It's usually all I hear on iTunes. Currently there are 32 songs that I (legally) downloaded on the 18th. The ones that I'm listening to the most are Pitty, Cansei de Ser Sexy and Fall Out Boy. But I absolutely fell in love with a song from Morrissey called The Headmaster Ritual (it was originally from The Smiths), it's live from one of the concerts in his You Are the Quarry album. It's absolutely lovely and I'm growing quite fond of it.
I'd also like to point out that I am in honeymoon with Cansei de Ser Sexy. I got four of their songs and I'm just listening to them over and over again on my iPod. I'll say Cansei gets into my top artists pretty soon -
My 100 Most Played Albums Of All Time
27 Aug 2008, 12:11 by Renegadesteve2
These are not my favourite 100 albums in order, they are the 100 albums i have played the most, therefore i don't like some of them as much as i used to.
100. N.W.A -- Straight Outta Compton
I Love this album because it captures the turmoil in LA at the time, and also has the perfect mix of clever lyrics(Ice Cube/EazyE) and great production (DrDre)
Favourite Tracks: Straight Outta Compton, Fuck Tha Police & Express Yourself
Worst Track: A Bitch Iz A Bitch (Misogynistic Nonsense!)
99.
Rage Against the Machine -- Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium
My favourite band of all time, supposed to have a brilliant live atmosphere, however this release is lacking that special buzz or potentcy. The CD also omits the live collabaration with Cypress Hill thats on the DVD.
Favourite Tracks: Shelter, Calm Like A Bomb, Freedom
Worst Track: Bombtrack
98. No Doubt -- Tragic Kingdom
Not usually a fan of Ska-Pop but this album is classic, good time songs mixed with the occasional emotional track, much better than Gwen's solo attempts.
Favourite Tracks: Just A Girl, Hey You & Sixteen
Worst Track: World Goes Round
97. Bloodhound Gang -- One Fierce Beer Coaster
This is a relic from my immature childhood listening habits, no longer appreciate this bands work i'm afraid.
Favourite Track: Fire Water Burn
Worst Track: the rest
96. Bloodhound Gang -- Hooray for Boobies
Same applies, with a name like this you know its gonna be bad! The only track i still enjoy is Along Comes Mary, nice Alternative Rock track there.
Favourite Tracks: Along Comes Mary & I Hope You Die
Worst Track: Everything Else
95. The Prodigy -- Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
The Prodigy are the best electronic based band in the world in my opinion because they were able to mix it with Rock, Metal, Funk, hiphop etc. However this album lacks most of this, and the MC Skills of Maxim which is a shame. Keith Flint is also missing so it lacks that Anarchy that the other albums has.
Favourite Tracks: Spitfire, Wake Up Call & The Way It Is
Worst Track: Pheonix
94.Gwen Stefani --
Love.Music.Angel.Baby
This is a good album and i dont care what you think lol. Some great production work from the likes of DrDre, and the brilliant imagery in tracks such as What You Waiting For, all this makes it an enjoyable listen.
Favourite Tracks: What You Waiting For?, Hollaback Girl & Danger Zone
Worst Track: Long Way To Go (Positive Message, Shit Song!)
93. Chris Cornell -- Euphoria Morning
I like Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, so i was excited by the prospect of his solo effort. Some say its disappointing, and whilst its not as good as his previous musical deliverings, it features some catchy songs and is a prime example of acoustic guitar work and post grunge.
Favourite Tracks: Preaching The End Of The World & Flutter Girl
Worst Track: the french version of Can't Change Me
92. Radiohead -- in rainbows
The best free album ever! Was so good i bought the cd as well. It continues the bands shift away from the mainstream but doesnt feature much electronic elements like the last few albums. Thom Yorke lyricism is some of his best ever such as All I Need, although the music is somewhat uninspiring in places.
Favourite Tracks: All I Need, Bodysnatchers & House Of Cards
Worst Track: Videotape
91. Kate Nash -- Made of Bricks
Some find her singing annoying and yes it can become monotone in places, but no one can rhyme and make jokes like her. Really talented and fun but also personal record that can be listened to over and over.
