem by Jim simply Beautifull. Ship Of Fools: Another purely blues song, with still the Doors special touch, simply a cool song. You make me Real: You cannot go more blues than this song again just a cool song nothing so special but i like it. Queen of the highway: It was written for his longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson, i don't like it as much as the others Maggie M'Gill: This song never printed on me, like again i don't like it as much. So to conclude on this album, its not what you expect of the Doors if you know tjeir biggest hits, but its them we recognize them for sur, its a great album with decent and wonderfull songs. In the context (Morrison trial, his alcool consumtion and the bands cohension in decline) its very forgivable when you see the result. Again i just love the Doors in general and this album is one of my favorite of all times.

Wow i was waiting for this one, an album that i discover just last year and i became a truly jug fan of it. This album is a step a head of its time, especially on the lyrics side. Bowie initiate his Glam rock era with this album and help define his iconic sound. The album is lyricaly incredible and musicaly more oriented toward pop, with song more driven by piano thab guitar expect with Queen Bitch (the only purely rock song on the album) The cover is also very cool shown a travestite Bowie (inspired by Hollywood actress like Marlène Dietrich). The album is full of good and incredible songs here they are: Changes is simply on of the best Bowie song ever, the album start with this song and talk about reinvention a common ground in all Bowie compositions (reivente himself). Oh you pretty things is an tribute to hus brother who suffer from Schizofrenia and commit suicide. This song is piano driver and look like a britisg cabaret song Eight line poem is a simple poem with some piano note not very impactfull i think but anyway Life on Mars? Ok it will be complicated to do this because there is no words to descrive how good this song is, no doubts on of the best song by Bowie, lyricaly, musicaly, the video clip ect ect this musical hall rock is timeless. This song is accually a response or a parody of My Way by Sinatra, the simple guitar work and the climax at the chorus make it an epic song and Bowie look wonderfull in the clip filmed in 1973. Kooks seems strange to me because i didin’t know what it meant, and i discover it was written for his child whi was born the previus year, the song is cute not childish but just a father who love his chilf very very beautifull. Quicksand as some strange lyrical inspirations like occutilsm, bouddism, Aleister Crowley, Churchill ect. I’m not sure to understand the song that why i dont like it that much. Same for Fill your heart wich is a sin’ly viola and piano song not bad simply not that impactfull but very in the tone of the album. There is 3 songs in the album that where inspired by american icon that Bowie admire, This on e is about Andy Warhol, the song is accoustic and have a cool guitar riff by Mick Ronson. I enjoy it, but apparently Warhol didn’t. A Song for Bob Dylan is a tribute to Bod Dylan, he is not tryin to like parody him or do a pastiche but simply a good tribute to a musician he like. Queen Bitch, Bowie can do anything including doing a Velvet Underground song whitout the velvet Underground and while still being himself. This song is more than a tribute to his friend and inspiration Lou Reed, but a pastiche with provocative lyrics anf the spirit. The song is perhaps the only real 100% rock song on the album with one of my favorite guitar riff in Bowie carrer (inspired by Eddie Cochrane) this song is also a early taste of was Bowie’s glam rock will look like. The song is about a guy (Queen Bitch) hungry for sex, drag quens and escorts. The song combine the early punk attitude of Lou Reed but the melody of Glam rock, my favorite song in the album for that. The Bewlay Brothers, is difficult to break trough its meaning because it has not , appaently the lyrics mean nothing and althougt not a big fan of it, it still showing Bowie caracter and genius. This album Is on of the best in Bowie’s carrer, his more pop rock approche will define his song for the next years in his best musical era (Glam rock) and help him becoming a rock n roll god with Ziggy Stardust. This album have so much to offer its perhaps the best introduction to David Bowie. (I take the space here to tell that i have lut the album Ziggy stardust a 4/5 stars cause it was my first album when i start doing this, and i wasnt the crazy big Bowie fan that i im today i a truely regret it i would have put a F’N 5/5 stars to Ziggy Stradust)

Altough they came from my town of Montréal i never listen to them and in indie rock in general to be honnest

In the rock n roll history there is very few album that carry a name that repsrent so perfetcly what the album is. Raw Power is what the Stooges are, sound like and look like, with this 3rd and final album (they are all in the 1001 albums list) they struke even harder than the previous. This magnetic piece of rock and dirt was produced by no other than David Bowie, a very good friend of Stooge's frontman Iggy Pop. Bowie save Iggy's life as he was in a downfall due to his crippling heroin addiction, by 1972 he was nearly homeless. After FunHouse (wich is more experimental and brutal) they fired their bass player (ironicly) because of his alcool consumtion (he will die because of it coupple years later). The rest of the band (exept Ron the guitarist) have troubles with substances and the band more or less disbanded in 1971. Its thank to Bowie that they regroupe with the addition of James Williamson to take the guitar part and Ron will be in charge of the bass (wich was kind of a downgrade). So that's the context chaos, drugs and Bowie, now what the album look like. The cover is a shirtless Iggy pop (classic), with some makeup and a glimmy underware. The album is definitly proto-punk, probably the first real 100% punk album before it was called punk, jsut the brutal riffs, the raw lyrics, the on stage antics and the global nihilistic attidute. The album is also way more hard rock oriented that the previous wich were more garage rock like. The album, especially with the look of of the banmd at that point, the guitar playing of Williamson and the fact that it was procuded by Bowie himself make it sound a bit Glam Rock. For me the album have 3 very songs they are: The tittle track Raw Power, an goo choice for the album name because it represent so much what the Stooges and this album is. The song have a persitent, loud and roaring riff, a cow bell that remind uis of I wanna be your dog, and direct lyrics. This song is the definition of proto-punk so doubt. Search and destroy, this one is probably the most interesting, a wonderfull riff suposed to sound a bit like a machine gun, and this time more inspireing about the vietnam war with illusion and images of violence. This song is a masterpiece proably of the best 70's song wich was cover and have inspired many many artists and real anthem of protestation. Gimme Danger, an accoustic song, also of the best in their carrer, with a slower and more backgroung electric riff, with brutal lyrics. Shake Appeal, with a more hard rock kinda sound and more simple lyrics this look like a glam rock version of their first album, i very like this song. The rest of the album is composed of: Your pretty face is going to hell, i like the riff on this one and Iggy hoarse voice and the tittle is cool and dirty lyrics that we are used to by now. Penetration have probably the simplest lyrics in the album, the song have a simple piano patern that strangely remind me of like Riders on the storms by the Doors or a text messasge alarm but with agressive riff and straight foward lyrics I need Somebody also contain accousitc guitar and Iggy's magnetic voice is really amplified by this. the song is pretty simple but still good Death Trip is the final song on the album nothing so particular about this one, straight forward lyrics, agressive riff its good but not as impactfull as other songs. Songs from this album have been coverd so many time my favorite are: Raw Power by Guns N'Roses and Search and destroy by RHCP. And countelss other artist have been inspired by this album, like Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Johnny Marr (Smiths), RHCP, Kurt Cobain, Nikki Sixx, Def Leppard, Dead Boys, the New York Dolls, the Ramones ect ect. Is safe to say that without the Stooges and this particular album, punk rock would be as great and rock n roll would have never been the same, for its huge influence and incredible tracks this album earn better than a lot of other reccord its place here.

