Rage Against The Machine
Very political. I once read that some people say RAM is more of a "manifesto" than an album. This opinion is mixed—sometimes it's meant as praise, other times as criticism.
I noticed a lot of inspiration from Minor Threat, Black Flag, and other punk bands, but some major Led Zeppelin-style riffs also resonate in certain songs. For example, Wake Up reminds me of Kashmir, particularly in the rhythmic progression that Jimmy Page often used in his compositions.
I think this rebellious punk attitude is in decline—it has fully spread among the youth, and some verses from RAM sound somewhat caricatured nowadays. But it’s not completely cringe. I wouldn’t place this album among the elite, but certainly deserves to be in this list.

Elliott Smith
When I listen to folk, I don’t just hear notes or words — I hear echoes of eras. Voices of stones that witnessed battles, rivers that carried shipwrecks, winds that carved myths into untouched forests. To me, folk is an invitation to tread on soil where time hasn’t dissolved: stories immortalized not for being perfect, but for bearing the weight of the concrete — dried blood on swords, petrified tears in statues, whispers of names erased from history.
Yet Elliott Smith hands me a sterile void. Lack of testosterone-rock.