Favourite Tracks: Foundations, Mariella & Skeleton Song
Worst Track: Shit Song (literally)
90. Jay-Z -- In My Lifetime, Vol 1
My favourite rapper of all time, this was his first big album after his brilliant debut Reasonable Doubt. Brought him to the mainstream but his still rapped about the street and his journey, with some wicked samples.
Favourite Tracks: Friend Or Foe98, Rap Game/Crack Game & Sunshine
Worst Track: You Must Love Me
89. Velvet Revolver Contraband
I liked the music of GnRs but always though Axl Rose was a racist homophobic cock. But replace him with the Stone Temple Pilots singer, hmmmm. While this is no Appetite For Destruction, it does feature some kick ass songs, with Slash showing some brilliant guitar work. Gritty but still good, and the Sex Pistols cover is brilliant.
Favourite Tracks: Fall To Pieces, Slither & Bodies
Worst Track: Loving The Alien (just awful)
88. Pendulum -- Hold Your Colour
My first DnB album, also my favourite. Its so heavy and dark its almost like the metal of dance music. Brilliant samples with clips from Willy Wonka and Spiderman amongst my favourites. The songs change tempo and style throughout meaning it doesnt get stagnant.
Favourite Tracks: Slam, Girl In The Fire & Another Planet
Worst Track: Sounds Of Life
87. The White Stripes -- Get Behind Me Satan
The only album by them i have :( . It has its moments but some of it is a bit dull. I think it is because it lacks a bass guitar in most of it, the piano work is good though.
Favourite Tracks: Blue Orchid, My Doorbell & Red Rain
Worst Track: the Nurse
86.
85. Linkin Park -- Reanimation
Oh dear! Not really a huge fan of this band anymore, and this album is weak at best. Some shocking remixes in here, and spelling that would make the bands english teacher cry! Bringing in Jonathon Davis on a track was clever though
Favourite Tracks: 1st Klosr & My<Dsmbr
Worst Tracks: The Rest (Tha Rst)
84. Ice Cube -- The Predator
the last great Ice Cube album, before he sold out and made family movies. Still on near top form here, he revels in his former controversies whilst shaking the foundations with social commentries like We Had To Tear This Motherfucker Up
Favourite Tracks: It Was A Good Day, we Had To Tear this Motherfucker Up & Check Yo Self
Worst Track: Fuck Em
83. Red Hot Chili Peppers --
Californication
Their first true RHCP alternative album, whilst its has many good tracks, some let it down badly and it doesnt cut the mustard like the early funk records, some sad but beautiful lyrical topics in Scar Tissue and Otherside
Favourite Tracks: Scar Tissue, Otherside & Right On Time
Worst track: Purple Stain (No, just no!)
82. Pearl Jam -- Vs
The last real grunge album by Pearl Jam, whilst not as good as their debut, it still packs a considerable punch, and the drumming and guitar stands out to me. After this they decided to destroy their fame, and nothing after this was as good.
Favourite Tracks: Go, Dissident & Rearviewmirror
Worst Track: Rats
81. 2Pac All Eyez on Me
His final album, and what a lot of album it is. Nearly 2 Full hours of material, its rather generous. However, some of is boring as hell and he raps about the same things over and over, with not as much political angst in his earlier work.
Favourite Tracks: Ambitionz Az A Ridah, Only God Can Judge Me & 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted
Worst Track: Whatz Ya Phone # (Him having phone sex, hmm yeah great)
80. The Offspring -- Smash
There stuff before was shabby, their stuff afterwards was sellout-ish. This was the high point of not only their career, but also 90s Punk. It is so relevant today as it was then, dealing with teen angst, war, end of the world, drugs and gun culture. I used to listen to this on loop in year9.
