Geez this will be my First post besides my intro///
Top ten in no particular order.
1.-Blind Willie Johnson- Dark Was the Night
If I drank the koolaide and saw God, and said God put soul into a song, then across Blind Willie'e lips said song came.
2.Godspeed you! Black Emporer-Moya
While most people cannot stomach a full 20-30 minute Godspeed song this bite size godlett puts a massive amount of energy into 10:51 seconds. A new type o prog, massive and orchestral...
3.Boards of Canada - RoyGBIV
From my longest song to the shortest song .For some damn reason I instantly revert to a happy childhood moment when I hear this 2:31 second electro-minuette. If you have not heard the entire "Music Has the Right to Children" record you are missing out.
4.Rush-Lessons
First song I could play all the way through on guitar and subsequently the first time I ever hit some green.
5.Frou Frou - Let Go...
I love her voice and the beautiful composition of this song.
6. The Cinematic Orchestra- Science Fiction Jazz--
A mellow ambient jazz masterpiece from a band who has a superhuman drummer that wipes his arse with Mike Portnoy/Neil Pert brand toilet paper--- See the song for Flite audible delusions of a 3 armed drummer.
7. Jeff Buckley - Satisfied Mind
Have truer words ever been spoken?
8.Meshuggah - Rational Gaze
When I need metal and my heart rate upped 20 bpm on the treadmill... Nothing like metal in 6/8
9. Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic
Nothing like that early nineties shoogazer wall o sound. I love this band.
10. meat beat manifesto - simulacra
Spooky, Ambient.... thats my kinda style.
I tried to name a bunch of stuff people may not have heard of before. I have another top ten everyone has heard of. Which includes the likes of Radiohead,NIN,Massive Attack,FLA,Delierium,SRV,Satriani,Dream Theatre,Rush...etc
Top record of all time goes to OK CPU by raidohead with Dark Side of the Moon a Close second.