Never got into kendrirck lamar and that proably a good thing

More than a feeling is a great hard rock song, the riff that blow us up and the powerfull chorus is truly magneficent. Its the most famous song from the album, wich was a huge huge sucess, because of the hard rock sound and the sound perfecltly fit arena and big concert. Rock And Roll Band is pretty good The organ in Smokin' remind me of Highway star and that's a good thing There is a coupple of accoustic song like: Hitch a ride, Peace of Mind or Let me take home tonight The album is gloabbly a mix between Machine Heads of Deep Purple and Sheer heart attack by Queen, like hard rocking song, epic solos and some accoustic part more chorus singing. I feel the album is a bit overtated and make to be radio hits, and that not a bad thing in whole, especially here the songs are good, not as great as other Hard Rock artist but in the mighty 70's rock they have their place

This album so infamous, but maybe more because of Bowie's enormous cocaine use during the making that the album in itself Nevertheless the album have some great tunes Station to station the title track introduced us to The Thin White duke an aryan like caracter inspired by an persona that Bowie play in a movie called the man who fell to earth (the album cover is a photo from the movie). The music is cool, kinda experimental and progressive with ocutilsm and drugs references Then Golden Years is a 100% soul track, like evereything is cool about this song, Bowie's voice, the chorus, the back vocals, the instrumentals ect. World on a wings, Stay and Wild is the Wings (a cover of Johnny Mathis) are the other songs that i enjoy but not found them as good as the others (wich are simply incredible) TVC-15 is known from his perfomence at the live aid in 1985 wich he oppen with, but the version in the album is so cool too. Like the lyrics make no senss, they are inspired by a dream/drug hallucination by Iggy Pop that his girlfriend was being swallowed by the TV. This is the hidden gem of the reccord the music make the lyrics even funier and nearly comprehensive. Again the cocaine is a important composure of this album lore, first Bowie dind't recall any of the reccording because he was stoned all the times, the songs were probably all written and reccorded in a drug frenzy, but still the album managed to be more than good. His way to used art rock with soul and disco influences really sounded good and probably show how much he has to offer. Bowie's magic talent is to reinvented himself and he would changes musical direction after that album droping the Thin White Duke and cocaine.

This album is (one) of the biggest turning point in his carrer, because he not only change his look, but he completly change musicale direction from Glam Rock to soul. The album is self describe by Bowie as plastic soul wich mean soul but whitout a real autenticity as the music genra is more associated with black peoples. Young americans is the title track, it talk about american society with a lot of pop culture reference and show the way to the rest of the album the song being influenced by philadelphia soul. Another terms associated with the album is blue-eyed soul, wich mean Soul perfomed by a white artist Win is very gospel influenced and classical RnB. Fascination have more of a funky sound Right is also a Soul and Funky track, very reoetitie but very groovy and fun Somebody up there like have a saxophone intro and contain lyrics about a futurisitc super hero, almost a messiah (a mix between diamonds dogs and Ziggy Stardust). Across the universe is a cover by the Beatles, with off course a more soul musical aproche, but John Lennon contributed to the album with more than just the writing credit he also play the guitare on this song. I honnestly like more the Beatles version but its always cool to see a Beatles cover especially by Bowie. Can you hear me is another soul song, but i don't find anything special with it. Fame is THE best song of the album by a mille, co-written with John Lennon, with incredible lyrics and musical direction its clearly the best used of funk and soul in the album. The lyrics about stardom and disapointement with his famous status with the incredible funky groove is just magical, and its his first top 1 hit in the US, kinda ironic. The album explore various music genra, primaly black music and i really like it, we still feel David Bowie's talent all over the place, his presence is as important as the music in itself and its enjoyable. The album gave Bowie his breaktorugh in america, it give us incredible songs, it gave Bowie the proof he can do everything and it gave blakc music a major push by a established white artist, and probably help the genra becoming mainstream at the time. But i don't think its one of the best Bowie's album, his peak in music was in the 70's and this album have a lot of good points, but is a bit sterile compared to album like Diamonds dogs, heroes, Aladine Sane, Hunky Dory or Ziggy Stardust.

I've heard of this album many times, cause it is an essential composure of the hippie sound track, the summer of love and the San Franscisco sound. Lead by the acid queen herself Grace Slick one of the best female frontman of all times. Beside two songs: Somebody to love and Whte rabbit i havent listen to the others songs. The song aree mainly about the classical psychedelic thems: drugs experimentation, critics of the american society, love and fantasy. Musicaly its show onfluences from the undegrorund osycxehdelic scene they were comminbg from, but also more mainstream pop rock act like the Beatles and folk rock/psychedlic us artists like the Byrds or the Mamas and the papas. My Best friend really could have been a 60's british invasion song White rabbit is my favoriute, with a clear allusion to Alice in wonderland and proably a psycehdelic dream/drug, the music and the way the song is tell is purely magic. How do you feel is also pop influenced but still with the psuchedelic instruments and vocals harmony like the Byrds. Embrionyc Journey is an instrumental track, with a cool folk guitar work. The others are a bit forgetable to be honnest I understand why this album is influencial, but there is a reason why we remerber the Doors, Jimi Hendrix or pets sounds, is the depth of those album, and this one lack even compare to the Byrds so its not bad but not as impactfull as i would tought

Tf is that... Its like the 80's verision of Velvet Underground White Light/White Heat With a noise rock, strange lyrics and all Pretty Fucked up but its underground, its punk so its influencial. I really dont know what to think about it

