Aerosmith
Listen, I’m already a big fan. Seen them 13 times and it would have been 15 if they hadn’t cancelled their last tour.
But putting that aside, this is a slab of 70s rock goodness that is fueled by drunkenness, drugs and debauchery. It’s dark and raw and I’ve always felt like it had a polished messiness to it. Amazing riffs supporting sleazy and sexy lyrics. It’s the type of stuff that inspires air guitar playing and teens to pick up an actual instrument and start a band, which this album certainly did.
It’s a perfect example of that mid 70s hard rock sound that led to Van Halen and built off of Led Zep, and the Stones.

I’d make the argument that this is one of the best debut albums ever. And “She talks to angels” is one of the best written a beautiful rock ballads ever.

This album may not sound fresh now, but coming in on the heels of the 90’s pop-country explosion, it was raw and gritty Americana that is one of the albums that marked a growing split between mainstream country and more rootsy country. This album, along with those form The Old 97s, Whiskeytown and a few others helps to pave the way (pun kind of intended) for Drive By Truckers, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson and others.
Putting aside its historical significance, it’s a great album that I still find compelling.

The Residents
No.
I listened to this back to back with “Low” from David Bowie, which isn’t exactly top 40 pop listenable stuff. But the difference is stark - Bowie manages to say something that feels like a complete, mature statement that is art.
These guys sound like a bunch of high schoolers who could be good if they stopped fucking around in the studio. It’s immature and weird for the sake of being weird, not for the sake of advancing art or making a statement. Theres enough glimmers of talent that I won’t give it a one star but it’s close.

I really don't like reggae. I listened to this album and it felt like one long song.