Favourite tracks: Genocide, Come Out And Play & Not The One
Worst Track: Time To Relax
79. Faith No More -- The Platinum Collection
Features all the high points of their career, much of which excitingly varies between Funk, Metal, Rock, Rap etc. However, there are too many poor covers from the likes of Lionel Richie and the Bee Gees. Because it is a compilation, there is no flow to the songs either.
Favourite Tracks: Epic, Midlife Crisis & Last Cup Of Sorrow
Worst Track: Easy
78. The Panic Channel -- (ONe)
A rather bland album, listened to most of these scrobbles on a boring weekend away. Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins are wasting there time in this band. I never listen to this in full anymore, cant be bothered.
Favourite Tracks: Why Cry & Night One
Worst Track: The rest of the album
77. Blink-182 -- blink-182
A move away from their immature work of past, featuring some thought provoking songs including a collabaration with Robert Smith, although can get a bit slow in places.
Favourite Tracks: I Miss You, Go & all of this
Worst Track: Violence
76. Cypress Hill -- Black Sunday
This album is buzzing, the greatest Hip Hop group of all time. A brilliant and perfect mix between stoned beats, gangsta rapping and marijuana advocacy. Also has some crossover hits that increased its popularity.
Favourite Tracks: I Wanna Get High, I aint going Out Like That & Lick A Shot
Worst Track: What Goes Around Comes Around Kid
75. Green Day -- Dookie
A Very Good Album, shame they never equalled it. Before they thought they were the political voice for USA/MTV they made cool songs about girls and drugs. And thats what they should of stayed like! Perfect soundtrack to high school.
Favourite Tracks: Longview, Welcome To Paradise & Coming Clean
Worst Track: In The End
74. Fall Out Boy From Under the Cork Tree
Are they emo? Who cares, its a talented album that features catchy and memerable music with the occasional clever lyric. They too sold out (even more) and now pretend to be Michael Jackson. Now known as the pete wentz experience.
Favourite Tracks: Dance Dance, 7 minutes of Heavan, XO
Worst Track: Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner
73. Gnarkill -- GNARKILL
No comment, too damn childish.
72. Public Enemy -- It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Some of the most political hiphop ever made, Chuck D wasnt a musician, he was a revolutionairy! They preach about about whats wrong with both the street and the establishment, but some of the beats let this album down (Poor Queen Sampling Anyone)
Favourite Tracks: Bring The Noise, She Watches Channel Zero & Black Steel in the Hour Of Chaos.
Worst Track:Terminator X to the edge of Panic
71. Ice Cube -- Death Certificate
One of the most angry, political and contraversial albums of all time, it could only be Ice Cube. It captues the LA riots in the form of Hip Hop, giving an insight into what the people on the street felt, not what the media felt. Unfortunatly he decides to stray to ignorance at times with several anti-semitic and Korean tracks.
Favourite Tracks:Steady Mobbin, Horny Lil Devil & How to Survive In South Central
Worst Track: Black Korea (racist rubbish)
70. Audioslave -- Audioslave
The supergroup of RATM meets Soundgardens first album starts of with the buzzing Cochise and carrys on nicely, but half way through the album it peters out. Some good points, but too many empty ballads and a lack of energy seen in RATM or metal kick assness of Soundgarden.
Favourite Tracks:Cochise, What You Are & Set It Off
Worst Track: I Am The Highway
69. Deftones -- Adrenaline
Oh man this album is so powerful it is scary. Never has a singer put so much emotion into singing as Chino Merono does on this album. Anger, Sadness, Depression, Jealousy. Never has NuMetal been so effective since Korns debut.
Favourite Tracks: Bored, Root & 7 Words
Worst Track: Fireal
68. Oasis -- Stop The Clocks
Its a compilation album but i doesnt feel like one. It flows perfectly and unlike most 'greatest hits' albums, it has a lot of unreleased material on it as well. Its amazing that some of the early Bsides are actually better than most the later album tracks.
Favourite Tracks: Wonderwall, Acquisence & Songbird
Worst Track: Go Let It out
67. Audioslave -- Revelations
The best and ultimately last album by Audioslave, it is good because they finally start to become political, with New Orleans and Iraq on the agenda. Musically its a lot more laid back but balanced, with no bad tracks as such.