Produced by David Bowie, Mick Ronson and performed by Lou Reed this album is good witouth even the need to listen to it. This the breaktrough album by former Velvet underground: Lou Reed, the album was more mainstream, sound a lot like Ziggy Stardust (with still his own originalities) but still managed to keep the streetwise attitude of the velvet. The album is clearly one of the bets Glam rock album ever made, with an iconic cover, iconic songs and trangressive lyrics. The songs are all pretty good they are: Vicious wich is the openner, with a cool riff, not very complicated lyrics, (not sure what this is about) and one of my favorite on the album Andy's chest is a reference to an assasination attempt on his mentor Andy Warhol wich produced the first Velvet Underground album and its globaly a tribute to him. Its a more pop oriented song Then... Perfect Day, wich is simply a Perfect song, a soft, smooth piano driven song, with violins and all, talking about a beautifull day in central park with his fiancé and then one of the most stunning, wonderfull and beautifull chorus of all time, a truly magic love song. But the lyrics "you keep me hagning on" mighty be an allusion to what a perfect day for Lou Reed look like, an day where he shhoting up heroin, wich he was addicted at the time. But this might not be true, because he was always very straighforwarrd when he was talking about drugs in his songs (Heroin, White Light, Run Run Run ect) but i guess we could interpreting it as that if we want. Hangin' round is also a vry good song, i consired it to be a great exemple of how glam rock influenced punk rock, a fats tempo riff, i'm not sure what this is about, apparently its a way to mock or make fun of people at the Warhol's factory. Walk on The Wild Side is by far the best known Lou Reed songs, and the main reason why this album is so legendary, every aspects of this songs explain it. The lyrics are the best part of this song, straightforward, provocative, trangressive, avant-garde, the song is a description of several real individuals who were hangin' round at the factoty. They were the Warhol's superstars, he mentioned 3 transgenders actress Jackie, Holly and Candy, describeing a bit where they were from and what they do now (doing drugs, travestite themself, giving heads ect.) the song also refer to Joe Dallesanderoa bi sexual actor, discover at the factory and a sex symbol for the gay community. Also another actror Joe Campbell (sugar plum Fairy) Anyway the song is about those people, and the wild side of New York underground scene, with drugs, various sexual expression (Lou Reed was himself Queer), prostituion ect. The music is so recognisable with the chorus (referencing to motown 60's girl bands) and the saxophone outro. This song was a commercial sucess, but has such a rich history and legacy, so a head of its time, such a brilliant look on the vibrant city of New York. Make Up also have lyrics about trasvestite and gay experiences, its about a gay man having sex with a drag queen and about comming out as a gay all with a tuba driven beat. Its about enjoying his gay/queer lifestyle that was so repressed and marginalise at the time. Satelite of Love is an cool little paino love song, with Bowie backing vocals, the referenc to Mars, and space might be an allusion to David Bowie Ziggy Stardust persona. Lou Reed said the song is about the worst kind of jealousy and the moon landing. Wagon Wheel have a real cool musicality, almost like a T.rex song, also dont know what this is about but i like it New York Telephone conversation is strange, look like a kid song, i dont really undertand so i don't know what to think about it. I'm so Free is cool too, and its proably about drugs, so the song might be inronic like i'm so free i could what ever i want, but he hook on heroin and he cannot free himself but he did not see it. The guitar work on the song is very cool, great job by Ronson. Goodnight Ladies is another tuba driven song, a bit silly i guess not sure what to think about it. Anyway this album have a lot to offer, but mainly we can all agree that this album is a love letter to his city of New York, the downsides, the drugs, the vices, the underground scene, the burgeoning gay community ect. A true portaial of the city, kinda like the New York Dolls but with a softer music, but with way more provocative lyrics. A mix between the velvet steetwise attitude and the english glam rock make this album a perfect journey.

The album have good song, but none is better than The One I Love, this song is just so good, in every way, it is one the same veins as the albums, but it is significatly better i think. Musicaly this is some alternative rock, jangle pop, a bit like an american version of the Smiths, and this is a good thing. The album as a brighter side than the Smiths tho, more fun and with a cool vibe. Welcome to the occupation was one song that i enjoy, disturbance at the heron house too. Fireplace and kings of birds have very cool musicality and vocals performances Other than that i didn't find the album so cool or thta have struke me very hard, like i did not love it but i dont hate it either. But to be honnest The One i Love really ring the total up for me.

