Wolfgang Gartner – Weekend in America: #993 of best 1,000 albums ever!
Great electro house music with crushing grooves for days.
The Stranglers – Rattus Norvegicus: #994 of best 1,000 albums ever!
Conjures the feeling of being inside a gritty, indie British gangster flick and/or hanging out in a pub on a dreary English afternoon.
Sean Lennon – Friendly Fire: #995 of best 1,000 albums ever!
If you’re in the mood for a melancholy, quiet, pretty album with a Beatles-y vibe (and with literal Beatles-y lineage), Friendly Fire fits the bill.
Doc Heller – Terribly Mysterious: The Goat Boy Origins: #996 of best 1,000 albums ever!
This album represents the best of the kind of music listening I do these days while working or hanging out with family and friends during cocktail hour.
The Sugarhill Gang – 8th Wonder: #997 of best 1,000 albums ever!
It’s a fun (very) old school hip hop party album, and/but “Apache” is the towering achievement here that merits best 1,000 albums ever consideration.
Plumtree – Predicts the Future: #998 of best 1,000 albums ever!
“Scott Pilgrim” and many others are a fantastic blend of garage, poppy punk, and indie rock that are addictively ear pleasing.
Steppenwolf – The Second: #999 of best 1,000 albums ever!
Steppenwolf is a blend of late ‘60s psychedelia and hard rock which, melded together, gets you the term Acid Rock.
Agent Orange – Living in Darkness: #1,000 of best 1,000 albums ever!
It’s fresh, indie, passionate, and punk, all the more remarkable for an album produced some four decades ago