Favourite Tracks: Revelations, Original Fire & Wide Awake
Worst Track: One And the Same
66. The Prodigy -- Music for the Jilted Generation
Never has a band changed so much between first and second album than the Prodigy. Rave died and the band had to change or go into obscurity. When they came back they no had elements of Electronic, Goth, Industrial, Funk etc, and it is insane. Some of it is so good it is nearly hypnotic, especially the final part, the Narcotic Suite EP
Favourite Tracks: The Heat(The Energy),Poison & 3 Kilos
Worst Track: One Love
65. The Offspring -- Ixnay on the Hombre
The beggining of the end for the band. It means Fuck The Man in spanish, shows the level of maturity in it. Some high points include the notable Hispanic influences and teen anthem Cool To Hate.
Favourite Tracks: Me And My Old Lady, Cool To Hate & Gone Away
Worst Track: Intermission
64. Nirvana -- In Utero
No one could follow up Nevermind, so Nirvana didnt. They made an album so uncommercial, but with such heart wrenching and intimate lyrics, it still makes it a classic.
Favourite Tracks: Heart Shaped Box, Dumb & Very Ape
Worst Tracks: Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
63. Blink-182 -- Cheshire Cat
Not the greatest debut of all time it must be said. Songs about uriniation and farting, no thanks. An album for pre teenage years.
Favourite Tracks: M+Ms, Strings & TV
Worst Tracks: Most of the rest
62. Linkin Park -- Hybrid Theory
Again, another album i used to listen to, it has its moments, but they are few and far between. No guitar riffs, poor rapping, Metal that belongs and was made for MTV. Very produced and clean.
Favourite Tracks: One Step Closer, Runaway & A Place For My Head
Worst Track: Points Of Authority
61. Lil' Wayne -- Tha Carter II
The second part in a very impressive trilogy, my favourite southern rap album by my favourite Southern rapper. Some of the rhyming is fresh and his sampling is varied and original.
Favourite Tracks:Money On My Mind, Fireman & Best Rapper Alive
Worst Track: Get Over
60. Blink-182 -- Dude Ranch
Their first big and decent album, probably my favourite of there's, still enough rock not to be credited as Pop Punk, it also had a certain degree of ironic humour, not just toilet humour!
Favourite Tracks: Voyeur, Dammit & Dick Lips
Worst Track: A New Hope
59. Radiohead -- Hail to the Thief
In my opinion i think this is Radioheads most political album, the title refering to the 2000 US election. The album furthers their pursuit of electronic music but the vocals also add an extra depth with its blunt honesty.
Favourite Tracks: Myxomatosis, There There & A Punch Up At A Wedding
Worst Track: The Gloaming
58. Lil' Wayne -- Tha Carter III
The best part of 'Tha Carter' trilogy, simply because each of the tracks differ in terms of beats and sampling, but all have Lil Waynes quick witted lyricism and referencing ability in common. Also starting to get more political as well. No wonder why this album sold so many copies, it rocks!
Favourite Tracks: Phone Home, Let The Beat Build & You Ain't Got Nuthin On Me
Worst Track: Mrs Officer
57. Alice in Chains -- Dirt
Probably the heaviest and scariest grunge album i own. This is a very special album, the angst ridden metal music interwoven with Layne Stayleys terrified singing. An album of two parts, Part1: drugs are fun, Part2 they really aren't!
Favourite Tracks: Down In A Hole, Godsmack & Would?
Worst Track: Iron Gland
56. Jay-Z -- The Blueprint
Just when his career was starting to go down hill, he came back with the Blueprint. Written in just 7 days apparently, it has even more clever lyrics than Reasonable Doubt. Also feels less crowded because there are only a few guest perfomers.
Favourite Tracks: Takeover, Jigga That Nigga & Heart Of The City
Worst Track: Blueprint
55. Nirvana -- Unplugged In New York
Easily the best live album ever made! This posthumous release adds a whole new dimension to Nirvana's work. Reworking some of their songs into an acoustic version and covering tracks by David Bowie, Meat Puppets etc, this is a rare example when a band shys away from their biggest but not always best hits.