The first time i listen to this album, it was during a car ride to New York with my family and i was already a big Beatles fan, but then i ear this album one shot, who work as a whole and i was simply blown away. This is widely consider as The best album ever made, the one with the greatest influence on music, on society and the creatiuve peak of the fab four. This album is the crown jewel of 1967 (the best musical year of all time) realease arounf the middle of the year. Before even listen to it, we have to look at it, because this colourfull album artowrk is also probably one of the best (The Best i think) album cover of all times. So much details, colours, references, just showing the musical influences of the Beatles, or in this case the Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band. We could see Aleister Crowley, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Edgar Allan Poe, Marlene Dietrich, Karl Marx, the 1964 Beatles and so much more. The little doll at the right is also interitweing as it show a message to the Rollings Stones (welcome the Rollings Stones). All of this resulted in the most beautifull album artwork of all times, in itself is an art piece. The album is also known for its various inovation in rock/pop music, as the Beatles drew musical inspiration from the undeground psychedelic scene, musical hall and avant-garde. But also contemporary music act such as the Beachs Boys album Pets sounds, or The Doors, and also non musical influences such as drugs like LSD and pot wich are really inseparable from the album. An George bring a lot from oriental music, to the point of wrtitng a whole song in indian music. The reccording procces on its own is something special, brining so much inovation, new instruments, and technique, but really the Beatles song engernieer and producer gave their 200% on this album and deserve more recognition for this thing. Then the album is consider as one of the first art rock/ concept album of all time, the concept mainly inspired by Mccartney is that the band no longer exist and that they just became another band the Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band (the name is onspired by some american band name like big brother and the holding company). The title track and the openning of the album is the eponymne Sgt peppers lonely herats club band, a song that break the fourth wall with the audience, introduing the band and their leader Billy Shears,. The song is harder than most beatles song, with a powerfull guitar riff, orchestra, french horn and crowd sounds. Simply great. Then Billy Shears (ringo Starr ) sing the "first song" Witha little help from my friends, one of the best song by Ringo in The Beatles, John and Paul ad written it for him, and its a response song between Ringo and the three other guys with a message for hapiness and friendship. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD), even tho this theory is widely accept it was always denied by John and i honnestly belived him, but when you listen to the lyrics its hard to say that this as no psychedelic influences, the song (inspired by a drawing that julian lennon did) could also being a wrierd dream like in alice in wonderland or a LSD trip. Even tho the title is not a reference to LSD the lyrics and the musicality of the song clearly are and definitly make the most iconic song of the album. Getting better the first Paul's Leading vocals on the album, is a pretty normal song, optimistic and happy feeling. The song also have a reference to John bad habbit with womens (i used to be cruel to my woman) an ackoledgement of his actions. Overall its a good song, fit perflectly well in the album I simply adore Fixing a Hole, the music is very baroque influenced, with psychedelic lyrics about mind, wondering and creativity. Mcartney said this is a Ode to Pot (and not heroin as some might say), and was written under the influence of acid, and is simply perferct for the album. She's leaving home is a exemple of the Beatles having more lyricaly complex songs, not just about love and girls but this time about a teenage runaway, alienation, loneliness. The orchestra is just beautifull on the song, with the violons, viola, piano and of course Lennon's backing vocals haromy add that little thing that make it wonderfull. If the Beatles make psychedelic circus music, its off course gonna be a incredible song, from the verses ot the chorus and the musical bridge the song is genius. The lyrics describe an old fashioned circus show, inspired by a poster of a circus from the 19th century. Being the benefit of mr Kite is using a lot of instruments that all make sense and working to push the song higher. Within or Whitout you really was impactfull for me the first time i ear it, i was living it and i had a revelation cause i was enjoying it so much. This song is the soul of the album, Harisson nail it so much its definitly one of its best song, a perfect introduction to oriental music for the west audience. The profoundly introspective and spiritual lyrics with the music make us feel like in a dream or a hindu temple lost in the jungle its imposible to not being inspired by this song agaisnt materialism and for inner peace. The way the music is made just transend our mind, the traditional indian instruments, the structures and the sitar solo add in more of introspection and magnificence to it. Its a totaly different ambience with when i'm sixty for, with this time a Vaudeville influence almost a cabaret song, Mccartney had written it when he was 14 apparently. A proof that they could do anything and it just fit in poerfeclty with the album, the lyrics are about growing old with a very affectionate look at it. Lovely Rita is a meter maid that have give a ticket to Paul and he decide to accept it an wrote a song about her, another musical hall approch with very psychedelic musicly too. The song is kinda overlook but for me is one of the best in the album, like the title the song is just lovely and joyfull. Good Moring Good Morning is the only thing i dislike in the album, it just a pretty bad song (for this album standard), even John dislike it. Then the "closer" Sgt peppers pt 2, with another hard guitar riff, with the band saying goodbye to the audience and its a perfect to close the album. Exepct that this is not the real closer, immidiatly after like an encore, a accousitc guitar play and a piano embark and one of the most beautiufull song ever made start. The lyrics are about john who read a journal, and he read that his friend (Tara Browne) have died in a car accident, and he make a promotion for a movie he made (How i won the war). Then a bridge that is complytely another song by Paul is just about a ugy who smoke pot, before that the i'd love to turn you one is probaly another refrence to drugs. The other part of the John song talk about the many hole in the roads of britan, so much that it could fit the royal albert hall (that the Beatles play a coupple years ago). But this song is not just brilliant for the lyrics, the music is made from heaven, the song have an orchestra creshendo that they play as hard as they can until the peak and then the finale, is complexe but this is pure genius. Then the song close with an dog whistle and a backwards message, anyway the song is consider one of the best by the Beatles, the most magestic and the most grandiose and i agree. This album could have been even better, because Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were suposed to be included on the album, but they were release as single, those song are some of the best ever made by the band, so just image what this album could have been. Saying that this album is ahead of its time is an understatement, i can't describe it all in just a few words but from the look, the production, the instruments and the spirit everythings is great, perfect and have make sense. To finnish, they is so much more to say, but i dont want to get lost, so this album have change music for the best, was a huge commerical success (32 millions sales), have revolutionalize the way of making music and its one the most important album in my life. This album should not even be on this list because it so obvious how good it is, this is it, the king of all albums and the Jewel of The Beatles musical crown.

This album is an unavoidable from the 80's, everything is there, crazy guitare solo, ballads, synthtizer ect. First of all this album is a soundtrack and i have never seen the movie, so maybe its even better with it. For me this album is only two songs: When Doves Cry and Lets go Crazy, so for me its a discover. Here are all the songs i really like: The introduction of the album is Lets Go crazy with its message at the beggening and its iconic riff that just made you wanna jump, with on of the best outro of all times, the guitare solo by Prince is incredible, clearly one of the best song on the album. Take me With U, is purely beautifull, in duet with the females vocalist (Appolina and Jill Jones) it almost feel like a christmas song and i enjoy it very much. The album take is depth and magic from all the music genra he drew inspirations, Soul and new age on Beautiful ones, psychedelic on Take me with U, Gospel on Purple rain, Soul on When doves cry, Hard Rock on Darling Nikki and that is the case for all the songs. The is no main genra, and i think that's the force of the album, but we could cited RnB, funk, pop-rock, all of that with the massive use (brilliantly in this case) of synthsizer. Prince show all is versatility and richness, Prince play a lot of instruments on the album, not just vocals and guitare but also drums, almost all the synth, piano, bass ect. And he have written all the songs Darling Nikki as such a powerfull raw and sexy energy, its about sex, seduction and Masturbation, with a backward lyrics at the end, very strange song but gosh i like it very much. When Doves Cry is why i know Prince at the beggening, the first i discover from him, and by far the best on the album, the main element here, is the chorus with the piano note that represent dove cryin is simply magnetic. The lyrics about his relationship with his parent are so well sing, screaming and written literaly everything about this song is perfect. The outro is a good as the one from the first song and that hard to beat. I would Die For You have the most classicasl 80's syntheziser sound i think, i enjoy it too. Purple Rain the slowest song on the album, such a beautifull song, everything especially the music and the way the song is sing just make you melt. I do think the song is too long, like the 5 minutes instrumental is cool but a bit long, but again maybe i fit well in the movie so i dont know. Even tho you haven't seen the movie this album just capture a magic musical moment, Prince was on the top of the world after that and it is well deserve. Every song on the album are enjoyable, some more than other (Take Me With U, Lets Go Crazy, When Doves Cry) but in general that how the album feel a very magnetic sexy, fun and magic energy.

