Those are some good albums OP. I really think Red by King Crimson is a pretty perfect album by my estimation. It's got a song about a dude freaking out on an airplane which is always great.

I just bought a pair of $1,000 headphones (yes I agree I am a moron) so I've been slamming back some of my favorite albums with great new appreciation. Head Hunters, Herbie Hancock - This is the album that got me into jazz fusion way back in the day when the only reason I did anything related to jazz was my parents forcing me to learn classical guitar, so I basically hated it like all kids hate things their parents make them do. Hanging out with a whole bunch of pretentious teenaged music dweebs as a result of my guitar lessons exposed me to a lot of great music though, and this album finally converted me. It's funky as poo poo, has incredible instrumentation, and basically just flawlessly segues from apeshit to chill to apeshit to chill without feeling jarring at any point. This is an album I can play to people who normally read jazz as random noisy bullshit and they can immediately get into the vibe. It's accessible while still being super complex, and rather than a procession of droning jazz affectations, its more esoteric musical asides just come off as manic and heated to non-jazz listeners, that indispensable pop-off quality we all love. This is that type of poo poo you can hear playing on the speakers at some depressing rear end Walmart with bleak florescent lighting and you'd still be bobbing your head, grooving. No matter what mood I'm in, it always makes it better. gently caress to this album and you'll be loving like a nutcase I swear it. Thick as a Brick, Jethro Tull - This excessive album can be kind of polarizing, but the story behind it is somewhat ironic. Ian Anderson was somewhat bemused by critics referring to their other bomb-rear end album Aqualung as a concept album, and in response set out to create a bloated, excessive piece of prog-rock buffoonery. This is just one long rear end song split into two parts, with lyrics designed to parody the airy, vague and hammy evocative lyrics so many other groups like Yes, King Crimson and Genesis would splatter all over their poo poo. All done in lighthearted jest, but then the result is this sick rear end massive suite that just veers from one ridiculous place to another. What I really love about this album is that they went so far to even create a wild rear end soundstage, listening to Thick as a Brick with decent speakers or some good open ear headphones is absolutely wild. It's a trite cliche but there's some bomb three dimensionality throughout the whole album, Anderson's flute will be tooting from one direction here, then another over there, the bass will slap down below, and suddenly pop back up right in your face. It's super theatric and a lot of fun. Even the lyrics are actually kind of sweet with lots of great imagery. Also the gatefold the vinyl comes in made to look like a newspaper you can unfold and read, it's some seriously awesome packaging. Angel Dust, Faith No More - FNM's peak in my opinion, and stands massively above the rest of their discography, they managed to find a cohesive sound here without being as tonally tedious as The Real Thing or as disconnected and all over the place as their later, genre defying albums. Everything here is 90s as gently caress and super sludgy. The basslines are fatter than my mother's rear end and the guitars are some gnarly buzzsaw poo poo. The actual arrangements aren't wildly complicated but everything is so streamlined, designed to hit hard with a ton of volume, but not so dense or overproduced that it just turns into a slurry of sound like some poo poo black metal band or something, this album is straight up mathematics - well produced, super calculated and punchy. RV is just a funny as poo poo song and really entertaining to sing, and that's really a huge part of what makes this album great. Mike Patton's vocals matured quite a bit from The Real Thing and are way less whiny while being a lot more controlled and entertaining. He goes from throaty rear end growls to more expressive, melodic styles, EVERY song on this album is tons of fun to sing and the general aesthetic just flows super well together.

Bodyholes posted:I'm very pleased to see Hum mentioned, and that is a great album, but that's not even my favorite album from them. With King Crimson it's a toss up between Red and Larks' Tongues but Red always wins out because One More Red Nightmare is both sick as hell and incredibly hilarious to me. The song is so spastic and the vocals so frantic so the image of some dude losing his everloving poo poo on an airplane is super vivid.

Bodyholes posted:Funny thing about King Crimson, for many years I thought Islands was their "bad" one but I have recently discovered I may like that the third most. Have you heard Scarcity of Miracles yet? I'm just listening to it now and it seems pretty good actually. LCD-X, they're unbelievable. I'm meh on Islands but the title track alone makes it worthwhile, when I saw them live in August of last year they performed an arrangement of it and it was stunningly beautiful in person, both me and my dad teared up and we're classical emotionless stoic hardasses. Such a melancholy song. If you haven't seen them live yet you should absolutely go, without a doubt in my top two of concerts I've been to (the other being Herbie Hancock the very next month), they had three drummers and it was wild, and nah Scarcity of Miracles is still on my backlog, should toss it in now that I've got sick rear end headphones.

T Bowl posted:American Beauty is universally regarded as a classic record of the golden area of rock. A lot of people who say this type of poo poo don't even bother listening to most of the albums or artists completely. Like people referring to Queen as dad rock despite their first two albums being some of the gayest poo poo ever committed to vinyl. And it rules. I dunno how a bunch of dudes making hard rock songs about fairies and poo poo is considered dad rock considering it violates the "No gay stuff" rule.