Favourite Tracks: Polly, Plateau & Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Worst Track: Pennyroyal Tea
54. System of a Down -- Mezmerize
The first album i bought by SOAD, easily one of their wierdest, probably not as good as Toxicity, but it still packs a punch. Unfortunatly this was the album that Daron Malakian started to sing on. I always prefered Serj. The songs themselves are very political, from international to home.
Favourite Tracks:Cigaro, Question! & Sad Statue
Worst Track: Radio/Video
53. Zwan -- Mary Star of the Sea
The only happy 'Smashing Pumpkins' album. Much like a sequal to Siamese Dream just no quite as good. Billy Corgans lyrics are touching and have that feel good element to them. I also like Pajo's guitar work. Shame they only released one of their albums.
Favourite Tracks:Lyric, Yeah! & Jesus I
Worst Track: Of A Broken Heart
52. Radiohead -- Pablo Honey
So very different from their other albums, almost grunge like in places. The album is very average apart from the first two songs. They truely show Thom Yorkes potential as a brilliant song writer.
Favourite Tracks: You, Creep & Anyone Can Play Guitar
Worst Track: Thinking About You.
51. Box Car Racer -- Box Car Racer
I never liked Tom DeLonge as much as Mark Hoppus, but this is his greatest piece of work ever! Much more mature and reflective than Blink, it tells the story of a world that is going through self destruct. Many references to 9/11 and the world at the time, make it an interesting listen.
Favourite Tracks: Cat Like Thief, And I & Elevator
Worst Track: My First Punk Song
50. System of a Down -- System of a Down
A Brutal and heavy affair that kicks so much butt its unbelievable. Firmly announced SOADs arrival as the post RATM political band. Features a huge pride for their Armenian heritage and mixing it with American Metal. Crazy Stuff.
Favourite Tracks: Suite Pee, Know & Sugar
Worst Track: Ddevil
49. The Prodigy -- Fat Of The Land
The album that made them world superstars, also molded them into more of a band like ensamble. Contraversial lyrics, claustrophobic videos, and imaginative sampling, this album was on my cd player for months.
Favourite Tracks: Breathe, Mindfields & Climbatize
Worst Track: Serial Thrilla
48. KoЯn -- Korn
This is scary scary stuff. Bunch of outcasts from a small town become the outcasts of the music scene. They don't fit in, and they sing about it. Very angry, remorseful, and soul searching is found on the album. The drumming is insane, taking a keen influence from HipHop Beats, whilst Jonathon Davis debuts his unique bag pipe solo's and nursery rhyme recitals.
Favourtie Tracks: Divine, Faget & Shoots and Ladders
Worst Track: Ball Tongue
47. Jay-Z -- The Black Album
The first Rap album i ever bought, i used to think it was the bees knees. To be fair there are some brilliant tracks, especially the Rick Rubin produced 99 Problems, but there is alot of filler. The lyricism isnt so good, but producers like Rick and Kanye West bring it back up.
Favourite Tracks: 99 Problems, Dirt Of Your Shoulder & Public Service Anouncment
Worst Track: December 4th
46. Pearl Jam -- Ten
The greatest grunge album i ve ever heard. Everything about it is perfect, not a single bad track. Eddie Veddars vocals are so gravely yet relaxing and capturing, this album has so many huge tracks, Jeremy can be played over and over and it still doesnt lose that edge.
Favourtie Tracks: Once, even flow & Jeremy
Worst Track: Alive (Live Version)
45.
Chamillionaire -- The Sound of Revenge
Most people reject this album/artist because of MTV hits like Ridin and other generic crap. However if you get passed that, there are some real gems on the album. The rapping is nothing special, but some of the backing beats are classic.
Favourite Tracks: In The Trunk, Southern Takeover & Fly As The Sky
Worst Track: Ridin
44.