The infamous Glam Punk band, criminaly underatted and undeapreciate, i'm accually suprised to see one of their album here. It started with a accoutisc oppening with river and bird songs, absoluttly not preparing us for the rest, but still kinda funny. It then go with the powerfull riff of Malibu Beach Nightmare. some songs are very good, others forgettable, The best songs are: Malibu Beach Nightmare, Mental Beat, Lick Summer Love, Betting getting faster, Ice Cream Summer and Back to Mystery City. But honneslty the songs all have some cool intro, riffs and Mike Monroe always give a hell of a good vocals job. The songs are bluesy, metal, rock and punk, sometimes all at once, showing their vats music skills and influences of others bands like New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, english glam Rock (Bowie, T.Rex, Roxy Music), The Sex Pistols or more classical rock band like the Stones or Aerosmith. In addition of their songs, they have an authenticity, a street wise glam punk attitude and way of telling their songsd, that is more than just the girls and party vibe of others Glam bands (that i also like but i more authentic here). Micheal Monroe is one of the best frontman in rock, vclarly in that period of time, because all thoses band kinda immitte him. Their songs just genuily feels real and still got that good vibe of others glam band, its a shamed theyr never get big. The influenced Hanoi Rocks have, with this album and all their others, is significant, especially when you look at all the american Glam Metal scene (Especially in the Sunset Strip) its undiable, from their songs, to their attitude and their look. Huge band have praised them, Guns N' Roses in particular, memebrs have often said good things about Hanoi Rocks an sayin how much they have influence them. The list of bands is long, Ratt, Alices In Chains, Poison, LA Guns, Skid Row, Foo Fighters, Mötley Crüe and even Def Leppard. To conclude the album is very good, i dont know if its the best album of Hanoi Rocks cause i dind't listen to all of them, but this one is one of the best 80's Glam Metal album i have heard, because of the attitude, the feeling and the music. But we have to regognise their influences, but some songs are not very good, a bit repetitive and it almost feel like some songs were not at maximum potential. Anyway love it.

This album was huge at the time, with their first album Oasis launch not only their commercial success, but also a phenomenon know as Oasismania, showing how much they were huge from the beggening in their home country. This album was a massive critical sucess too, widely consider as one of their best, so no suprise its here, and i have almost never listen to it. I always like the cover, inspired by a Beatles backcover and its just poerfect, the coulour, the way the band are dressed and place it work as a charm. So this album is the started of Oasis, and a major breaktroughb for a british kind of alternative rock know as britpop, and for the rst of thei album Oasis (especially Noel Gallagher) would have a recepe for their songs. This recepe is particulari obvious on this album, a provocative and bad boys attitude offstage, simple but catchy melody and universal chorus. The album mixed a lot of ol' school british rock influences from the classical pop rock like The Beatles (probabbly the most obvious one), but also psychedelic rock (also from the Beatles in 1966-1967), Glam rock (Like T.rex from wich they borrow their most famous riff) and punk rock. Noel said their is only three songs in wich he accually say somethings, Rock N Roll Star, Live Forever ,Cigarettes and Alchool, so a bit of a down side is that the song look a bit alike, lyrically and a bit musicaly, but not in a so shocking way. even tho they might not be so complicated, deep sojng, they are very good, Rock N Roll Star is about espcaping a boring life with rock n roll excess i guess, very good riff and chorus as always, lyricaly it look kinda like Star by David Bowie. Shakermaker is a bit slower but i like the messy guiatar work (pretty common in Oasis songs in this album) Live Forever is a response to american Grunge (Especially Kurt Cobain) who have song about darkness of life or suicide, the song have one of the best solo on the album and the powerfull and hopefull chorus make it a great song, and their first real massive sucess. The music viedo pay tribute to their idol like John Lennon, Marc Bolan, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious ect. Up in the sky is supposed to be a timeless classic rock n roll song, its a good song but maybe not timeless, the angry lyrics contrast well with the more happier sound of the song. Columbia for me show their apreciation of the 60's psychedelic sounds, apparently they have written the song on acid, and i think it was for the best. Supersonic is not very original but still pretty good, a classical Oasis song nothing more or less. Cigarettes And Alchool for me is the best song on the album, because it show us the real side of Oasis sex drugs and rock n roll, with the main riff borrow from T.Rex hit Get it On, but messier and dirtier with the sleazy and rough lyrics proably the most accurate song of their lifestyle and that why i like it so much. The three last song (except Cigarettes and Alchool) are much liek supersonic, really pure Oasis songs, but not that much interesting. Married with children is the only accoutic song on the album and close it all, bring an interesting contrast with the rest of the reccord, i enjoy it. Oasis is of course mainly the two brother, Noel the songwritten and guitarist that come up with magical catchy riff and song and Liam sing it with a particular energy that only him have. Anyway the Gallagher brother really are Oasis heart and soul, even tho all the members did and incredible job.

This album is the defenition of Britpop, a great album by Oasis, following their sucess with their first album, they done it again, just better in any forms. The album strat with Hello wich fake strat with Wonderall and then fade away and became the real song, pretty funny. Roll With It is a harder sounding song, with catchy chorus and destined for stadium rock, the song launch the Battle of Britpop with Blur. Then one of the greatest song of the 90's start to play, an accoutsrtic riff and a vereses that literally anybody knows, and i mean it. Probably on of the most beautifful song known to man, about relashopship between Noel And Liam. Speaking of him Liam did probaly one of his best vocal performances. That song is the reason why so many peopke know Oasis, and its so easy to understand why, Catchy lyrics and riff, beautifull melody and literaly magical vibe to it. Don't Look Back in Anger is maybe the Most Oasis-like song of Oasis, following step by step the Noel Gallagher recepe, Sleaxy guitare sound, powerfull and catchy chorus (i think he really surpassed himself). Plus Noel himself sing the song, and i think he nailed it, he voice might not be as recognisablke as Liam's but it is still a very beautifull voice. The solo on the song is my personal favorite of Oasis. The song is inspired by a John Lenon tape that Noel aquire further showing their respect and admiration for the Beatles. Hey Now! is pretty good, a but of a down compared to the three last song, but still, very decent rock song. Some might Say open with a riff that seem to alude with Get It On (the riff that they borrow also for Cigarettes and Alchool). With hopefull lyrics, and distored riff but very melodic the song is another classical Oasis song, very good. Cast No shadow is a tribute to their friend Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft, the song have as always very cool and beautifull melodies. She's electric have a very 60's like sounds, almost like a Beatles (like in Abbey Road) or a Kink song, as always very ngood and catchy. Morning Glory lyrics refer both to cocaine and the Beatles wich is pretty cool, have on of the hardest riff on the album, but still a incredible chorus and Liam Kill it again. The album Close with Champagne Supernova, a psychedelic ballad, about love drugs and nothing very clear, but it really mesmeried us, so beautifull what a wonderfull way to close the album. The guiatre here is perfect nothing else to say, the lyrics dind't seem to mean nothing but it ok 'cause its Oasis. I felt a but repetitive in the way i describe the song, but they are pretty much diffreent in the music but yet very similar in the meaning or the structure, i could be a flaw but Oasis have make this their signature so i don't mind it. So much classic and good song on the album, no wonder why it was so sucessfull, more than 20 millions sales, in my mind there is no doubt who won the battle of Britpop.

