    1. Pixies - Doolittle: THE best Pixies album. Enough said.
    2. Firewater - Psychopharmacology: I've been naming the latest Suomithreadis according to the songs in this CD. I love it. Everyone should listen to it.
    3. Pixies - Surfer Rosa: First couldn't really get into it, then did. Gigantic-River Euphrates-Where Is My Mind? combo is pretty hard to beat, but also has some clunkers, meaning it's not defeating Doolittle.
    4. CMX - Aura: I'll always describe CMX as the Finnish Pixies, and this is definitely CMX's Doolittle. It's even got a monkey in the cover. They don't sound exactly like Pixies, 'course, but that's not the point. You can't but love the tango-rock in Nainen Tanssii Tangoa.
    5. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables - my first album love. If I'd be asked to quote one song line from any album I love, I'd probably answer "Efficiency and progress is ours once a more/now that we have the neutron bomb/it's nice and quick and clean and gets things done".

      NOFX - The Decline

      1 song on it, but it's oh so perfect.

        In no particular order:

        1. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys. Seminal hardcore album, lead the revitalization of punk after the New Age movement started. Some of the greatest lyrics/vocals (by Jello Biafra) in all of music. How can you not love an album starting out with a song called "Kill the Poor"?

        2. Sandanista! - The Clash. Amazing combination of punk, reggae, new age, pop, and even some rap. A triple-album, which the members gave up royalties to, to make it affordable for us.

        3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin. Greatest blues-rock album ever. Drugs didn't **** up Plant's voice yet.

        4. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan. Dylan goes electric! But has lots of great acoustic songs. Like "Mr. Tambourine Man." Most of Dylan's albums are great, but this is just awesome.

        5. Beggar's Banquet - The Rolling Stones. Has "Sympathy for the Devil," does it need anything else? Well, the rest of the album is great anyways. Lots of blues rock goodness.

        6. Willy and the Poor Boys - Creedence Clearwater Revival. As always, great songs everywhere. It has "Fortuante Son." Gotta love their rockin/blues-grassy revision of r&b.

        7. Back in Black - AC/DC. Greatest metal album ever. "You Shook Me All Night Long!" Again, fine songs abound. Double guitars, tight playing, great vocals.

        8. Ride the Lightening - Metallica. Fine, fine thrash. Perhaps the best thrash album ever. When it's slow, it's as complex and layerd as classical, when it's fast it rocks like hell.

        9. The Beatles - The Beatles. Brilliant, magnificent, one of the greatest albums of all time.

        10. Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy. Best rap album ever. There wasn't all of this copyright crap restricting mixes back in the day. Songs were actually constructive comments about liberation rather than gangsta crap.

          to Ramo & Stefu for "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables". Definitely a seminal work. It was my "first album love", also.

          I haven't listened to Dead Kennedys in a while, for some reason... but I still have great respect for Jello Biafra.

          How do you guys feel about "Plastic Surgery Disasters"? Personally, I think it rivals "Fresh Fruit...". 'Moon Over Marin' & 'Halloween' are probably my two favourite DK songs.

          "Frankenchrist" is a fairly good album; nowhere near the quality of the first two, but it still has merit.

            I would also like to declare my love for the following:

            "Dark Horse" George Harrison
            'Maya Love, 'Dark Horse', 'So Sad', 'Jai Sri Krishna'... All head-sticker-inners. He made the best of the 70s scene. His cover of 'Bye Bye Love' is not to be missed.

            "We're Only In It For The Money" Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention
            I am not a Zappa-maniac by far, and don't claim to be one, so you'll forgive me if my tastes in his music aren't as sophisticated as some. I really, really like 'Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance'.

              Halloween's great, Moon Over Marin's transcendent, but FFfRV has Kill The Poor, California Ãœber Alles and Holiday in Cambodia. I mean, can't beat that. Just can't.

                  cinch, I'd actually say that Frankenchrist is a bit better than Plastic Surgery Disasters. Sure, it was slower than everything else they did, but makes up for it with songs with great melodies and awesome lyrics, like in "Soup is Good Food."

                  But this is all relative since I love all of their albums.

                    Man, I haven't thought about those albums for years. The Grand Illusions was one of the first albums that I bought.

                    Have you listened to them lately? Do they still hold up over time?

                                Supertramp - Breakfast In America is GREAT.