Kanye West -- The College Dropout
Dont listen to it if you are unsure about whether to go to University, Kanye will try to persuade you not to. Very anti-college but with brilliant lines and production by himself. Touching on all kinds of subject matter, from religion to love, the album would be perfect if not for all the skits in it, which become a bit annoying.
Favourite Tracks: Spaceship, Jesus Walks & Get Em High
Worst Tracks: Slow Jamz
43. Wiley -- Playtime is Over
My second favourite grime album of all time. Happy positive beats in contrast to the dark subject matter, with the occasional hit here and there. Funny culture references round almost every corner.
Favourite Tracks: 50/50, Johnny Was A Bad Boy & Eski-Boy
Worst Tracks: Come Lay With Me
42. System of a Down -- Steal This Album
The first Bsides album in my list, some of these tracks are very good and should of been put on the albums. Others are there as filler though and others can be moronic like Fuck The System. Some emotional slow tracks as well that differs from their other work.
Favourite Tracks: NuGuns, I-E-A-I-A-I-O & Mr Jack
Worst Track: 36
41. The Libertines -- The Libertines
Not usually my sort of thing, but this is very impressive. You can really feel the chemistry and ethic between Doherty and Barat, and it is a very personal recording. Shame that their falling out and drug use meant this was their last album. A messy effect gives it that indie feel.
Favourite Tracks: What Became Of The Likely Lads, Can't Stand Me Now & The Man Who Would Be King
Worst Track: Albeit Macht Frei
40. G-Unit -- Beg For Mercy
Its embarrising to have anything by 50 Cent and his Crew in my charts and this album is nothing special. MTV rap at its most commercial, the only thing going for it is some of the beats and the freestyle at the end.
Favourite Tracks: My Buddy, Im So Hood & G'd Up
Worst Track: I Smell Pussy
39. Dr. Dre -- 2001
A great rap album, mixing Dr Dre's great production skills and encyclopedic knowledge of sampling music, with his blazed lyrics, especially the occasional help from Snoop Dogg. So many big hits on here, a couple of tracks let it down, normally the ones where woman are described as objects, and the ones where he glamorizes that kind of thing.
Favourite Tracks: Still DRE, The Next Episode & Murder Ink
Worst Track: Pause 4 Porno
38. The Smashing Pumpkins -- Adore
Many people dont rate this album but i love it. Its so emotional, dealing with Billy's mothers death and his love life. Introducing electronic elements it is rather dark and slow, with the drumming being rather repetitive, because of them using a drum machine.
Favourite Tracks: Ava Adore, Pug & For Martha
Worst Track: The Tale Of Dusty And Pistol Pete
37. Lethal Bizzle -- Against All Oddz
Lethal Bizzle debut album, clearly more grime than indie at that point. Some of his rhymes are poor, but the production is usually rather good,a nice mixture of slow and fast songs. He mentions his appreciation for being where he is, which not many rap artists do.
Favourite Tracks: Uh Oh, Mind Your Head & Fuck You
Worst Track: What We Do
36. Pendulum -- In Silico
The Kings of the DnB scene, this album isnt as good as the debut but is easier to listen to, less heavy and more varied. It doesnt relie heavily on samples and has a lot more rock and indie influences. The best tracks however are the ones with large electronic elements.
Favourite Tracks: Propane Nightmares, The Otherside & Granite
Worst Track:Showdown
35. Serj Tankian -- Elect The Dead
A Brilliant debut by the greatest songwriter in metal today. Very different from SOAD, in this album he really shows of his piano skills and vocal scale which makes it a unusual record. Very spiritual and political, it is where SOAD left off, just in a different style.
Favourite Tracks:Sky Is Over, Honking Antelope & Praise The Load And Pass The Ammunition
Worst Track: Baby
34. Jay-Z -- American Gangster
A return to Mafioso rap by Jay-Z and inspired by the film of the same name, this is an excellent incite into the city that JayZ grew up in, and the enviroment left behind like the gangsters described in the movie. There are some great guest spots on the album as well, Lil Wayne, Kanye West etc...