Fucked up funky music, but not bad, but not my cup of tea either

Fuck Kanye

Lust for Life open with Lust for Life, his best known solo track, and by far the best on the album, produced by Bowie during their infamous Berlin era in 1977. The influence of Bowie is enormus on the album, he play several instruments, produced it, and written 6 out of 9 songs. Lust For Life, with his up beat tempo, iconic riff and lyrics about drugs and luxury. TBH sixteen is not very good i think Some Wierd Sin is ok but also not that good The Passenger is also a very known track by Iggy Pop, with the also icnonic guitare riff, apparently inspired by a Jim Morrison poem, Morrison is a big inspiration for Iggy's stage persona. Its a good song. Tonight is a song that Bowie would later do with Tina Turner, its about a girl who OD on Heroin, a drug that Iggy was terribely addicted a few years prior. Its pretty good, i like the Bowie's back vocals Success is also a pretty mid song i think, not that bad musically, but i dont very like Iggy's vocal work here. Turn Blue is another drug song with pretty obvius reference to heroin, probably a lot self explenatory and inspired by his own crippling heroin addiction, the song is ok. The last two songs are not pretty good either Tbh i’m a bit disappointed by this album, but its not terrible just not my kind, even tho it has some qualities

McCartney is the first solo album by Paul, just weeks before their last album Let It Be was release, wich create some beef with others members. The album was recorded with Linda in a scottish ranch, very mininalistic, with only the two playing all the instruments. All the songs could be consider folk rock i think, but the minimalistic effect really stand out and some are completely instrumental or have 1 sentences like Hit Like Sun Glasse, valentine day, Singalong Junk and Kreen-Akore wich were moslty improvised. Maybe I’m amaze is the song that stand out the most, one of McCartney most known solo songs, and with the piano driven riff, back vocals and beautiful lyrics is a very good song. Other good songs: Teddy Bear, That Would Be Something, Man We Was Lonely and The Lovely Linda. The songs are moslty very short, and not that impactfull but the whole make something very cool. Mam We Was Lonely is probably the most Beatles-Like of them all, like fr the White Album, so of course i like it. The album really feel Paul and Linda, and the space in wich they concived the album is also very important, it dosen’t feel like a Beatles album or just a way to surf on their success just a cool simple album with his wife in a far away ranch.

Primaraly known for Tiny Dancer, a truly beautiful piano driven song, sad and fill melencoly, a part from that i dont lnow any other songs, Levon feel like it is the little brother of Tiny Dancer The album is considred Prog Rock but i’m not sure why, way more pop Rock for me This album mark the beggening of Elton John massive sucess, honneslty it has good songs, but not very impactfull and very « original » in the sense that it just fell like every Elton John album

I discoverd the Pretenders after watching the Pistol mini-series, and even tho i havent listen a lot to them i notice them and the Song Brass In Pocket became for me a wonderfull song. Chrissie Hynde is probably on the best roxk frontwoman, and a criminaly underated singer (all genders) she also had a very fasinating story, with the Sex Pistol and all. The album feel Punk Rock, but also new Wave, wich is mostly punk that can go on mainstream radio. Precious is a pure punk rock song, brutal riff, agressive lyrics and hard core drumming. The Phone Call is a very short song nothing much to say, cool riff Up The Neck have a very good intro riff, more Blondie Inspired i guess, she sound a bit like Debby Harry sometimes but a bit rauchier Stop your sobbing could almost look like a Beatles Song of course with the Punk vibe but still, very good song Kid is more like a ballad, and also sound a it like the 60’s rock (The Beatles) very good song, one of the best in the album. Brass In Pocket is their best song, overall, just so iconic riff, very great vocal performance and lyrics more mainstream new wave aproche but still perfect. The others song are not bad but simply not so much impactfull The debut album was a commercial success, and it is totally deserved, the album is the best new wave albun i have heard and really show the talent of the band, with Chrissie Hynde a the front (love her)

The goal of this album is the be the Rock version of Micheal Jackson's Thriller, even tho the sales does not compare to Thriller, the album was a smashing sucess, with more than 20 millions sales. A real arena rock sound with Glam style and musicality, a album perfectly in his time and by one of the biggest band of the time. Their is few good songs, but for me the majority are a bit too soft/not original In the good song we have: Rocket is pretty cool lyric wise, because it reference the biggest influences on the band, like David Bowie, The Beatles and Queen. Armageddon It have a very cool vibe, i like the song Don't shoot shot gun also sounded very cool, pretty ACDC like. Hysteria is the essential power ballad in every glam metal album, honneslty a very powerfull and good song, i liked a lot the guitare part on it. Probably on of the best track on the album. But for me the masterpiece is definitly pour some sugar on me, probably the hardest track and lyrics, just so rock n roll and cool, with Elliot's magic voice its simply perfect. The big big factor on the albu, is really Joe elliot voice that just transedent every song, esepeically Pour some sugar on me. also the drummer only play with on arm, wich make the songs even more impressive, so big S/O to Rick Allen. So the album have everything to succed and it did, i honnestly think that a lot of the songs are forgettable, and the album is not as authentic or powerfull as other band like Motley Crue or Guns n Rose.

I've always have a bit of admiration for old school hip hop, but i never haerd the music of LLcoolJ, a guy that i discovber not musically but in the crime serie NCIS Los Angeles. The songs that i like: The boomin' system is very groovy and rythmy, prefect intro to the guy. Around the way girl, the sample on it and the RnB sound is so chill and cool. Cheesy Rat Blues also bennefit for, his incredible flow. Mama said knock you out is the title track and one of his most famous, honnestly its not better than other song, but the verses, the sample and the chorus is peak so yeah it deserved the title track. Illegal search also benefit from cool lyrics, flow and sample. LLCoolJ have a solid flow, could be agressive and provocative, could be very lover and smooth, very mainstream in the form but still pretty obvououssly from the street it came from and that why its so good.

This album is a masterpiece, and that masterpiece is often consider as the first 100% punk rock album, and i agree with that. This album is so influenatial and important it is really the ground zero of punk, and will establish the Ramone recipe: -Fast (i mean ultra fast song) -Agressive riffs -Brutal/cut the crap lyrics -Leather jacket and jeans Even the cover is consdier as one of the best of all times, simple but iconic The song are all very fast, around 2 minutes, sometimes less, the longest song is 2.35 min (I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement) Bliztkrieg Bop is the first song, their best song, most well known and most iconic with the world famous "hey ho lets go", about kids going to a rock concert, with allusion to WW2. Beat on the brat is a song about rich kids in Queens New York where the band grew up. Judy Is a Punk by Joey, have a funny structure with a kind off naration "Second verse same as the first/Thrid verse different from the first", talka bout two rebel kids in San Francisco and Berlin. I wanna be your Boyfriend is proabbly my favorite from the album, it have the slowest tempo of all the album, its a love song pretty simple but efficient. Its a tribvute to the 60's love song and a responses to the fact that they all have negative songs. Chain Saw really is the perfect opposite to the previous song, with the fastest tempo and is about horror movies that the band like very much (1974 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre). Now i wanna sniff some glue is pretty straight forwarrd only 4 sentences, about Dee Dee own experienc e with sniffing clue when he was young. Strange for the topic but its on of their only song with I wanna be Your Boyfriend at the time with a positive title (Now I wanna), because most of their song start with (i dont ) I don't wanna go to the basement only have three sentence and is also about horror movies. Loudmouth is also a very very fast song, wioth few sentences, not the best on the album or the most original havana Affair is inspired by a comic spy, not my favorite riff on the album Listen to my Heart is an ironic love song 53rd and 3rd is one of the saddest song on the album, with a hard rockin' riff, is a very personal song by Dee Dee about his own experience of street prostitutions when he was younger to pay for his drug addiction. He expetioantion sing a part of the song where he explain to kill someone to prove he is not gay (fictional i guess). Lets Dance is the only cover on the album I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You the simplest song on the album, 1 sentence (the title) with back vocals and that it. Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World is about nazism and ww2, proably echoing the fact that Dee Dee grew up in Germany and collect nazi memrobillia. Everything is to praise, the riff are just brutal the lyrics are direct no bullshit, Dee Dee is credited on 9 of the 14 songs, and have written some of the best TBH. Joey is credited on 3 songs and Tommy have written most of Bliztkrieg Bop and I wanna be your Boyfriend. The album is so quick to listen only 29 minutes for 14 songs and the music is also perfect Dee Dee and Johnny work perfectly toghether the drums is solid and Joey voice is a big part of their identity being so unique and recognisable. This album have ispired coutnless bands, music style, have created punk and his still relevant and i like it so much.

Obviously this albumn is gonna be here, pretty often consider as one of the best album of all times. The Smiths here perfectly manage their status at the times, with a veryu controversial album (Meat is Murder) an take that hype to create a more pop oriented album but still very outsiuder and provocative. The iconic cover is a picture of Alain Delon in a movie called L'insoumis, and i think its their best cover. The album started with the title track The Queen is Dead and is an anti-monarchy song wich was pretty controversial at the time, On this song, the drums is really the cornerstone of the song in my opinion. Frankly Mr Shantly is pretty different of the other track, with a happier sounding musicality, but honnestly i dont really like it. I know its over is another constrats with the previcous track, more slow and about loneliness and desperation. pretty good No on ad no on ever show the Smiths at their best, when they are sad and desperate. Cemetery Gates, despite its title is pretty happier, again the smithsd are not always good when the songs are happier, but its not bad either. Bigmouth Strike again is also pretty up beat and have pretty cool lyrics The boy with the thorn on his side is a prefect Smiths song for me, and up beat riff, lyrics about loneliness, despaeration or desire for love in this case, with a very long title. On of the best on the album, apparently on of Morrissey's favorite. Vicar is a Tutu is an enjoyable track, happier with lighter lyrics wich is not always good for them, but in this case is pretty good. Even tho i'm not sure what the song is about. There is a light that never goes out, is another perfect Smith song, for the same reason, but time time its just their bes of all their discography i think this song is their best. Just of the chorus, Johnny Marr Guitare and Morrissey voice is so great, a song about and love and death and depression is just exaclty what the smiths are. Some Girls Are Bigger than other is my favorite on the album, just sarcasm/humour in the Smiths manner, the riff is the bets on the album. I alwats like the fade effect in the intro, i don't know why but i like it. I think the song mock the mans way to percived woman in all of history. This album is mostly due to the genius of Morrisey and Johnny Marr song writting, and his voice and the other guiate make it a truly unique album.

The album open straight up with "Hanging on the Telephone" wich is a cover but wonderfully executed by Blondie (the riff, the chorus and Debby's voice just perfect). And then it goes on to "One way or Another" wich is a way more punk rock song, with Debby's voice being more rauching. I enjoy it Other good song included: Pretty Baby, Picture This, Sunday Girl and Just go away. Finally the most well known song is probably the disco influenced "Heart of Glass". Once again the music in ultra groovy and wonderfull but once again Debby Harry's voice is over the top great. The song was a #1 hit in the US and probaly contributed to place New wave into the mainstream. This album proove that Blondie will be nothing witouth Debby Harry, the ultimate frontwoman. So the album is still pretty close to their root in the New York downtown Punk Sceen, but they were never categorised as ounk, but as New Wave, wich is Punk music that could go on the radio and its probably a reason why this album was such a sucess.