Favourite Tracks: Hello Brooklyn, Roc Boys & Blue Magic
Worst Track: Pray
33. Rage Against the Machine -- The Battle of Los Angeles
RATM's last studio album, and a good way to go off. More rock based than the others in my opinion, and focusing on political events of the late 90s, this album features some of Zacks best rapping, although the music can seem a bit the same-ish towards the end.
Favourite Tracks: Calm Like A Bomb, Mic Check & Maria
Worst Track: Ashes in the Fall
32. Kanye West -- Graduation
Features some great songs, and some average tracks. More than ever Kanye relies on sampling, such as the excellent Daft Punk backing in Stronger. Lyrically he has been better, but its better than 90% of Rap albums today.
Favourite Tracks: Good Morning, Stronger & Homecoming
Worst Track: I Wonder
31. Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Definately their masterpiece and greatest album. A Defining album in 90s music and Funk Metal, it has unbelievably brilliant bass riffs, funky guitar playing and Anthony's brilliant and complex singing. It switches from Funk Rock Epics to Sing along classics.
Favourite Tracks: Breaking The Girl, I Could Of Lied & Under The Bridge
Worst Track: Power Of Equality
30.Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Greatest Hits
RHCP again! The compilation of their mainstream hits, an impressive album which features mostly songs from BSSM and Californication. Unfortunatly it skips some of the hits from One Hot Minute and By The Way which is a shame. The new tracks are good and show a style that resembles something they used to play.
Favourite Tracks: Give It Away, By The Way & Save The Population
Worst Track: Universally Speaking
29. Nine Inch Nails -- With Teeth
A Brilliant album, no other word can describe it. Some of Trents most personal and harmonious songs, and Dave Grohls drumming is vicious. No instrumentals on this album which a shame, and no remixes either. Less electronic influence than in earlier releases.
Favourite Tracks:All The Love In The World, Only & Sunspots
Worst Track:Do You Know What You Are?
28. System of a Down -- Toxicity
Every decade an album captures the feeling of Los Angeles. In the noughties it was Toxicity, which also captured Americas self paranoia, and was ironically released the same time as 9/11. From the thought provoking tracks(Prison Song, X) to the down right mad(Bounce) the album is monumental.
Favourite Tracks:Prison Song, X & Shimmy
Worst Track: Jet Pilot
27. Dave Navarro -- Trust No One
A very different direction by the former Jane;s Addiction guitarist. The album, featuring a number of acoustic tracks, deals with the murder of his mother, his failed marriage and drug addiction. Withdrawal is the main topic throughout and his style is heavily influenced by Velvet Underground, including a cover Venus In Furs.
Favourite Tracks: Hungry, Mourning Son & Avoiding The Angel
Worst Track: Not For Nothing
26. Nas -- Illmatic
The greatest Hip Hop album of all time, no joke. Made me fall in love with East Coast Rap. Such a magnificent debut, which he has never equalled unfortunatly. The lyrics and rhymes are some of the finest ever heard in the genre and the beats bring out so many emotions.
Favourite Tracks: NY state of mind, The World Is Yours & Halftime
Worst Track: Life's A Bitch
25. Kano -- Home Sweet Home
I had never heard any Kano before i bought this, i wasn't disappointed at all!.Not as good as Dizzee or Wiley, but he still has a lot of talent and tells it how it is. Sampling tracks such as War Pigs and rapping over them takes guts and he pulls it off. Some tracks falter, but its an experience.
Favourite Tracks: P+Qs, Reload It & Signs In Life
Worst Track: Nobody Dont Dance No More.
24. Nine Inch Nails -- The Fragile
An experimental and conceptual double album, like most of NIN other work, its bleak. But thats not a bad thing. Some songs scream awesomeness such as Starfuckers Inc. Most songs start off slow but explode into madness.
Favourite Tracks:Somewhat Damaged,Pilgrimage and Starfuckers Inc
Worst Track: La Mer -