This album is behond good, great or legendary, for me this is the peak of music by on of the best band of all times. The Doors are on of the coolest and interesting band of the 60's with their very unique sound (organ and jazz style drumming and Robbie Krieger guitare style), their imensly charismatic and enigmatic lead singer Jim Morrison and his lyrics that magnify all of this. Its also a crime to not mention what make this band so special, the organ sound by a truly underatted music genius, Mr Ray Manzarek. John Densmore drumming is essential to all the track on this album and Robbie Krieger is a wonderfull guitarist who bring outiside influences like flamenco, jazz or blues. Its easy to forget about because of Jim Morrison appeal (sexual and vocal) but really his poetry, songwritting skills and raw voice work at aboslut perfection with this band. First it has a very very iconic cover, the faces of the band in a black image, kinda like the With The Beatles album, except with Morrison's face way bigger than the other, to show hoe beautifull and magic he was. The name is also cool, the name of the album is the same that the name of the band of course, it came from the Doors of perception a book by Aldus Huckley about his experience with psychedelic drugs, itself inspired by a quote by William Blake in the 18e century. So a reference to literature, to drugs and to niche autours, all of this perfectly summerzie what the band is about. On the top of this the album was a huge commercial sucess, the album itself and some of its songs, with arouynd 20 millions sales wordlwide since 1967 it is their best selling album. the song are honnestly some oif the best songs ever made, its almost criminal to have them all on just of album, they are are better and legendary. "Break On Through (To the Other Side)": Probably one of their most well known and recgonisable song, way faster than their habitual song, very poetic lyrics but sing with the rock and roll might of Jim make it perfect. "Soul Kitchen" is also very poetic, its about a black restaurant that Jim was going in Venice Beach, probaly in reference to the lyrics, the song is pretty much a soul song, a critic call it Funky blues rock, and i agree. Definitly on of the best song of their discography. "Crystal Ship" is way slower, and hade a very smooth vibe that tranport you in heaven, just the organ and Morrison voice are enough to make you dream. The lyrics of the song are pretty vague and open to intepretation could be about a lover, or death, or fame or drugs or all of them. "Twentieth Century Fox", is a cool song, a classical Doors song, with the organ that carry the song away, the song has some intersting meaning, about hollywood, a young actress and fame "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" is cover so good and well done that its almost not a cover anymore, its just a Doors song, everything on this song is good, Jim's voice is just magnetic, Ray Manzarek is really the star on this song i think, he play all the instrument that make the song good. This song is a wierd song from a 1930's german opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, but the song was trasnalted in english in the 30's and its another proof of hoe the literature influence the Doors. Anyway also on of their best song overall. "Light My Fire", the hit song that made the Doors of the most well known band of the late 60's, this song is closely associated with the 1967 summer of love and with big reason, the up beat song, about free love and sex. The song is so intersting musically, and in this song John Densmore have to be credited with the jazz style drumming that bring the song to another level. Ray that play organ and bass (on the organ) with his 2 hands give the song its unique touch, almost like a jazz improvisation. The song was written by Robbie inspired by the Rolling Stone's play with fire. The song topped the charts, and the lyrics "girl we couldn't get much high" was sing live in the Ed Sullivan Show (they ask Jim to not sing it and he did) so they were never invited again, but the damage was done and now the Doors enter rock and roll legend. The song is abviously one of their best and most well known but most, it one of the bets song ever made and just make you want to live in the 60's. "back-door man" is the other cover on the album wich is also so good that it now their song, this time its a Chicago blues song by Willie Dixon. A back door man is a doubble entente, first in the south its an expression to describe man who have affair with married woman (they enter/leave the house by the back door when the husband leave or came back). It could also be man who love anal sex So very very sexually inspired lyrics and the screaming at the beggening also tell us the raw enegery of the song. "I looked at you", its a pretty fast song, nothing so special, but very cool and joyfull. "The end of the night" is a truly beautifull song also classic Doors, very poetic with some literals influences of Jim like William Blake and french autors. The song is so moody and dreamy, and so psychedelic just moved you away. "Take It as It Comes" is way faster than the previous, its about love sex and life moving fast, apparently a tribute to the Maharishi Yogi, with his meditation classes that the band was taking (where some of them met). Pretty decent song. Wich other song would you have concluded this perfect album if not "The End" no better way to do it, the guitare by robbie here carry the song, with the mystical aura aound it its so pure. The lyrics talk about a love that ended and its a farewell to that girl. The song have some beauritufll image in the lyrics by Jim and the music make it even more tragic and mysterious. So the song was pretty simple at first but trought the month anjd the nconcert it grew longer, with the middle part that is a complete improvisation but Jim who was stoned out of his mind on LSD, and make a poems with so story and coherence but somehow is just moving you away (by far my favorite part). And then he stared on a story about a guy who killed his father and fuck his mother (reference to the oeadipian complexe). There is also the part where his said "fuck" repetely . Wich also gave the song an even greater aura, its the reccording where Jim was also very high on acid (wich explain a lot) and sang the song with an almost godly voice. This song its rock and roll at its best, purest form, a psychedelic masterpiece an greek tragedy so wonderfull, and the final where the muci just accelerate an explose in an epic climax and Jim just said "Kill" multiple time and then back to the beggening. Anyway a truly epic and magic song, and its their best song. Its difficult to find a more perfect album form every musical details, everysong every lyrics is good, inspired by so much diffrent kind of music and art, cinema, old, classic and avant-garde literature, psychedlic rock, jazz, blues, classical music. A modern album with old school and niche influence make it just perfect and was so much influential, inclunding for the Sgt peper albums by the Beatles. This album is esoterical, magic and deeply poetic, i have to say it again and again but this album is perfection and i truly love it.

The postumus album by the great Janis Joplin is probably her most well known and with highest sales. Its a blues rock and soul and her voice just break through every song, i think her most impressive performance is in Cry Baby. Buried Alive in the Blues is the most rock n roll track on the album, with organ parts like in her days with big brothers and its an instrumental wich is wierd for a Janis Joplin Solo album. The album have some great tracks like Move Over, Me And Bobby McGee, Mercedenz Benz, Half Moon The album is legendary, i dont think all the songs are great but none of them are bad, even with all the qualities of it, i don't find anything particular musically with some of thoses songs. But it is really a wonderfull reccord.

Electric Warrior launch the Glam Rock mouvement. That it it could be the only reason why its here, but on top of this this a an incredible reccord fill with great songs. The artwork is in my opinion a wonderfull one, a gold silouhette of Marc Bolan on a black background simple, but perfect. The name is pretty interesting, Electric Warrioir is a reference to the fact that they change their musicale direction a year prior, from psychedelic folk to pop rock, and in this case Glam Rock. The album open with 2 relatively slow track Mambo Sun and Cosmic Dancer. Both are incredible lyricaly and show a great writtingship by Bolan. Very poetic and fantasic lyrics with a very good music, some of the Best T.rex songs. Jeepster is one of my favorite, a bit more rockabilly and inspired by Howlin' wolf with more sexually explicit lyrics. Monolith is a bit like the first 2 songs, pretty slower with fantasist lyrics andf a reverse solo (Revolver Beatles style). Lean Woman Blues is a pure blues rock song, showing their great versatility and the range of their talent. I just love this song, the heavy riff and lyrics. Get It On is their most notable hit, the specific performance of this song on Top Of The Pop created Glam Rock. The riff of the song is known almost by everyone and the lyrics about sex are just so well written, unfortunatly its probabkly the only song people remeber from them, but we have to admit its by far their best. Its a perfect song, addictive, dancing, pure, sexual its everything Glam Rock should be. The song was of course a huge hit in the UK, and did pretty well outside, but T.Rex is pretty much only known for this song. Planet Queen is more accoustic in constrast, but honneslty one of the best song in the album, Marc's voice is really incredible here (like in all the song yes) Girl is a beautifull song, simple direct and mouving i love it. The motivator is in my opinion not so good, like not bad just not at the level of the other songs Life's a Gas as nothing particular Rip Off is probably the loudest song, with a heavy riff and fast lyrics, proto-punk in other terms. So obviously this album is a 5/5 just so much good song, so much more than just Get It On, one of the best Glam Rock album of all times all the way up with Ziggy Stardust. The legacy of this album is huge, for the following glam rock with artist like David Bowie, The New York Dolls and so many other glam bands that will take lesson from this reccord. But also in other music genra, like punk rock and glam metal that will be influenced by T.Rex. Finaly Marc Bolan, the charismatic leader is an underated guitarist, song written and frontman he is up there with all the greatest this album is nothing without him.
